Ant McPartlin's fiancee Anne-Marie shows off massive engagement ring for first time

Ant McPartlin 's new fiancee Anne-Marie has shown off her massive engagement ring for the first time.

The telly favourite, 45, popped the question on Christmas Eve and now his former PA has given fans their first glimpse at the diamond sparkler he gave her.

The couple headed out for a walk in West London with their dogs, Milo and Bumble, and Ant's beloved Labrador Hurley, who he shares with ex Lisa Armstrong.

Anne-Marie, 43, was seen flashing the huge rock on her left hand which is rumoured to be worth around £200,000.

Ant is said to have designed the eye-catching sparkler himself before presenting it to his girlfriend on Christmas Eve.

Anne-Marie couldn't hide her happiness - beaming as she linked arms with Ant and held the two maltipoos on their leads.

They both wrapped up warm in padded jackets, and Ant was seen gazing adoringly at his new fiancee.

A spokesman confirmed the engagement last month, telling us: "Ant and Amzie are delighted to announce their engagement.

"The proposal took place on Christmas Eve at home in a very romantic setting."

A friend told The Sun : "Ant has been planning this for some time - but wanted to make sure the moment was just right.

"2020 has been a pretty torrid year for everybody, and this is the happy news that all their friends and family have been waiting for.

"Both Amzie and Ant adore Christmas, and get really into it every year, so Ant decided to pop the question on Christmas Eve.

"He's a traditionalist, so got down on one knee after first checking with Anne Marie's family that he had their blessing. It was super-romantic, and obviously Anne-Marie said 'yes' straight away."

Ant and Anne-Marie have been dating for around three years, and he's previously credited her with helping him through his personal struggles.

It will be Ant's second time down the aisle after previously being married to Lisa for 11 years.

They split in January 2018 after 23 years together.
