According to the outlet, the proposal saw Rory get down on one knee in front of Mel - who has three children from previous relationships - with a £100,000 diamond ring.
The source said Mel is "thrilled" with the champagne-coloured ring, which is said to have been encrusted with smaller diamonds that were set on a rose gold band.

The source described Rory as a "down-to-earth guy" who isn't interested in the limelight. They added that he has worked "incredibly hard" to build his own business.
