Strictly Come Dancing professional AJ Pritchard has shared the moment he proposed to fiancée Zara Zoffany.
The dancer - who recently opened up on his brother Curtis Pritchard's appearance on Love Island: All Stars - confirmed the news via a sweet video where he proposed after asking Zara to dance.
Posted to Instagram, the video saw the couple practicing a dance in front of a camera, which was a ruse set up by AJ. After multiple takes of the dance, AJ surprised Zara by pulling a ring box from his pocket and getting down on one knee."You're lying, you're lying," she said multiple times, stunned by the sudden proposal. "What's going on?" she continuously asked.

AJ's inconspicuous proposal left his fiancée speechless and, even after agreeing to marry him, she tearily asked what was going on. The hilarious video saw Zara struggling to come to terms with the situation, as AJ placed the ring on her finger.
