Former X Factor and The Voice UK contestant Lydia Lucy has tied the knot with her long-term partner Tommy Watson in a special ceremony in a luxury London hotel
Former X Factor and The Voice UK contestant Lydia Lucy has tied the knot with her long-term partner Tommy Watson in a breathtaking ceremony at London’s famed Savoy Hotel.
The 32-year-old singer, who first found fame on reality TV talent shows over a decade ago, delighted fans by sharing glimpses of her big day on Instagram.
Lydia and Tommy could be seen beaming with joy as they posed as husband and wife while surrounded by a spectacular floral display. The singer captioned her post: “The new Mr and Mrs.”
The wedding was met with an outpouring of love from Lydia’s celebrity friends. TOWIE star Chloe Brockett gushed: “Stunning Lydia.” Former I’m A Celebrity winner Scarlett Moffatt added: “So beautiful. Huge congratulations xxx,” while Love Island ’s Chloe Crowhurst chimed in with: “Congratulations beautiful.”
After the ceremony, the couple and their daughter Dottie-May made the most of The Savoy’s five-star spa and fine dining options by enjoying a mini staycation at the hotel.
Dottie-May, who was born in 2021, is especially dear to the couple, as Lydia previously revealed she suffered from a miscarriage the year before her daughter’s arrival.
Lydia’s rise to fame began in 2013 when she auditioned for The X Factor in front of judges Gary Barlow, Nicole Scherzinger, Sharon Osbourne, and Louis Walsh. She wowed the panel with renditions of Jessie J’s Mamma Knows Best and Michael Jackson’s The Way You Make Me Feel, but was ultimately eliminated during the Six Chair Challenge.
Lydia went on to audition for The Voice UK in 2016, joining will.i.am’s team and becoming his last act standing, before eventually finishing in fourth place.
Her powerful performances earned her opportunities to tour with the Black Eyed Peas frontman and even perform with the group in Fergie’s absence.
Now Lydia has a career as a vocalist for private events, and often performs at high-profile weddings and celebrity parties. Lydia has previously spoken about how she uses her stage name to pay tribute to her late sister, Lucy, who died from spina bifida three years before Lydia was born.
During her time on The Voice, she dedicated an emotional performance of I’ll Be There to her sister, with newly written lyrics including: “It’s not fair, I know that you’re there, Watching me guiding me, From the upstairs.”
At the time Lydia shared: “Even though we never met I feel like I know so much about her that we would have been the best of friends. I feel her aura is always around me, willing me to do well.
“I carry a picture of her everywhere, I have a locket of her hair and I’ve watched all the home videos. She’s there in one of them with her little plastic karaoke microphone at Christmas singing Cliff Richard’s Living Doll. She has such a lovely smile.”
She also spoke about how her late sister was the person who named her, explaining: “Lucy picked my name for me when she was seven. When Mum was pregnant with one of my two brothers, Lucy said, ‘I hope you have a girl, mummy, so that I can have a sister and I hope you call her Lydia.’
“So three years after her death, when I was born, Mum made sure that wish was granted. I had the same princess dress Lucy had and loved. Her Wendy house is still in the middle of our garden. We have shared so much without ever meeting.”
