Inside Fleur East’s romantic Moroccan honeymoon with stunning mountain views and quad bike rides
FLEUR East enjoyed a romantic honeymoon with new husband Marcel Badiane-Robin in the Atlas Mountains of Morroco.
The couple held their intimate wedding in the North African country on Saturday 8 June and hosted around 120 guests.
The star-studded ceremony was attended by the Harry Redknapp, ex-JLS star JB Gill, reality TV star Vas J Morgan and TV presenter AJ Odudu.
And the X Factor star, 31, continued the celebrations with her new husband, as they relaxed into married life in Morocco.
Posting a snap on her Instagram, the newlyweds posed by the pool in front of the stunning mountain backdrop.
And fans couldn't get enough as they immediately began commenting on the picture perfect couple.
"Congratulations," commented one.
While another added: "Wow that’s an amazing photo xxxx"
But the photos didn't stop there, as Fleur served up a variety of different looks for her fans.
In one snap, the star can be seen showing off her toned figure in a red bikini, while another sees her looking elegant as she sits in the hotel's outside seating area wearing a red fedora hat, as well as another of her in traditional Morrocan clothing.
She explained to her followers: "Met a guy in Marrakech who hooked me up with the local swag. I got fully immersed in the experience and embraced it all. Can’t wait for my next adventure. Where should I go next? x"
Fleur didn't officially announce her marriage until she returned to the UK, as she shared a photo from her wedding photoshoot.
"Back from Morocco and over the moon to announce that I am officially a Mrs!" she revealed.
"I married my best friend of 9 years and in our 10th year we became Husband and Wife. It was hand on heart the happiest and most special day of my life! Shared with all of our favourite people and it couldn’t have been more perfect.
"I’ve never cried and smiled so much in equal measure."
Before adding: "I’ve literally never smiled so much in my life and I didn’t think that was possible! It was the most magical day ever!!"
Fleur later shared some more photos from her exotic honeymonn, as she explored Morroco, enjoyed the stunning beach views and got behind the wheel of an old fashioned pink bike for more adventuring.
But the genuine star ensured that she was 'keeping it real' as she gave her fans a glimpse at Instagram vs reality clip which saw her friend splash her with water for a sexy poolside snap.
She wrote: "Instagram Vs Reality! **SWIPE LEFT for the reality of what we do for the gram! Shout out to for the water splashing duties!
"Guys, with social media what you see is not always what you get. So take it with a pinch of salt and have a laugh with it. It doesn’t have to be that serious if you don’t make it. It’s just a cool way to connect. So keep smiling while you’re scrolling! Peace."
The star, who was engaged for three months before tying the knot to her boyfriend of nine years, looked stunning in a strapless gown with a beaded bodice and sweetheart neckline by J'Aton Couture for her big day.
Speaking about her fairytale wedding she told Hello!: "It was the best day of my life, filled with so much love. A dream."
She even got priceless advice from Harry, who won the heart of the nation with his devotion to Sandra on the show last year.
Fleur told the magazine: "He said to be mates. That's the main thing, that you're friends."
