Channel 4 has reportedly commissioned a Big Fat Gypsy Weddings special to coincide with the royal wedding.

The one-off show will apparently feature the marriage of a real gypsy princess and prince from the travelling community, and will air on April 29 - the same day Prince William and Kate Middleton marry at Westminster Abbey.

A source told the Daily Star: "The special will involve a very clever take on the royal wedding and will prove to be the real people's wedding".

"There's been a huge amount of interest in Big Fat Gypsy Weddings, so it is perfect to tie something in with the royal wedding. People will be gripped by wedding mania on this special day and we want to serve up something special for them to enjoy."

A second series and a Christmas special are also being planned following the huge ratings success of the show.
