Katie Piper has got engaged to her long term partner.
The TV presenter took to Twitter on Saturday morning to share the happy news with her followers.
"So excited to tell you all.............. I became someone's fiancé last night! I'm engaged to be married :)," she tweeted.
From her Instagram account, it looks as though James got down on one knee at the couple's home, after cooking her a delicious dinner of baked cod with capers.
The blonde beauty shared two snaps from her evening. The first showed her at the dining table in her favourite dress, the second was a snap shot of her dins.
"Pretending we are going out for dinner! Cooking 3 course meal, dressed in our best clothes- all taking place at our kitchen table! Parents night in/out #nobabysitterneeded," she captioned the first snap.
Katie and carpenter James welcomed their first child, Belle, earlier this year after dating for two years.
Speaking about her relationship earlier this year, Katie said: “Before I met James, there were times I didn’t cope well. Because I’d accepted the way I looked , it was a knockback when the rest of the world wasn’t as accepting. When I was ready to start dating, it didn’t go well.
“I wanted an adult relationship but people were coming up to me in bars, patting me on the head and telling me I was brave or sweet. Once a guy asked for my number and I thought he liked me but he wanted me to open his village fete.
“As a woman approaching her 30s, all I wanted was someone to take me out for a drink but I felt asexual. When guys didn’t text back, I had to keep reminding myself he might not have fancied me because I was boring – I couldn’t always bring it back to being burnt.”
Katie added: “He’s a normal guy with a normal job, quite private and that’s what I liked about him. He hasn’t read the new book. I made him read the first one and he got angry. I suppose he feels protective over me but he can’t change the past.”
Katie said she knew very early on that this was the real deal – because he was completely comfortable with her medical issues while recovering from an op at the start of their relationship.
That showed her she could trust him and from then on, she didn’t worry about her injuries around him – and she stopped hiding away pictures of herself in the attack’s aftermath.
“You’d never normally talk about medical problems after dating for six weeks,” she said. “But I’d had a nose operation which left a hole with pus and snot dripping out.
“On top of that, they’d taken cartilage out of my rib so I had a tube draining out body fluid. And because I couldn’t put weight on that side I bought this pink, flowery, flick-out waking stick from Robert Dyas.
“All this at the stage where you’re supposed to be wearing matching underwear in case things go further.
“But honestly, he did not care. So after it all healed, I was like, ‘Wow, this guy is definitely not shallow’.
“I knew right then I could let myself fall in love with him because he would never hurt me intentionally.
“When he first came to the flat, I hid pictures of me with my mask on with my family and my doctor, which made me feel like a fraud. I didn’t want to put him off, then I realised it was OK to be me.”
Seven months ago, Katie’s dream was completed when she gave birth to their daughter. And the pair have strong ideas about how to bring her up to be accepting and open-minded – such as involving her in the Katie Piper Foundation .
“We’ve talked a lot about what it’s going to be like for Belle growing up and there’s all kinds of different factors to consider. I wonder if we’re over-talking it,” Katie said.
