The inside of Amir Khan’s under fire, new wedding venue has been revealed.
The £11.5million Dubai-style tower was criticised because it was opposite a car wash and the roads around it were covered in fly-tipped rubbish.
Couples wanting to tie the knot there can now have a look around and make bookings.
One room has been unveiled, with sofas and an armchair around a posh table.

There are also candles and pamphlets about the venue called The Balmayna – which translates as Enamelled from Arabic – in Bolton, Gtr Mancs.
It has a grand chandelier hanging from the ceiling.
But wires can be seen on the metal corrugated roof connecting it and a smoke alarm.

One local said: “This looks like the bridal suite or room of some sort.”
Joe Ibbotson said: “Looks great.”
One – named Maria – guessed at the price adding: “£9,000.”
Balmayma is based in Washington Street in the ex-boxer’s hometown.
The extravagant-looking, glass-fronted building has palm trees and a water feature out the front.
It has a waterfall inside plus state-of-the-art lighting and sound systems.
The design has divided opinions with one fan likening it to a building in Dubai – where he partly resides.
But another local slammed it saying it looks 10 years out of date.
Former ring king Khan, 37, wed Faryal Makhdoom, 32, 10 years ago.
The former welterweight and light-welterweight champ and US model – worth an estimated £31million – have three kids together.
One local – called Rahila – said: “The design is about 10 years out of date.”
Jagtar Singh said: “Does it have a bar?”
Yet another said: “It’s like a building from Dubai.”
Fawzia Wahid added: “Wow congratulations finally it is open.”
