Neil proposed on a romantic trip to Bali, recalling to Hello: "I'd already planned to ask Chyna to marry me before we knew she was pregnant. Then we found out and I was like, 'Oh, this is brilliant, everything is coming together'."

Chyna added: "At first, I thought he was joking because we play jokes on each other all the time. Then Neil was like, 'Chyna, so is it a yes or no?' because a few minutes had passed and he was still on one knee. I was like, 'Yeah!'

"After the baby news, we were on cloud nine – and now this. It still doesn't feel real."

Neil has previously gushed about his now-wife, saying on their one-year anniversary: "You make me smile, laugh, cry and fall in love with you every day but if we could get you to a few more Liverpool matches then life would be complete."

Strictly Come Dancing will return to the BBC later this year.
