Radio 1 presenter is engaged after her skater boyfriend proposed on her 29th birthday

Fearne Cotton is set to walk down the aisle with her skater boyfriend after he proposed on her birthday.

Jesse Jenkins, 24, surprised the Radio 1 presenter with a trip to Richmond Park in London, where he went down on bended knee.

The pro-skater blindfolded his girlfriend before taking her to the park on Friday and asking to marry her.

Cotton is now sporting a sparkly diamond ring on her engagement finger.

'It was a big shock for everyone but Fearne is ecstatic. It was the last thing that she was expecting but she didn't hesitate to say yes,' a friend of the couple told the Sunday People.
