Jamie Laing's fiancée Sophie Habboo's huge ring seen for first time since proposal

Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo are basking in a love bubble after the Candy Kittens brand owner bent the knee.

And as bride-to-be Sophie, 28, and smitten Jamie, 32, stepped out in London on Sunday it was hard to miss Sophie's new rock - due to the staggering size of the glistening stone.

The snaps captured are the first time that fans have been able to see the ring that the Made in Chelsea star purchased for his betrothed, as when the couple announced their engagement online, on Saturday, Sophie kept her hand hidden.

Proving that Jamie has impeccable taste in jewellery, he presented her with a huge rectangle cut diamond when he asked her to be the future Mrs Laing.

The reality TV couple cut relaxed figures for their stroll with Jamie dressed in an oversized red hooded jumper and Sophie opting for a grey sweater paired with a denim bomber jacket.

Yesterday, Sophie broke the happy news that she was engaged to Jamie.

"WE ARE GETTING MARRIED!!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with you," she penned on Instagram.

She illustrated the caption with several snaps of her and Jamie - who she has been dating since 2019 - embracing whilst sipping on espresso martini cocktails.

Jamie also shared the life update on his Instagram account by writing: "I couldn’t think of anything better than spending the rest of my life with you @habboosophie"

He shared a sweet video of himself and Sophie snuggled up on the sofa as a countdown to the new year could be heard in the background.

The camera then cut to a close-up of Sophie's cap with the words "Mrs Laing-to-be" printed on it.

Jaymes Young song Happiest Year then started playing, with the lyrics: "Thank you for the happiest year of my life".

It seems that Jamie has wanted to pop the question to Sophie for a while.

Last year, during his Strictly Come Dancing stint he said he would propose to his girlfriend live on the show if he made it to the final.

The star finally got to compete in the BBC One dancing competition after an injury forced him to sit out of the 2019 series.

Three years ago, Jamie was replaced by former Emmerdale star Kelvin Fletcher who went on to win the Glitterball Trophy with Jamie's previous dance partner Oti Mabuse.

The following year, Jamie was paired up with professional dancer Karen Hauer but did not get to the final.

Speaking to OK! magazine at the time, he said: "You know what? Maybe I should do that. When I lift the trophy I might propose to her at the same time."

"Honestly, she would be furious if I did it on the Strictly dance floor, on the TV. It would be her worst nightmare.

"So between us, I will propose to her when I win Strictly."
