Stephen Fry has hinted that “the patter of tiny feet” could be on the agenda following his wedding to Elliott Spencer.

The 57-year-old host of the QI TV quiz show broke the news of his marriage by posting a picture for his 8.5 million Twitter followers earlier this month, showing him and his 27-year-old husband signing a register.

And now in an interview with The Sun he intimated a family could be the subject of a future autobiography.

When asked about fatherhood, he told the paper: “Well that is peeping into Volume Two. Volume One, the marriage is still … I hope it will never close, but in Volume Two the little family, the patter of tiny feet. Come back to me on that one.”

And he revealed a little more about the ceremony itself, saying his first dance was to a song by American composer Cole Porter.

“We did have a first dance but anybody who has seen me dance would not call it a dance. It was a shuffle,” he said.

“I wanted to choose a tune written by Al Jolson. It is the only great tune he wrote as far as I know. It’s called Oh How We Danced On The Night That We Were Married. But I could not get it on my iPhone or my Android so we had Cole Porter instead.”
