Ferne McCann has revealed how grateful she is that her film crew caught the moment her fiancé popped the question on camera.
The mum-of-one has told fans how she "cannot wait to relive [the] moment" on screen and admitted she laughed and cried simultaneously during the proposal over the weekend.
The former TOWIE star, 31, announced her engagement to Lorri Haines on Sunday, after the 30-year-old Dubai-based real estate agent got down on one knee and asked her to be his wife during a trip to France.
"So happily ever afters do exist," Ferne gushed on Instagram as she shared the news to her 2.9million followers.
The reality TV star went public with Lorri earlier this year and recently revealed she is sharing her Essex home with the dad-of-one.
Shortly after revealing her beau had asked for her hand in marriage on Sunday, Ferne divulged some more details about the proposal in a follow-up Instagram post.
"Captured on the opal coast after my boyfriend now fiancé proposed," the star captioned a snap of herself posing in France with her new diamond ring.
"Feels so surreal calling @lozzahaines my fiancé. Also I loved this photo so so much but couldn’t disguise or do a little smooth on the ol’ microphone pack," she continued, noting how she had a microphone fitted on her lower back during the romantic moment.
She continued: "Tbh I am so super super grateful my film crew were there to capture this special moment forever [camera emoji]. I cannot wait to relive this moment where I laughed and cried SO HARD all at the same time.
"Thankyou @lozzahaines for making me so blissfully happy. Right now time to celebrate. I am someone’s frigging fiancé."
"You deserve your happy ever after more than anyone," one fan told the star as she shared her joy online, with another adding: "You deserve it more than most ... but least now after all those frogs you've finally found your Prince."
Ferne has previously been unlucky in love, after the father of her daughter Sunday, 3, was sentenced to prison for 20 years after an acid attack in 2017.
However, the mum-of-one has been loved up and happy since meeting Lorri on holiday in Dubai last year - with the businessman even meeting and forming an "organic" bond with her daughter.
Speaking in an interview earlier this year, Ferne explained how Sunday meeting her new man was a "natural" process and there wasn't a specific moment where she introduced the young child to "Mummy's boyfriend".
"She’s quite bossy with him, but he’s used to it. He’s a parent himself and he’s patient with her and she likes him," she told OK! magazine in May.
The former I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! star also predicted a proposal was imminent just weeks before Lorri popped the question.
"[Marriage and kids] is definitely something we talk about all the time. Lorri’s the first person I can see having a future with, so those things often come up. And with one of my best friends Danielle [Armstrong] getting married this year – it’s happening all around us," she confessed in the same interview.
"Who doesn’t dream of their happily ever after and getting married? Now I’m with him, I can properly live it and imagine that it is going to happen. It’s not just a dream – I feel like it is going to happen."
