Paris Hilton shared her delight about close friend Britney Spears finding her happily ever after during her appearance on Tuesday’s Lorraine.

The pop star, 41, and her long-term partner Sam Asghari tied the knot in June 2022, eight months after her 13-year conservatorship ended.

Hilton was one of several famous faces, including Selena Gomez, Drew Barrymore and Madonna, in attendance when the couple said, ‘I do’.

Spears, who has two sons, Sean Preston, 16, and Jayden James, 15, with ex-husband Kevin Federline, became a close friend of Hilton’s during the early noughties after her reality series, The Simple Life, catapulted her into the limelight.

Speaking about her pal, Hilton, 42, said: “I’m so happy for her, she deserves all of the happiness in the world. She’s one of the kindest people I’ve ever known.”

The reality TV star is currently promoting her new book, Paris: The Memoir, and spoke candidly to the Scottish broadcaster about her ADHD diagnosis.

The socialite shared: “Knowing all I know now and after studying ADHD for so long, I just see so many reasons why I was the way I was.”

Hilton also spoke about how her husband Carter Reum, and the birth of their first child, a son named Phoenix, has changed her for the better, admitting her life now “feels so complete”.

She added: “Timing is everything and I had such walls around my heart, and it wasn’t until my documentary that those walls came down.

“And Carter definitely made them come crashing down. My life feels so complete, I feel so excited for the future and he’s [Phoenix] just everything to me.”

In January, Hilton announced the arrival of her son, who was born via by surrogate.

At the time, she shared a photo clutching onto her newborn’s hand and wrote: “You are already loved beyond words” followed by a blue heart emoji.

She later revealed that they had kept the birth a secret from even their closest friends and family.

Lorraine airs weekdays at 9am on ITV1 & ITVX
