Laura Whitmore and Iain Stirling 'engaged' after 'secret holiday proposal'

Love Island presenter Laura Whitmore and Iain Stirling are engaged after he popped the question in South Africa.

Comedian Iain, 32, proposed to the TV host, 34, with a yellow diamond ring he had designed especially for the Irish beauty.

The lovebirds were in South Africa together after filming this year’s Winter Love island, which she hosts and he narrates.

Laura and Iain told their friends and family this month, according to The Sun.

The blonde bombshell sent speculation into overdrive last week when she was spotted wearing a diamond engagement ring while on a jog near her London home.

A friend told the publication: “They couldn’t be happier. We’re thrilled for them.

“He’d obviously thought about it for a while, as he designed the ring and yellow’s her favourite colour.

“Their wedding plans are on hold due to the lockdown but it’s lovely to have a wedding to come.”

Laura couldn’t keep the smile off her face and proudly brandished her jewel-laden hand as she ran around a park near her home amid the UK lockdown on Wednesday.

In the pictures obtained by Mail Online, the huge ring can be seen, consisting of a single diamond with two smaller silver stones.

The dazzling ring is made up of a single yellow diamond surrounded by two smaller jewels.

It comes after just days Laura gushed about beau Iain and said being in lockdown with her partner made her realise how much she likes the Love Island voiceover.

“At the start, I was worried, very worried,” Laura confessed.

“We live together, but we don’t see a lot of each other.

“What I have realised is, is that my dog is a pain in the a**. He just follows me everywhere. Literally everywhere.

“Boyfriend is ok, dog is a little bit of a nightmare,” she joked on Jamie Laing and Francis Boulle’s Private Parts podcast.
