Christopher Maloney has split from fiancé Gary Doran and cancelled wedding next year
Former X Factor singer has called time on his eight-year relationship
X FACTOR flop Christopher Maloney has split from his fiancé Gary Doran – despite being due to marry next year.
The former CBB contestant jetted off to Egypt with Gary – and travel companion Danniella Westbrook – when he popped the question to his ex-partner in 2015.
But the pair’s relationship has since come crashing down as Chris has called time on their romance and any plans to wed.
The loved-up couple enjoyed a camel ride in the Sinai Desert Oasis before Chris asked Gary for his hand in marriage almost two years ago.
At the time Gary tweeted: “Thanks people. I was shocked, didn’t expect it yesterday but it was the best day of my life.”
A source said: “Chris and Gary are both devastated that it hasn’t worked out between them after eight years together.
“They were solid at the beginning of this year when Chris was in the Celebrity Big Brother house but since then things haven’t been good.
“More details are bound to emerge but for now the wedding is very much off.
“This will bring even more sadness to best pal Danniella who played a big part in Chris’s proposal.”
