And it seems Mr Cowell just doesn’t make the cut.

However, she is hoping some of the X Factor family will play a part in her wedding.

She said: “I’ve got a little bit of a wish list,” adding that she’d love James Arthur to perform. He’s just got that wedding song, Say You Won’t Let Go. I’ll see if he’s free for me.”

Revealing that she would like to get married this year, Fleur added that the wedding would be overseas because she just loves “the sunshine and it’s too cold here”.

The singer added that her wedding dress would be “a bit unusual”.

Last month, the singer announced she was engaged.

Announcing the happy news by posing for a photoshoot for Hello! Magazine, Fleur showed off her huge sparkler.

She wrote on Instagram: “I’ve literally just landed back in the UK from Japan and I can’t believe I can say that I’m engaged to be a WIFE!!

“My boyfriend Marcel proposed to me while we were in Tokyo. What a trip to remember!

“And you can meet the man that I somehow convinced to want to spend the rest of his life with me! So happy to share this news.”
