Fleur East plots Niall Horan collaboration as she prepares for lockdown anniversary

Newlywed Fleur East reckons lockdown has been “like a second honeymoon” as she plots a collaboration with Niall Horan.

The former X Factor star, 32, has been holed up with husband Marcel Badiane-Robin who she tied the knot with in June last year.

She said: "I've heard a lot of couples are getting divorced or arguing. For me it has been the opposite - it has given us so much time together.

"We get to wake up together and go to sleep together, normally we are so busy.

"So this is our special time, it feels like an extended honeymoon."

The lovebirds wed in Morocco in front of Fleur's I'm A Celebrity campmate Harry Redknapp and JLS star JB Gill.

X Factor runner-up Fleur, who is fronting zumba.com 's partnership with Global Foodbanking Network with live workout, has also been writing new music and plans to hit up ex- One Directioner Niall Horan for a collaboration.

She said: "I really thought Niall's album was amazing. He has always given me advice on my music.

"When I came out of the jungle he messaged me and said he wanted to hear my songs. I really appreciated that because I think he is great.

"So in terms of collaborations, working with him would be really great. I am going to use this time and take the initiative to message him."

She is also fronting online Zumba classes and admits at the start of lockdown she "fell off the wagon" with fitness.

She adds: "I felt out of sorts and felt I was letting myself go. I'm on top of it now. I don't want to come out of lockdown and not feel myself."
