The fashion designer, 29, proposed to the Scottish model during a trip to Gothenburg, Sweden this weekend to mark their four year anniversary.

The reality star shared the happy news with his Instagram followers on Sunday night, posting a selfie of the loved up couple and a first glimpse of the enormous engagement ring.

“SHE SAID YES!!! SHE IS MAKING AN HONEST MAN OF ME. GREATEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE. #opxec #engaged #4yearanniversary,” he wrote.

Connolly shared the same snap as well as one of her having split her trousers in all the excitement.

“And then I said yes. and split my jeans from excitement. @proudlock,” she wrote on Twitter.

Just a few hours before popping the question, Proudlock posted an emotional Twitter tribute to his girlfriend as they approached the milestone.

“To the best 4 years of my life, and to many more to come. Love you more than I could ever comprehend,” he wrote on Twitter.

Proudlock’s best friend and co-star Jamie Laing said that he was one of the last to find out the happy news after screening his calls on Sunday.

Speaking on Monday’s Lorriane, he said: “I got a call last night from, a FaceTime, from him at 10pm. I kept cancelling it, I was like, ‘Why are you ringing me?’

“Then I found out this morning that he just got engaged! It’s amazing! They’re a beautiful couple, they’re such a cool, fun couple.”

The announcement comes just a couple of weeks after Proudlock’s former Made in Chelsea co-stars Millie Mackintosh and Hugo Taylor tied the knot.
