Myleene Klass and Simon Motson's friends congratulate couple on their engagement

Myleene Klass has revealed her engagement to her partner Simon Motson.

The I’m a Celebrity star and former Hear’Say member announced the news with a Hello magazine cover, revealing businessman Motson proposed on the fifth anniversary of their first date.

“Buy a hat! Thank you for all of your messages,” Klass wrote on Twitter.

“You can see all the pictures in tomorrow’s @hellomag. I will be engagement spamming for the foreseeable future!”

Sharing another shot from the Hello photoshoot on Instagram, Klass said she was the “happiest girl in the world” as her famous friends congratulated her and Motson.

“Congratulations!! Fabulous news,” wrote Piers Morgan, while The One Show’s Alex Jones wrote: “Lovely news!! Congratulations. You looked so happy!!!”

Jools Oliver wrote: “Yesss amazing news congratulations,” with Amanda Holden adding her congratulations.

“BEYOND thrilled for you both!” wrote BBC Radio 6’s Lauren Laverne. “Congratulations and all the love in the world from all of us. Also: looking gorge there, especially Blue Steel there, @simmotson! Xx”

Sophie Ellis Bextor, Kelly Brook and Natalie Appleton also added their congratulations.

Klass told Hello magazine she was “absolutely blown away” by Motson’s recreation of their first date.

"He even replicated the dinner we had – burger and fries, followed by cherry pie,” she said.

“When he got down on one knee and started fumbling around under the table, I thought he was joking.

"Then I thought, 'Oh my God, he's for real.' I was completely speechless."

Klass and Motson have a one-year-old son together, as well as four children between them from previous relationships.
