Former X Factor stars tie knot in Scottish ceremony nine years after appearing on show
The couple, who first appeared on The X Factor in 2014, had an intimate wedding ceremony near Glasgow in a special nod to their Scots roots on the big day. Two former X Factor stars have tied the knot in a stunning Scottish celebration, as they said 'I do' at an intimate venue near Glasgow at the weekend. The pair were last seen on the ITV talent show after nearly a decade from being on our screens. Glasgow singer Emily Middlemas featured on X Factor back in 2014 but didn't progress to the live performances. She made a comeback two years on and not only reached the semi-final, but also shared the journey with her partner, Ryan Lawrie. The teen sweethearts had started their romance in 2015, and Emily was left devastated when Ryan, from Coatbridge, was left walking following a sing-off against controversial rapper Honey G. Thankfully, it was only tears of joy on Friday, August 15, as the pair exchanged vows in a ceremony close to Glasgow. Emily, 26, posted a collection of snaps from her special day on Instagram alongside the caption: "Mr & Mrs Lawrie." The singer, who performs under the stage name ili, appeared radiant in a graceful wedding dress featuring a sweetheart neckline. Ryan, who composes tracks for fellow artists and is known as KoolKid, of course sported a kilt in a nod to his roots. One image showed Ryan lifting his bride and dipping her back for a romantic kiss at the altar, whilst another showed the loved-up newlyweds giggling as they snuggled on the lawn in the bright sunshine. The duo were also photographed taking to the dance floor at their reception for their special first dance, surrounded by their loved ones who gathered around. Emily changed into a second outfit so she could truly let loose on the dance floor. She sported a short strapless white dress adorned with pearls, paired with a silver set of Crocs. Following their vows, Ryan shared the wedding photos and an image of their new 'Mr and Mrs' mugs on social media. He penned: "Thank you to everyone who attended our big day & for all your beautiful cards/gifts. It means the world to us. Lots of love." Their marriage follows Ryan's proposal at the Giza Pyramids in Egypt in June 2022, three years before. The couple announced the news on Instagram while on holiday at the Giza Pyramids in Egypt. Emily said in her post: "I SAID YES. Also, dying, the mascara runs." Ryan also shared the pictures on his profile at the time, titling it "SHE SAID YES". Glasgow-based singer Emily shot to fame when she finished in fourth place in the thirteenth series of The X Factor. Ryan is known for writing hits like Microcosmos, for one of the world's biggest bands BTS.

The show followed the mum-of-one as she examined Spain's culinary traditions and incredible food, all while reconnecting with her family history. Eva revealed: 'Eleven generations ago, one of my ancestors left Spain for the new world and new life. Four hundred years later, I'm back to see how the land and its people have created one of the world's most exciting cuisines.' She added: 'If you can preserve your food and your recipes, you can teach the rest of the world who you are. I get to visit long-lost family.' Eva was born in Texas and spent much of her adult life in California, but holds a Spanish citizenship. She recently relocated to Spain with her Mexican husband, producer José Bastón, and their son, Santiago. The actress previously confessed she no longer wanted to live in Los Angeles, describing her move as the end of a chapter in her life. She denied speculation that her decision to leave the US was politically motivated following Trump's re-election as president. Eva said that she moved over three years ago for work-related reasons and now primarily divides her time between Spain and Mexico. Speaking on the Behind the Table podcast, she said: "Will you please let them know I didn't move out of the United States because of Trump? "I've been in Europe for almost three years. That's why I'm in Europe. I didn't leave because of the political environment. I left because my work took me there." She insisted: "I'm a proud American. I've always been a proud American. Proud Texan, proud American. I didn't want it to be taken that I left because of Trump — absolutely not — or because of the elections." Despite moving away from the States, Eva has revealed she hasn't turned her back on Desperate Housewives. There's long been speculation over a potential reboot of the acclaimed ABC show, which celebrated its 20th anniversary last year. Appearing on Watch What Happens Live, Eva admitted the show's future boils down to creator Marc Cherry. Host Andy Cohen asked: "Really? Why he feels like it's complete?" Eva said: "He feels like we've exhausted the characters."
