Who is Fleur East married to?
Fleur has been with her husband Marcel for 13 years. They met in a bar in 2009 and started dating after reconnecting in 2010.
Marcel is a fashion designer who works with stars such as Rita Ora and Jason Derulo.
He and Fleur were together for nine years before he proposed when they were in a hotel room in 2019. They married the same year in Morocco.
Fleur was a finalist on The X Factor in 2014, having been mentored by Simon Cowell. She came second to Ben Haenow, but was arguably more famous following her cover of Bruno Mars’ hit Uptown Funk. After releasing her own hit song, Sax, she then had a successful album.
She went into I’m A Celebrity in 2018 and came fourth. The winner that year was Harry Redknapp.
Fleur was a contestant in the 2022 series of Strictly Come Dancing and was then named host of the spin off show It Takes Two in 2023 alongside Janette Manrara following the departure of Rylan Clark.
