As she revealed their engagement last month, Lucy, who showed off her singing prowess on the popular talent show in 2012, uploaded numerous photos seemingly taken during a special shoot and reflected on the phrase "when you know, you know."

Adding to this sentiment, she said: "'That's a phrase I really thought I understood throughout my life, that I believed I had a full appreciation of but... It wasn't until I fell in love with my friend of 10 years that I truly felt it." reports OK!.

The pair publicly acknowledged their surprising yet blissful relationship back in January 2024, posting about their transformed bond on their respective online platforms.

Discussing her deep-rooted love and admiration for Emilia, Lucy hasn't shied away from opening up on social media, acknowledging the moment she realised her feelings for Emilia had transcended those of friendship.

She gave a shoutout to "@emiliakate_, who has quite literally been there all along."

"Em, that spent hours on the phone with me on my darkest days, who always sent a card in the post to cheer me on, who sent me 48 Tunnocks Tea Cakes when I'd run out whilst writing my book knowing full well they were the emotional support food getting me through the edit.

"Em, who spoke the same language as me. Who felt feelings to the same kind of depths that I've always felt them. Who I always understood, like really understood, and who always understood me.

"The person I'd go on long walks with and spend whole days at the spa with, talking about everything and anything. Who I always felt completely seen and heard by."

She added: "I am so thankful that the universe gave me you, Emilia. I was immensely thankful when you were just my friend and I cannot begin to describe the gratitude I have to experience your love in a different way.

"Every single part of life has had to happen in order to be standing right beside you now and I honestly would not live any other kind of alternative even if I could. People say 'I don't know what I did to deserve you' but I've told you before, I think everything I've ever done has lead me to you. You were the prize.

"All the hard work and all the survival got us both to where we were supposed to be: thriving beside each other. You are without doubt the hottest, most cool, talented, hardworking, kind and spiritual soul I've ever come across and it is the world's greatest privilege to be with you.

"I hope you know how much I've always admired you. I can't wait to start life as a team. I can't think of a better way to start a marriage than 10 years of friendship first. I really do know now. Let's go, girl."
