Congratulations are in order for former Strictly star AJ Odudu, who has confirmed that she is engaged.
The 37-year-old TV star made the announcement on Monday, sharing a string of celebratory snapshots on Instagram featuring her fiancé.
A montage of black-and-white images showed the pair looking seriously loved-up, another showed AJ proudly showing off her stunning engagement ring, and a third and final picture showed the couple sharing a romantic kiss.
In her caption, AJ simply penned, "Hiya love", followed by the heart, ring and teary emojis.
The news came as a surprise to fans, seeing as AJ's post was the first time that she'd publicly confirmed her relationship status. While AJ opted to share pictures of her beau, she kept his identity hidden by not revealing his name.
Fans and friends immediately flooded the comments section with messages of congratulations. One wrote: "Amazing!!! Congratulations", while a second noted: "THRILLED FOR YOU BOTH", and a third added: "That's brilliant news. Congratulations to you both".

The pair instantly hit it off, prompting fans to speculate as to whether a possible romance was on the cards.

The cast formulated such genuine bonds outside of the show."
