Made In Chelsea star engaged after surprise proposal on sun-kissed trip abroad
Made In Chelsea's Frankie Gaff has left fans completely blown away after sharing she has become engaged to her businessman fiancé Jamie on a sun-soaked getaway Made in Chelsea star Frankie Gaff has stunned fans with her engagement, after her partner Jamie Dickerson popped the question in a surprise proposal while on holiday. The couple, who share son Theodore, three, were enjoying a sun-soaked holiday in Portugal when Jamie got down on one knee. Former E4 star Frankie, 30, keeps her relationship mostly private, and it's not known exactly when she got together with businessman Jamie, but he first appeared on her Instagram in November 2020. The pair welcomed their baby in 2021, with Frankie sharing her motherhood journey with her 295,000 Instagram followers. To announce their engagement, the former reality star posted a series of adorable images from their trip to the continent. She wrote: "The biggest surprise on our holiday." The first snap showed the blonde content creator beaming on the beach, holding up her ring finger to showcase her stunning diamond ring. The sun-kissed photo saw her wear a striped red and white frilled dress, while another showed her still amazed at the shock proposal - she held her ring up while cuddling her toddler. A black and white photo showed the pair basking in their engagement, Frankie draping an arm lovingly over her new fiancé. A third showed her partner holding her hand while sticking his tongue out. Her comments section was flooded with well-wishes from friends and followers. Former co-star Tiffany Watson wrote: "Yay so happy for you." Tiffany's sister and another Made in Chelsea alumnus added: "Awww, congratulations." Vikings actress Georgia Hirst commented: "So happy for you both." Although Frankie has finally found her happily-ever-after, her love life hasn't always been so smooth, with her tumultuous relationship with Jamie Laing documented on Made in Chelsea. Frankie, who is now a property developer, was involved in an on-off fling with Jamie, and first joined the MiC cast in 2016. Their relationship experienced many ups and downs before they called it quits in 2017, with Frankie never returning to the show. Jamie has also moved on with Radio 1 host Sophie Habboo - the couple got married in April 2023. Frankie had been ready to leave the show, it seemed, with the star tweeting during an episode of Made in Chelsea: "Wow, how boring are we, sitting in various cafes over London talking about boring boy bulls***, as if that's all there is to us!" After ditching reality TV, Frankie focused on her home design and development company, explaining on a social media Q&A: 'I decided to start the group because I like interiors and am currently doing a joint first project and I wanted to document the whole process.' In November 2020, Frankie showed fans her first house renovation in London. She posted a snap of her and Jamie in hard hats outside the property, captioned: "TODAY is move-in day. The house isn't quite finished. "We still have the front of house to do, the garden needs finishing, the kitchen is still awaiting some parts to arrive, the worktops have been templated and due to arrive early next week and then all the snagging will be done. Excited to show you the finish. We will also go through everything that went right and everything that went wrong and what we would have done differently as this has been hugely requested. "Once this project is completed, we will be on the hunt for the next, so stay tuned for that. We also have some exciting next steps for Theo Home Group to grow as a business which we will share with you soon."

Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info East Lothian holiday park bingo caller Vinnie McKee is just one performance away from potentially clinching the title of this year's Britain's Got Talent champion. The 29 year old Glaswegian from Ruchazie is counting on Scotland's support as he prepares to take the stage in tonight's eagerly anticipated live final. Vinnie, who has been deeply affected by the loss of his brother Frankie last year to a suspected irregular heartbeat, believes his brother will be with him in spirit during his performance. The entertainer, who works at Dunbar's Thurston Manor Holiday Park, impressed with his rendition of The Proclaimers' classic 'I'm Gonna Be (500 miles)' at his audition and earned Simon Cowell's golden buzzer in the process. Vinnie said: "When I step on stage tonight my brother will be there with me and I will 100 per cent be singing for him." He recounted feeling his late brother's presence during the live semi-final, saying: "I felt Frankie beside me when I sang in the live semi-final. I spoke to him before I went on saying he better be on stage waiting for me as I could not walk out there myself and he was.", reports the Daily Record. Vinnie opened up about the profound impact his brother's passing had on his family, describing the past year as the most challenging period of their lives, but noted that BGT has brought them a glimmer of hope. He expressed how participating in BGT has been a beacon of light amidst the darkness, stating: "Losing him has been devastating for my whole family. Last year was the worst time of our lives but BGT has given us all something to be excited about. It's been a bit of light at the end of a very long tunnel." Reflecting on his journey to the final, Vinnie revealed the personal significance behind his audition song choice: "When I sang 500 Miles in my audition it was an ode to my brother and everything that has happened to our family." He confessed that while he didn't verbalise the tribute at the time, he believes the emotion resonated in his voice as he performed: "I didn't say that out loud at the time but I think everyone could feel and hear the emotion in my voice as I sang the words. "My mum, dad, sister, aunt and uncle will all be in the audience tonight and Frankie will be with me on stage cheering me on. I want to make him, my family and Scotland proud." Vinnie, who is gearing up to wow at this year's Pride of Scotland Awards, is set for a final showdown alongside LED dance squad The Blackouts, the youthful guitar wizard Olly Pearson, ping pong dance ensemble Ping Pong Pang and humourist Joseph Charm. Joining them in the quest for glory are vocalists Maya Giotea and Stacey Leadbeatter, the impassioned Hear Our Voice choir, nimble nine year old gymnast Binita Chetry, and drag artist songstress Jasmine Rice in the gripping race to clinch the talent show's top honour. While judges Alesha Dixon, Bruno Tonioli, Amanda Holden, and Simon Cowell will put forth their critiques, the ultimate decision rests in the hands of the public; Vinnie is counting on passionate support from Scotland to claim victory. Join Edinburgh Live's Whatsapp Community here and get the latest news sentstraight to your messages. Should he triumph, the soul-stirring crooner would become the second Scot to seize victory on the renowned ITV programme, echoing the success of Jai McDowell, who earned accolades as champion back in 2011. With his semi-final rendition of Snow Patrol's "Chasing Cars" leaving audiences captivated, Vinnie expressed: "I am so proud to be flying the flag for Scotland and it would be amazing if the nation got behind me tonight and voted." He added with heartfelt pride, "I feel like I have already won as reaching a final is a huge achievement for a wee boy from the East End of Glasgow." He revealed the shock of performing for millions compared to families at the holiday park: "This is the biggest thing I have ever done and I have to pinch myself sometimes to make sure it is really happening. I'm used to singing in front of a room full of families in a caravan park and now I'm singing live in front of millions." Don't miss the Britain's Got Talent live final airing tonight on ITV1 and ITVX at 7pm.
