The singer, who won the 2013 series, has been married to Craig for 10 years, but she has now admitted that things were tense between the couple after the show ended and she was thrown into the spotlight.
In her autobiography 'Daring To Dream', which is currently being serialised in The Daily Mirror, the 37-year-old even claimed that she was not allowed to see her husband on the night she was crowed the winner of the talent show.
She explained: "The hardest thing was not being able to see my family as and when I wanted. Worst of all, even after I'd won the show, I wasn't even allowed to spend the night with Craig.
"He was the one person I wanted to celebrate with more than anyone. He was absolutely livid because he hadn't had a chance to see me and was almost in tears. As soon as I left the stage, I was whisked off to do interviews and Craig was left stranded."
She added that her children were also unable to see her: "Craig was really angry they hadn't got to see me properly. I phoned him and I kept saying to him, 'It's only a week and then I'll be home. Just hang in there'.
"When we did finally get to see each other, X Factor wanted to film our 'emotional reunion' so we couldn't really relax properly.
"The show definitely put pressure on our relationship but things are so much better since. Having that time apart made us appreciate each other more than ever."
Bailey and her husband met in 2002 and married in Las Vegas the following year. They have three children together; Tommy, Brooke and Miley.
