Neither Fleur nor Krum would have said anything to Cedric.  Not
because they were evil or selfish people but because of their
situations in GOF.  Harry was a fellow student of Cedric's, he knew
him before the whole issue of the Tournament came up, he was on home
ground.  Harry knew Cedric as something more than just another
competitor.

Fleur and Krum were come-from-aways (as they say in Newfoundland),
they were living in camps seperated from the Hogwarts students, they
both had very strongwilled and competitive headmaster/mistress who
they identified with very strongly and they were very conscious of
being their schools' champions.  Cedric and Harry were the
Competition, and they knew them only as people to be defeated.  Fleur
and Krum hung out with their own schoolmates and didn't mingle with
Hogwarts students much.

All of these circumstances would discourage any urges to share info
or concerns with Harry or Cedric.
