Lucy Spraggan is engaged! Former X Factor star confirms she will marry her partner Emilia Smith after ten-year friendship: 'I am so thankful that the universe gave me you'


The X Factor star, 32, who was a contestant on the talent show in 2012, took to Instagram on Sunday to share the happy news in a post gushing about her bride-to-be.

'Em, that spent hours on the phone with me on my darkest days, who always sent a card in the post to cheer me on, who sent me 48 Tunnocks Tea Cakes when I'd run out whilst writing my book knowing full well they were the emotional support food getting me through the edit. The assault happened after fellow contestant Rylan Clark's 25th birthday party, where staff and singers were given 'free alcohol' - ultimately leading to Lucy falling unconscious in her hotel room. The brutal attack left her unable to continue the show due to strong side effects of Pep medication - a drug given to her by doctors which can prevent someone contracting HIV.
