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.
The loved-up duo have not yet set a date for the wedding, but Cotton has often talked about wanting to get married and have a family.
