Exes: Liz was previously engaged to Blue singer Lee Ryan, who recently tied the knot with his long-term girlfriend Verity Paris
Her famous friends rushed to the comments to voice their congratulations to the pop star, but even they seemed surprised at the news.
While Liz has since revealed her partner is called Peter she has not shared any pictures of his face or divulged more details.
Liz was previously engaged to Blue singer Lee Ryan, who recently tied the knot with his long-term girlfriend Verity Paris.
Liz and Lee dated for around two years, and he popped the question in 2003 in a hotel in Oxford.
However they called off their romance shortly after, with Liz sayings she didn’t like dating a fellow celebrity.
Opening up about their decision to end things, Liz told Closer: ‘I’d never date another celebrity again. I was engaged to Lee and I didn’t like having our relationship in the spotlight.’
‘For me, it leads to paranoia. You read things about each other and wonder who said what.
She offered an explanation as to why her current boyfriend’s identity is secret, adding: ‘Dating a celebrity makes your relationship too public and I like to keep my private life private.’
After Lee she had a long-term partner Harlequin’s rugby star, Ryan O’Neill. They were together for two years from 2012 to 2014.

Shortly after the split she said of potential motherhood: ‘I think I’ve been quite strong about not having babies with the wrong people.
‘Some people think I haven’t had the chance but I made a conscious decision not to have children with the people I was with.’
Liz also revealed that she would consider adoption in the future.
‘I’m open to adoption as well as I think it’s amazing. I love the idea that there is a child that needs to be loved and you can give that to them.’
