JSO douse George Osborne and newlywed spouse Thea Rogers in orange confetti

George Osborne’s wedding ceremony was crashed right now by what seems to be a Just Stop Oil protester throwing orange confetti over the newlyweds.

The protest group later joked on Twitter that the pair “looked good in orange” following a video of the second the confused couple have been doused in orange.

The 52-year-old ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer married his former Treasury adviser Thea Rogers in a ceremony in Bruton, Somerset, right now.

They have been surrounded by pals and Tory bigwigs together with David Cameron and Michael Gove.

But the second they emerged from the church after tying the knot was marred by a lady with gray hair who ran up behind the couple and threw orange confetti over them. 

Both Thea and George may very well be seen nervously glancing at her as she approached, unsure of her intentions. 

It was initially unclear if the prank was associated to eco-group Just Stop Oil (JSO) who earlier this week sprinkled the identical confetti over Court 18 at Wimbledon, interrupting the match involving British primary Katie Boulter.

But JSO’s official Twitter account later shared the video and wrote: “You look good in orange George Osborne.”

“Congratulations to the newlyweds.”

They then shared a collection of articles tying George Osborne to grease corporations in addition to a submit from NASA which learn: “Unofficial records suggest that in recent days the global average temperature was the warmest that has ever been directly measured.”

The girl, whose confetti had been stored in a Union Jack-marked bag, fled the scene when what seemed to be a safety guard approached her.

Express.co.uk has contacted Just Stop Oil for remark.

The act of protests has garnered a number of sad responses. Several on social media stated they’d gone “too far” by attempting to smash their huge day.

One stated: “I generally support your actions, and I am no fan of George Osborne, but this is not on. You have overstepped the mark. Your actions today will have done your cause no good whatsoever.”

Another added: “Really shameful of you. If you think doing this will put the public on your side, then you couldn’t be more wrong.”
