The Great British Bake Off star Ruby Bhogal has announced her engagement to BBC presenter James Stewart.

Ruby, who was a runner-up in the 2018 series, shared the news in an Instagram post, which consisted of photos and videos that Get Set Galactic host James secretly took of the engagement rings with his other half in the background.

"POV: you're prancing around New York unaware you're about to be proposed to," she wrote in the caption, before explaining the not-so-romantic way in which the proposal went down.

⁣"Have deceptively been hiding my hand in the recent the vids because it's taken me about 3 weeks to tell most of my family whilst it took James a whole 3 minutes," she continued.

"I wish we had a romantic story to go alongside it but food poisoning managed to kick in right about 5 mins before he was about propose and I was about to have a bridesmaid moment running across the street (iykyk) so yay for love and yay for uncooked chicken in NYC. ⁣I love this life."

"(Time to start planning a big FAT Indian wedding but all I'm thinking about is the CAKE am I right?!)," she added.

⁣Fellow Bake Off contestants like Kim-Joy and celebrities like Marcus Brigstocke and Amanda Holden congratulated her in the comments.
