Little Mix star Leigh-Anne Pinnock has got engaged to footballer Andre Gray after he proposed as they celebrated their anniversary in lockdown.

The Watford FC footballer shared the happy news on Instagram, posting a photo of the couple as Pinnock showed off her seriously impressive engagement ring.

It seems Gray popped the question to Pinnock in their back garden, which was beautifully decorated by lots of fairy lights.

Although the Little Mix singer is yet to publicly announce the engagement, Gray shared a picture of himself down on one knee as Pinnock covered her face in surprise.

He wrote: “Let the caption speak for itself this time.”

He also posted a heart emoji and an engagement ring, adding: “Hasta la muerte,” meaning “Until death.”

Earlier in the day Pinnock shared an anniversary tribute to Gray with her 5.5 million followers, writing: “Happy Anniversary baby… how has 4 years gone so fast!

"All I know is I’m another year more crazy about you. I couldn’t love you harder if I tried."

Pinnock’s Little Mix bandmate Jesy Nelson congratulated the couple under Gray’s Instagram post, writing “Congrats you beauties,” along with a series of hearts and hearteye emojis.

Later on Friday, Pinnock shared her own photo of the couple, surrounded by fairy lights and giving fans a closer view of the ring.

She wrote alongside several emojis: "Guys.. wtf has just happened... He bloody did it, and I said yes.

"I'm marrying my soul mate, the man of my flipping dreams... I am lost for words, so I think I'm just going to go cry some more.

"@andregray_ I love you so much. My world is literally complete".

Pinnock, 28, frequently shares photos of the couple and said Gray, 28, has supported her while she found lockdown a struggle.

When they celebrated their third anniversary last year, she described him as “my right arm, my escape from the world and my soul mate.”
