Real Madrid star Gareth Bale marries his childhood sweetheart in secret

Real Madrid sensation Gareth Bale has secretly married his childhood sweetheart in a hush-hush ceremony which snubbed his bride's devastated grandparents.  

John and Eva McMurray, who helped raise newlywed Emma Rhys-Jones, are reeling after they were missed off the 60-strong guest list for the couple's wedding on the exclusive Spanish island of Tagomago off Ibiza.

It comes amid claims that the Welsh international is trying to airbrush his in-laws from their lives following a spell of 'family turmoil' which last year forced the pair to postpone their nuptials.
