X Factor star marries long term partner in lavish ceremony at The Savoy
The singer, who took part in the 2013 series, tied the knot last week during a lavish ceremony at The Savoy in London.
Lydia looked incredible in a traditional A-line gown with lace sleeves and a dramatic veil.
Announcing their happy news to Instagram, she shared a photo from their big day and wrote: 'The new Mr & Mrs.'
Sharing their well wishes in the comments section, TOWIE 's Chloe Brockett wrote: 'Stunning Lydia,' while Scarlett Moffatt added: 'So beautiful. Huge congratulations.'
Lydia and her husband Tommy share one daughter, Dottie- May, who they welcomed in 2021.
Essex girl Lucy attempted to find music stardom on Simon Cowell's reality TV juggernaut The X Factor in 2013.
During the series the ITV hit premiered its Bootcamp elimination process, the six chair challenge.
Lucy was one of the first victims of the twist on musical chairs - she lost her seat and missed out on a place in the Judges' Houses round.
She went on to star on The Voice UK in 2016, where she placed in fourth, behind Jolan, Cody Frost and winner Kevin Simm.
After coming third on the programme - she was dubbed the 'new Fergie' when she performed alongside her mentor will.i.am at the Royal Albert Hall in 2016.
Speaking to Daily Mail outside the venue before she took to the stage, Lydia beamed: 'I'm so excited for tonight. It'll be an amazing show.
'You know what, I grew up listening to the [The Black Eyes] Peas. This is just so surreal for me to be here and be performing with Will. He's a legend.'
And she took like a pro to her childhood dreams as she performed alongside Will, rapper Taboo and Apl.de.ap.
No stranger to the limelight, she also appeared on cult reality show The Only Way Is Essex the following year, after being romantically linked to Ricky Rayment.
Yet despite pursuing her dreams to become a singer, Lydia later admitted that she has found fame hard to cope with, exclusively telling Daily Mail about the vile trolls who sent her death threats.
After being linked to the break-up between TOWIE's Ricky and Jessica Wright, the star received a barrage of abuse on Twitter, with some even sending her death threats.
'I was quite upset at the time but I think you're going to get [targeted by] Twitter trolls with everything that you do so you've got to take it with a pinch of salt,' she said.
'Music is my life so I've got to take the good with the bad.'
Clearing up the rumours that she sent Ricky flirtatious text messages whilst he was dating Jessica, she explained: 'It was nothing to do with me, it wasn't my fault. I was just accidentally brought into it...
'I've not seen any of them since. I've only ever met Ricky twice any way so this is the funny thing about it. There was literally nothing going on.'

Car pool chaos as rock 'n' Rolls-Royce recreates The Who's swimming stunt
Readers with any mechanical sympathies may want to look away now, after a £500,000 Rolls-Royce Phantom ended up in the Tinside Lido swimming pool in Plymouth. However, this wasn't the climax of a drunken billionaire's wild night out. In fact, it was actually Rolls-Royce itself which deposited the six-metre long Phantom Extended – a retired prototype destined for recycling – in the pool. The stunt is part of the British marque's ongoing celebrations for the Phantom's 100th birthday, and a tribute to the car's role in music history over the past century – specifically, the debauchery and excess of rock 'n' roll. Advertisement - Article continues below The company was inspired by the antics of Keith Moon, the immensely talented and famously destructive drummer for sixties Mod legends The Who. The story goes that during his 21st birthday party, 'Moon the Loon', as he was known, drove a Rolls-Royce into the swimming pool of The Holiday Inn in Flint, Michigan. Accounts of the night vary wildly, and it's possible no car went for a swim, but nevertheless the story has become the stuff of legend. Moon died in 1978, but 23 August 2025 would have been his 79th birthday, so now at least one Rolls-Royce has definitely ended up wet because of him. Skip advert Advertisement - Article continues below If you fancy driving your very own Rolls-Royce into a swimming pool, then check out the Auto Express Find a Car service where you can find loads of great deals on used Rolls-Royce models . Rolls-Royce used the Tinside Lido not because it was the only place that would shut down its pool on a hot summer day, but because it was apparently part of the backdrop in a photograph of The Beatles taken in September 1967, when the Fab Four visited while filming for The Magical Mystery Tour. John Lennon was, of course, one of the Phantom's most famous owners, and in 1972 he unveiled his psychedelic yellow Phantom V. Countless other music legends have played a role in the car's history, including Duke Ellington, Fred Astaire, Count Basie, Elvis Presley, Sir Elton John and Snoop Dogg. Today, Rolls-Royce is mentioned in rap and hip hop songs more than any other car brand. 'From the Golden Age of Hollywood to the rise of hip-hop, over the last 100 years, music artists have used Phantom to project their identity and challenge convention,' said Chris Brownridge, CEO of Rolls-Royce. 'Their motor cars often became icons in their own right, with a lasting place in the history of modern music. 'This enduring connection reminds us that Rolls-Royce and the extraordinary people who are part of the marque's story are united by one ambition: to make their presence felt.'

I'm A Celebrity bosses 'are lining up Emmerdale star Lisa Riley as the first star to enter the famous jungle for the new series'
Emmerdale star Lisa Riley is reportedly being lined up as the first star to take part in this year's I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! The actress, 49, has played Mandy Dingle on the legendary soap for 30 years, making a bombshell return to the village six years ago. Now, sources are claiming that Lisa is in advanced talks with bosses to move into the Australia jungle when the show returns in November. The soap star has made it no secret that she is a fan of the show, meaning she could follow in the footsteps of many Dales favourites such as Danny Miller, Gemma Atkinson and Adam Thomas by taking part in the show. A source told The Sun: 'Lisa is the perfect celebrity for the show because not only is she from a soap watched by millions she's one of its biggest characters and it's an ITV show to boot. 'She also has a naughty, mischievous sense of humour which is guaranteed to get a big response from her other celebrity campmates during their time in the jungle. 'Lisa is by no means the first star from Emmerdale to have gone on I'm a Celebrity and those that do always tend to get a great response from viewers at home.' Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Lisa Riley and I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! for comment.. Lisa, who turns 50 next year, previously shared her hopes of taking part in the show, saying: 'I'm A Celebrity... is something I would do before I turned 50 as a test for myself.' Last year's series saw McFly's Danny Jones crowned series champion, beating a star-studded lineup that included Coleen Rooney, Maura Higgins, GK Barry and Reverend Richard Coles. However, the married singer has since courted controversy, as in March he was filmed sharing a drunken kiss with his campmate Maura. Lisa first joined the cast of Emmerdale as Mandy Dingle in 1995, but left the soap six years later. She went onto land a string of other roles including Fat Friends and Waterloo Road, and in 2013 she competed on Strictly Come Dancing. 18 years after her soap exit, Lisa returned to Emmerdale, admitting that after being asked about reprising her role for years by fans, she finally realised she never had a reason not to return. She said: 'I'm the type of person that must have an answer, I can't leave anything open ended. 'I was working for Strictly in doing a Q and A and there were 4,000 people asking me when I was going back to Emmerdale. But I've had that since the day I left.' Earlier this month, it was reported that ITV were planning to keep I'm A Celebrity on screens for the next five years, bringing the show up to a landmark 30th series. Sources claimed ITV have opened talks with Australian bosses to secure the area of jungle where they film until 2030.
