Jake Quickenden is engaged to his girlfriend Sophie Church.
The X Factor star took to Instagram to announce their engagement, blessing fans with a photo as the mum-of-two showed off her diamond ring.
Alongside the idyllic couple shot, the 32-year-old said: ‘SHE SAID YES…. The love of my life the mother to my beautiful Leo and Freddie, I love you so much…
‘This isn’t a drill it’s actually happening.’
Fans and famous friends were beside themselves with the news, flooding the comments with love.
‘Congratulations you two!!! So happy for you both,’ one commented.
‘At last congratulations to you both can’t wait to see you all love you millions xxxx,’ another agreed.
‘Oh how wonderful. Huge congratulations to you both,’ Gaby Roslin celebrated.
Love Island star Eyal Booker penned: ‘Amazing. Huge congrats,’ as Jake’s X Factor co-star Josh Cuthbert added: ‘MATE AMAZING,’ with a string of heart eye emoji.
Jake and Sophie have been together for more than three years, and are first thought to have started dating in June, 2018.
The couple welcomed their first child, little Leo, together in February, with the therapist also mum to son Freddie from a previous relationship.
The Dancing on Ice champion has been preparing to get down on one knee for quite some time, as he teased that a proposal was ‘on the cards’ earlier this year.
Spilling the beans on a possible engagement, he told Entertainment Daily: ‘We’re not engaged yet. I’ll just leave it at that. Very soon. Very soon. I’ll get down on one knee very soon.

‘Obviously it’s on the cards. Usually people are married then they have kids but we’ve done it the other way round.’
However, despite putting a ring on Sophie’s finger, the bride and groom may be waiting a while to walk down the aisle, as Jake wants ‘everything to clear up first’.
Hopefully we get an invite to that big day!
