Katie Price claims she's engaged as boyfriend Carl Woods 'pops the question'

Katie Price has shocked fans by revealing she is going to be married again – after boyfriend Carl Woods popped the question.

Taking to Instagram late on Saturday night, 42-year-old Katie shared a video of herself laughing with joy as she accepted the proposal from 31-year-old Love Island star Carl.

And it was a double celebration as Katie and Carl decided to get married at the same time as a couple of their friends.

Uploading the video to Instagram Katie declared: "Omg @carljwoods just proposed to me I said yes same time as @paulisthejoker proposed to @lorscal_phibrows and she said yes."

Grainy footage showed the foursome gathered in a large, and incredibly dark, bar.

As music pulsated overhead, the group laughed and cheered before claiming they had all just become engaged.

A men, who may have been Carl, said: “Hey! Paul, what happened?” before seemingly turning to Katie to ask: “What happened babe?”

A voice, either Katie or her friend Lori Callow, replied excitedly: “He just proposed to me.”

Carl then suggests: “What, did Paul propose to, and then… Did we both propose?”

A voice that sounds like Katie then screams: “I love it!”

She then asked: “What did you ask me, babe?” with Carl saying: “Will you marry me?” and Katie shouting: “And I said yes!”

Carl then addresses friend and comedian Paul Smith: “What did you ask her, mate?”

Paul then said of Lori: “I asked her if she would marry me, and she said yes.”

The group then all cheered.

The announcement caused a shockwave of confusion and disbelief among fans with many asking: "Is this a joke?" in the comments section of Katie's post.

While many others were quick to congratulate the former model, with one writing: "Congratulations Katie. Hope you find pure happiness with him."

Katie has since confirmed it was all part of a practical joke and she's not really engaged.
