Fleur East is giving Strictly Come Dancing all the glory for ‘reigniting the spark in her marriage’ with husband Marcel Badiane-Robin.
The Sax hitmaker tied the knot with partner Marcel in 2019 after a three-month engagement.
Hello! reported that around 120 guests, including Fleur’s I’m A Celeb campmates Harry Redknapp and Malique Thompson-Dwyer and former JLS star JB Gill, came together to watch the happy couple exchange vows.
Fleur is currently part of this year’s Strictly and has been wowing the judges and viewers at home with her lively routines, and according to the pop star her stint on the show has done wonders for her marriage.
‘If you want the spark to be reignited in your marriage, then do Strictly,’ she said.
‘When has he ever seen me in a new look every week, moving my hips like that? When do you ever get to do that for your partner? It’s like I’m performing for him every Saturday night,’ she added to the Mirror.

Fleur and Marcel met when they both worked in a nightclub back in 2010, but have largely kept their relationship out of the spotlight.
The former I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! star scored the first 40 of the series as she and professional partner Vito Coppola danced a Couples Choice to a Destiny’s Child megamix.
Before judge Craig Revel Horwood finally whipped out his 10 paddle, Shirley Ballas said it was ‘an iconic routine that will go down in history.’
The judges weren’t the only ones in awe as fans also raved about Fleur’s performance on social media.

One person tweeted: ‘I don’t think people fully appreciate what fleur did with the destiny’s child mix couple choice bc she did deserve that 40, like idk what I was expecting but it was so tight & clean & her – she nailed beyoncé’s moves so well and expertly like a music video.’

Another added: ‘Such a well deserved 40, Fleur left no crumbs! Smashed it.’
Fleur and the Italian dancer were followed by Helen Skelton and her partner Gorka Marquez on the leaderboard, who were 1 point shy of the perfect 40.
Strictly Come Dancing returns tonight at 7.20pm on BBC One.
