The X-Factor star married her long-term boyfriend of nine years, Marcel Badiane-Robin, in a lavish Moroccan ceremony in the Atlas Mountains on Saturday.
The exclusive wedding ceremony, photographed for Hello! magazine, was attended by several celebrity guests including JLS star JB Gill and Fleur's I’m A Celebrity campmate Harry Redknapp
While the couple have not yet to share any photos of themselves taking their nuptials on their social media pages, Fleur has posted several pictures of her beautiful holiday on Instagram, including a poolside snap of her and her new husband.
The exciting news comes just three months after the 31-year-old singer announced that she was engaged in an exclusive Hello! magazine photo-shoot.
Marcel popped the question while the pair were holidaying in Japan in March.
On her arrival back to the UK, Fleur took to Instagram sharing a picture of her yellow diamond engagement ring to inform her celebrity friends and fans.

She wrote: ‘I’ve literally just landed back in the UK from Japan and I can’t believe that I’m engaged to be a WIFE!!’
‘My boyfriend proposed tome while we were in Tokyo. What a trip to remember!’
She told Hello! magazine: ‘I think every girl grows up thinking of their wedding. I'm a huge fan of love and romance. Marcel always laughs at me, saying I live in Disneyland and that I believe in fairytales!’
Fashion designer Marcel added: ‘There's a big difference between a marriage and a wedding – and you've got to make sure you've met the right person. It's a lot of work. You need a friend as well as a lover; someone who understands you and has the same vision as you. It's a long journey and if you're going to commit, you've got to understand the full picture. And when you meet the right person, you know.’
The gorgeous couple have been together for nine years, and the pair met in 2010 while both working in a nightclub.
Congrats to the happy couple!
