X Factor star Ben Haenow, who won the competition in 2014, has married his long-term girlfriend Jessica Jones in an intimate ceremony in Northern Italy.

‘We had a small ceremony of closest friends and family,’ Ben told MailOnline, revealing his ‘Nonna’ was on hand to translate the service for non-Italian speaking guests. ‘I arrived nervous and excited for the biggest day of my life and left with the wife of my dreams after a fairytale wedding.’

‘Words can’t describe how beautiful Jess looked on the day. I cried so many tears of joy, I needed a snorkel.’

By Ben’s own admission, during the 2014 X-Factor the relationship struggled under the pressure of the competition.

Speaking at the time, he said: ‘I was really bad at keeping in contact with Jess. I was a typical guy. I was in a bubble and she understandably felt neglected.’

‘We had to have talks about how whether it was going to work between us because it wasn’t fair on her if I was always going to be travelling and never able to see her.’

However, it seems as though they now haven’t a care in the world as they enjoy their enviably romantic honeymoon.

Taking in Instagram, Ben shared a picture of the stunning coastal views from their resort, captioning the image, ‘Terrible views from the balcony. however me and my wife shall make do ??? #lovingLife #LovingWife #minimoon.’

Fans have rushed to congratulate the pair on their marriage, with one writing: ‘A fantastic couple you deserve many happy years together’, and a second agreeing: ‘Yay you got married!? My nan and I wish you both the best for your future, enjoy the mini moon! ? X’
