Pop beauty Ella Henderson has confirmed that she’s found love in the shape of hunky Olympian swimmer Jack Burnell.
The 24-year-old songstress, who shot to fame as a contestant on The X Factor in 2012, has taken to social media to gush about her new boyfriend.
Jack, 27, should be gearing up to compete at the Olympics in Tokyo this month but the major sporting event has been posted due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Sharing an adorable snap of her and her new lover with her 401,000 followers on Instagram, Ella gushed: “You walked into my life like you already belonged there. I guess the unexpected is usually what brings the unbelievable.”
Clearly feeling the same, James posted the same photograph with his fans alongside the caption: “Finding this one was the ultimate plot twist… you make me forget about yesterday and dream about tomorrow.”

Ella swept her luscious blonde tresses up into a messy ponytail for the romantic snap and finished off her look with some chunky gold hoops and dainty necklaces.
Jack kept things simple in a pair of dark jeans that he teamed with a beige shirt.
He finished off his casual look with some white trainers.
A loved-up Ella responded to Jack’s post with a kissing face emoji and Jack did the same on her post.

A source close to Ella told The Sun: “Ella and Jack have been seeing each other since the beginning of the year.
“Obviously the lockdown meant they had to spend a bit of time apart and they both went back to their family homes.
“That period made them realise how much they like each other and they are really excited to be back in London together.
“It’s obviously been a bit of a difficult time for him with the Olympics being delayed but she has been there for him.”

Ella was a favourite to win the ITV singing show eight years ago but was booted off the show during a shock elimination.
The Ghost hitmaker began releasing her own music two years later and landed the Number One spot with her debut album Chapter One.
After taking a break from the music industry, Ella has stated releasing music again and is now gearing up to put out a new EP full of tracks this summer.
She dated engineer Matt Garvey from her home town of Grimsby for 18 months before their romance came to an end in 2015.
Ella has revealed that new beau Jack has had a positive impact on her life already as he’s got her back into exercise.
She told the publication last month: “I’ve got stuck back into my fitness. I’ve been going on runs.
“I’m kind of putting all the time, energy and focus into myself and not thinking about others or everything going on around me.”
