Tracey Emin, 52, told Post magazine: “The whole thing with the stone is - it’s a big f****ing stone, right. It’s in my garden, it’s very nice and very impressive and I like it a lot.”

Emin said she wore her father’s white funeral shroud during the ceremony in France and has now started wearing a wedding ring.

She told reporters the unlikely romance has also inspired her latest show, called I Cried Because I Love You.
