The X Factor star Ella Henderson has announced her engagement to Team GB swimmer Jack Burnell.
The 26-year-old singer, who rose to fame in 2012 on the ITV competition, shared the exciting news to fans with a gorgeous picture beaming with her ring.
‘So this happened 💍☺️… here’s to life with you & all its adventures @jackrexburnell ♥️,’ she wrote.
In another snap, the pair looked as loved up as ever while on a romantic holiday in Mauritius, where Jack popped the question.
Ella, who met Jack in 2020, previously told Metro.co.uk that their love blossomed over lockdown, calling Jack the ‘light’ in her life.
‘Who’d have thought in a pandemic you can grow and form a bond,’ she told Metro.co.uk while chatting about her single with Tom Grennan, Let’s Go Home Together.
‘For me it’s so difficult and so strange that it’s going to be one or the other, it’s either gonna bring you closer together or it’s going to draw you absolutely miles apart and I’m fortunate enough to say mine is the first one.’

She added: ‘He’s my best mate and I think it’s great because of what he does and what I do as a career, we understand one another because from such a young age we’ve made sacrifices in our own arenas.
‘He’s an athlete so he gets it from that perspective and I’m music so we both relate to one another but not too much, we don’t ever clash because if I had someone who constantly wanted to talk about music I think I’d go crazy.’
