Man arrested at Venezuela Fury's wedding held on suspicion of 'licensing offence'
Further details have emerged about the arrest made at the wedding of Tyson Fury's daughter, Venezuela, at the weekend.
The 16-year-old got hitched to Noah Price, 19, on Saturday (16 May) at the Royal Chapel of St John on the Isle of Man, before celebrating their reception at the luxury Comis Hotel and Resort.
Hours after the newlyweds said their 'I do's', police then rocked up to the swanky venue where Venezuela and her new husband were dancing the night away and arrested a man.
According to reports, he was taken away by officers just moments after Peter Andre had wrapped up his performance at the Fury family wedding.

Now, a statement shared by the Isle of Man Constabulary has shared further details about why the man was bundled in the back of a police van - and it's down to 'disorderly behaviour on licensed premises'.
In a statement shared with LADbible, police said: "The Isle of Man Constabulary can confirm that officers were called to attend The Comis Hotel, Santon on the evening of Saturday 16th May 2026.
"A man was arrested and subsequently cautioned with a licensing offence.
"We are unable to comment further at this time regarding the identity of the individual involved or the circumstances surrounding the arrest."
Cops can arrest a person who is behaving disorderly or acting indecently to the annoyance of any person on licensed premises under the Isle of Man 2021 Licensing Act.
The Daily Mail reported that four police cars turned up to The Comis Hotel on Saturday evening as the bash was well underway, while a man was also seen being searched by officers.
Hotel staff are said to have rang the police after wedding guests began arguing at the reception, according to the publication.
A source claimed that although the alleged incident was 'nothing serious', employees at The Comis Hotel 'didn't want to take any chances' and so alerted cops.
Prior to the update, police on the Isle of Man confirmed a man was arrested to LADbible and said 'enquiries remained ongoing'.
"We are unable to comment further at this time regarding the identity of the individual involved or the circumstances surrounding the arrest," a spokesperson for the force said in a previous statement.
Despite the disruption during the wedding reception, Venezuela's famous father Tyson described her wedding as a 'beautiful day'.
In an Instagram post shared on Sunday (17 May), the former heavyweight champion wrote: " A beautiful day of celebrating my daughter’s wedding day, @venezuelaprice1 she was amazing & I'm very proud of her! We both were crying like babys [sic]."
Earlier on Saturday, guests made it through the drizzle to the church while some notable family members were missing.
Tyson’s brother Tommy was absent, while his partner Molly-Mae Hague and daughter Bambi flew over in a private jet.
The three-year-old was one of Venezuela’s bridesmaids and her dad’s reps explained: “Tommy wasn’t there as he’s currently deep in training camp for his fight against Eddie Hall on June 13th."
Venezuela's grandfather, John Fury, also skipped the big day. He previously expressed his disapproval of her being in an intense relationship while still a teenager.
"They're children," John said previously. I don't think she's mature enough for anything like - she's still a baby. On my watch a 15-year-old should never have a boyfriend, never."
How was Venezuela Fury able to get legally married at 16?
In 2023, it became illegal in England and Wales for anyone under the age of 18 to get married. The minimum age was raised from 16 to 18 in a bid to protect vulnerable children across the UK, the UK government states.
The Marriage and Civil Partnership (Minimum Age) Act 2022 means that 16 and 17-year-olds are strictly not allowed to marry or enter a civil partnership, even if they have parental consent. It is illegal and a criminal offence to exploit vulnerable children by arranging for them to marry, under any circumstances, whether or not force is used.
Taking all of this into consideration, fans of the Fury family have been scratching their heads over how Venezuela was able to legally tie the knot to husband Noah.
Well, it was all because of their wedding location - the Isle of Man.
Fans of the family will know that Tyson moved his wife, Paris, and their seven children from Morecambe, Lancashire, to the Isle of Man in November 2025 because of the number of 'disturbed' visitors who would arrive at his house at all hours of the day and night.
"I looked at moving abroad, far away, but it turned out that the Isle of Man is the perfect place for me – English speaking, English pound notes," Tyson said, per ITV News. "I can go and get an English newspaper from the local petrol station with my coffee and speak my own lingo."
And it turns out that the big move worked very well in Venezuela's favour, as the legal minimum age of marriage in the Isle of Man is 16, rather than 18.
Parental consent is needed for anyone aged 16 or 17 wanting to tie the knot, which wasn't an issue at all for Venezuela and Noah.
Mum Paris has been outspoken in defending her daughter's decision to marry so young, with her previously saying on This Morning: "Venezuela is so mature for her years. She's done so much in such a short time just because of who she is and the fact that she's got six younger brothers and sisters that she's helped bring up, I can't deny it...”
Pointing out how she was 17 when she married Tyson, Paris added: "She's obviously following in my footsteps, so how can I judge her in any way. I know she's young. But I think she's found the person she loves and if she's happy, I will completely support her."
