Ella Henderson opens up on relationship: 'It's been one of the happiest points in my life'

Ella Henderson says she is happier than ever in her new relationship.

The singer revealed to the Mirror that she has been dating Matt Harvey from her hometown Grimsby since January - and it's been full of joy.

The 'Ghost' star said: "I don't want to jinx anything, but it's been one of the happiest points in my life. He's so supportive of me and it's going great right now. My man and my family are the things that bring something different to my life and keep me grounded.

"This year I wanted to focus on myself and my career, so finding a relationship was unexpected. It's just like this bonus thing that makes me so happy."

Henderson meanwhile recently caught up with Pressparty, with the 18-year-old confirming that she is ready to take on the big time.

When asked if she was worried people might have forgotten about her since leaving the X Factor in 2012, the singer said:

"I think when you come away from it, you do feel a sense of a risk, I guess. You're coming back into it and people might forget about you, but at the same time, when I came off the X Factor I was only 16 and I felt like that was too young of an age to face the music industry.

"The most important thing to me was my music and I had to figure out what do I wanted it to sound like and what kind of artist I wanted to be because if I'm going to do it, I want to do it right. You have to feel ready for it, and now after two years I feel like I've really grown as a person - not just my music, but as a girl into a young woman. Musically and mentally I really feel capable to take on the music industry."
