Among the 120 guests there were a number of famous faces including her campmates Harry Redknapp and Malique Thompson-Dwyer and  ex-JLS star JB Gill.

Fleur and Marcel announced their engagement just three months ago on holiday in Japan.

The former X Factor star was surprised with a yellow diamond ring by her long-term partner of nine years following a successful stint in the jungle.

She told : "I think every girl grows up thinking of their wedding. I'm a huge fan of love and romance.

"Marcel always laughs at me, saying I live in Disneyland and that I believe in fairytales!"

Marcel added: "There's a big difference between a marriage and a wedding – and you've got to make sure you've met the right person.

"It's a lot of work. You need a friend as well as a lover; someone who understands you and has the same vision as you.

"It's a long journey and if you're going to commit, you've got to understand the full picture. And when you meet the right person, you know."

Fleur initially kept her relationship with Frenchman Marcel quiet.

Back in 2016 the loved-up pair had secret meetings at the flat they shared in London in between Fleur’s X Factor rehearsals.

Announcing her engagement three months ago, Fleur told fans: "I’ve literally just landed back in the UK from Japan and I can’t believe I can say that I’m engaged to be a WIFE!!

"My boyfriend Marcel proposed to me while we were in Tokyo. What a trip to remember!"
