A bookmaker has stopped taking bets on who will design Meghan Markle’s wedding dress after punters flocked to back fashion house Alexander McQueen.
Paddy Power said the flurry of activity on Tuesday morning saw odds for McQueen tumble from 16/1.

A spokesman for the firm said: “Our traders have been inundated with bets for McQueen to be the designer of Meghan’s dress this morning.
“So much so they’ve had to suspend the betting
“Either someone sneaky knows something, or there’s plenty of shrewd punters who are up on their fashion knowledge.”
Ms Markle would be following in the footsteps of future sister-in-law the Duchess of Cambridge if she opts for McQueen on her big day.

Kate turned to Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen to design her intricate lace wedding gown in 2011.
Other designers tipped to create the former Suits star Ms Markle’s dress include Roland Mouret, Erdem and one of the Queen’s favourite designers Stewart Parvin.
Ms Markle’s stylist and close friend Jessica Mulroney runs a bridal store in Toronto so is said to have been helping the bride choose her gown.
The star and Prince Harry will wed in May at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle.
