Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are rumoured to be getting married in Africa.

The Hollywood couple - who are expecting their first baby together - sparked wedding rumours after tightening security at their Namibian hideaway.

Heavily pregnant Angelina ordered her bodyguards to keep people away from the swanky Burning Shore beach lodge - where she and Brad have been staying - and staff have also been spotted erecting huge cloth screens around the property.

The couple's relatives are also believed to be flying to the southern African resort.

A source is quoted in Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper as saying: "We've heard Brad Pitt's brother Doug is flying out and some of her family, too. Everyone's wondering if they're going to get married here before the baby's born.

"It's only a month to go until Angelina is due to give birth, so they don't have much time left if they want to get married first."

Last month, it was claimed Angelina - who has two adopted children, four-year-old Maddox and baby Zahara - was being guarded by lions at the remote lodge.

The actress hoped the wild animals would stop the world's media getting too close.
