The Project host Hamish Macdonald threw a wild party at his $3.8million Paddington villa on Saturday, leading to noise complaints and a knock on the door from police.

The journalist, 40, is believed to have hosted the gathering at his three-bedroom home to celebrate marrying his longtime partner Jacob Fitzroy.

At least two NSW Police officers were called to the scene after complaints from neighbours, who described Macdonald’s party as ‘intrusively loud’.

‘It’s so loud. Six hours so far. I have a headache,’ a disgruntled resident who lives in the same street told Daily Mail Australia when the party was still in full swing.

They added the following morning: ‘It was torture for eight hours. If I had known, we would have gone to the Southern Highlands for the weekend with the children.’

Another neighbour said the speeches they overheard at Macdonald’s home gave the impression it was a reception for a wedding.

‘I could hear the speeches but not word for word. The music was blaring like it was on in my own house. Every single room,’ they said.

According to one eyewitness, the music ‘suddenly went off at 11:54pm’, just three minutes after officers attended Macdonald’s property.

Paddington police confirmed to Daily Mail Australia officers were called to the home.

Loud: At least two officers were called to the scene after complaints from local residents. Meanwhile, a neighbour said the speeches heard at Macdonald's home gave the impression it was a reception for a wedding, leading to rumours he and Fitzroy (left) had tied the knot

Macdonald was seen wearing a ring on his wedding finger on The Project three months ago, leading to rumours he’d secretly married Fitzroy.

While he didn’t draw attention to the ring during the show, viewers were quick to speculate he may have finally sealed the deal with his partner.

Macdonald is known to be extremely private when it comes his personal life, and quit social media altogether in 2020.

The former Q&A host publicly came out as gay in June 2019 when he held hands with Fitzroy at the GQ Gentlemen’s Ball.

He later said the outpouring of support he received afterwards ‘was so profoundly touching’.

Fitzroy first appeared on Macdonald’s Instagram account in April that year, posing alongside the Channel 10 star and friends Joanna Jolly and Lisa Millar.

Macdonald was once reduced to tears when he described their special relationship.

‘He’s my best friend and I just feel tremendously lucky to share our lives together,’ he said on The Project.

‘He’s… I got a bit emotional. He’s really the best person I know. He makes life pretty fun. I didn’t know such happiness was possible.’
