CBeebies star Maddie Moate announces engagement to fellow BBC presenter

CBeebies presenter Maddie Moate has revealed she's engaged.

The TV star, 24, shared her news via Twitter on Thursday with that classic engagement picture of herself flaunting a ring alongside husband-to-be, Greg Foot.

The Do You Know? presenter captioned her post: "The time we got ENGAGED! Yep, whilst we were in Thailand Greg Foot popped the question and of course I said yes.

"It's been an incredible few weeks enjoying our engagement as a couple, but now feels like the right time to spread the word!".

Of course, the update was welcomed by her 13,000 followers.

One responded: "Absolutely delighted for you, massive congratulations!" while another joked: "My (4 year old) son will be devastated!".

Yet, while most of her followers were delighted, some couldn't help but spot the rather unusual-looking ring.

Rather than a traditional diamond, it appeared to be a dull, coloured stone on a thin band. But as Greg popped the question while they were away somewhere exotic, maybe they had shopping plans for their return.

Either way, Greg - who is also a BBC presenter - then followed suit with his own message.

That too had a 'what have we just done?!' expression and holiday backdrop, with children's TV Bafta winner Maddie looking up at her husband-to-be.

That only garnered 62 'likes' in a few hours, which suggests his science-mad followers were less impressed.

He captioned it: "WE GOT ENGAGED in Thailand and didn’t tell anyone for ages (which was wonderful) and decided it’s now time to go public."
