The Wanted's Nathan Sykes is ENGAGED after stunning beach proposal

Nathan Sykes has announced he is engaged after a sweet proposal on holiday.

The Wanted star took to Instagram on Thursday to reveal the exciting news that girlfriend Charlotte Burke had said yes when he popped the question in St Lucia.

And he revealed the amazing moment took place on the very beach Charlotte's parents got married on years earlier.

Sharing snaps in the sunset on the stunning location, Nathan and wife-to-be Charlotte beamed as they showed off the dazzling engagement ring in a number of uploads.

The musician captioned the post: "A few nights ago I took @_charlotteburke_ to the same beach in Saint Lucia that her parents got married on many years ago to ask her a certain question and … She Said Yes!!!"

And his bandmates were on hand to quickly dish out the congratulatory messages in the comments section.

Max George wrote: "That's AMAZING!!!!," before following it up with: "Congrats to both of you!!"

Fans of the star also shared their messages of well wishes, with one joking: "NATHAN SYKES I WANT A LOVE SONG RN."

Another added: "Baby Nath is getting married. Tom would be (in his Bolton accent) buzzing for you."

And a third said: "I bet Tom is smiling up there. Happy for you Nathan, you deserve it."

The news comes in what has been a difficult year for the star after bandmate Tom Parker's death in April.

Nathan carried his friend's coffin during an emotional funeral as hundreds of fans lined the streets to say their farewells. He was joined by fellow band members Max George, Siva Kaneswaran and Jay McGuiness.

Nathan spoke out for the first time last month since his pal's death from stage four glioblastoma.

Speaking of the band's last tour, Nathan said: "That whole tour wasn't about music, it was about doing that tour because Tom wanted to do it.

"I think giving him that moment in front of the fans, and for them to see us as a five was, I think was the right thing to do," before explaining that he had several albums ready to go before he got the call to reunite with his bandmates.
