Wedding plans
In October, the singer announced her engagement to Eddie, sharing a photo of herself sporting an engagement ring on her finger. Two months later, she looked back on her 2024, writing: “There’s been so many incredible moments and I’m so grateful for every moment.
“Watching my brother get married, turning 30 and getting engaged to my best friend were definitely special! 2025, you have lots in store – roll on wedding planning!”
After entering the public eye on The X Factor and embarking on a music career, Amelia has more recently made a name for herself as a TV personality.
She finished as the runner-up behind Sarah Harding on Celebrity Big Brother in 2017, and was part of the cast for three series of Geordie Shore from 2020.
In 2022, she began hosting a BBC Radio 1 podcast, The Talent Factory: Inside the Music Machine.
