  Hi there.

  You cannot register a .co.uk domain directly with WordPress.com, no, but if you register it with a different registrar you can then buy the domain mapping upgrade to connect it to your WordPress.com site. Keep in mind that in this case you’ll have to pay 123-reg for the domain each year, and WordPress.com for the mapping each year. See here for instructions on domain mapping: http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/
