I'm a Celebrity star and TV presenter Myleene Klass has announced her engagement to businessman Simon Motson.

The couple – who have a 1-year-old son together, as well as four children between them from previous relationships – recounted the romantic story in an interview with Hello!.

Simon had it all planned out, and popped the question on the fifth anniversary of their first date – even replicating certain details from that first night they spent together.

He transformed their garden shed into a replica of a bar they'd gone to on that same date, even borrowing the tables and chairs from London's Little House to recreate the night.

"I was absolutely blown away," Myleene said. "He even replicated the dinner we had – burger and fries, followed by cherry pie. When he got down on one knee and started fumbling around under the table, I thought he was joking.

"Then I thought, 'Oh my God, he's for real.' I was completely speechless."

Simon also spoke of how much the proposal meant to their children, who all wanted a hand in how the big moment went down.

"We announced it to them over dinner and they wanted to see the proposal, so I had to do it again. They all started crying and gave us a massive hug – it was very emotional," he said.

"First and foremost I did this for us but I didn't realise quite how much of a big deal it was for them. They've obviously been talking about it amongst themselves much more than we realised."
