The Great British Bake Off star, 56, has been dating the pub landlady, 38, for more than three years ago.

Previously, the Channel 4 star was married to his ex-wife Alexandra for more than 19 years but decided to go their separate ways back in 2017 following cheating allegations.

Sources close to The Sun revealed that silver fox popped the question a few months ago but earlier this month the duo decided to go public about their engagement.

The insider explained: “Paul proposed some months ago, but they have been keeping it very quiet since then.

“It’s only in the past month that she has begun wearing her engagement ring out in public, and sharing their news with friends.

“There are no wedding plans in place yet,” they clarified.

Sources have since suggested that Paul asked Melissa to be his wife over Easter earlier this year, but the brunette beauty has only started wearing her glistening engagement ring publicly over the last few weeks.

Last year, it was revealed that Paul was living with his new girlfriend in a countryside home the baker purchased with his former lover, Summer years earlier.

Melissa moved into his 18th Century farmhouse after the owner of The Chequers Inn in Smarden, Kent, where she was living, put the property up for sale.

Friends close to the showbiz couple previously spoke about how the happy couple are “madly in love” with each other.

One pal said: “Paul and Melissa spent a lot of time together in lockdown. They bubbled up together and stayed at his house.

“Now she is there for good. They are delightfully happy, though it must be a bit strange given it was bought for Summer.”
