Rufus Hound is engaged after his impromptu proposal to his EastEnders star girlfriend Sally Hodgkiss mid-performance on stage.
The TV comedian announced the news on X, formally Twitter, as the former Celebrity Juice star shared sweet snaps of his fiancée.
"In the past two years @sallyhodgkiss has redefined how completely loved or seen I ever believed someone could make me feel," the 45-year-old penned.

"We talk and nourish each other in a way that's almost unbelievable to me. Last night, I asked her to marry me."
Detailing the moment, he added: "We were privileged enough to take part in @theimprovathon @WiltonMusicHall
"A show in which brilliant, erudite, playful, thoughtful, beautiful, sleep deprived people spoke repeatedly of love, commitment, joy and demonstrated the awesome magic that comes when such people do so."

Rufus added: "Sally walked down for her final bow. As she spoke – a poetic, magnificent final flourish – the universe seemed to scream at me that the time – bizarre as it might be- had come. As the crowd applauded her, I took to the stage beside her.
"Wordlessly, I mimed that I was unlikely to be able to speak, as I was totally overwhelmed."
He got down on one knee, shocking the audience given their on-stage sibling characters, explaining: "It was only when I spoke her name she realised what was happening.

"She said yes. My kids are f**king delighted, my ex congratulated me on the news, my parents are besides themselves and my best friend Steve contacted a special Wedding Robot for validation."
He concluded: "Anyway, as foolhardy as it feels attempting to be giddily happy in public is (without it being because migrant boats are being sunk or kid refugee centres have had the murals removed) I am.
"We are. Everything is better with her. She's magic. And soon, I'll be her husband."
