Alongside a photo of her and Nick Andrea showed off her sparkling engagement ring.

She wrote: “Something happened… #engaged #heputaringonit #beyondhappy #excited #loveisintheair.”

Her followers rushed to congratulate the couple with one tweeting: “Awwww let me cry right now. I’m so so happy for you. You deserve this. You deserve all the happiness in the world genuinely.”

Another added: “Huge congratulations Andrea & Nick. So happy for you both!”

“Oh my gosh! This is amazing news Andrea. Congratulations to you both,” a third said.

The mum-of-two has been married twice before to Nick Green, from 2000 to 2005, and Steve Toms, from 2009 until 2012.

She has two children from both relationships – Finlay and Amy.

The presenter met Nick in 2014 and previously admitted he “changed” her life.

Speaking to Hello magazine she said: “I never thought I’d feel like this again, that I’d fall in love and get the chance to start a new life.

“It’s been a revelation to him, too.

“And because we make each other so happy, it’s changed our lives.”

“So many people have commented on how much more positive I’ve become since I met him.

“Thanks to Nick, I’m no longer looking backwards, I’m looking forwards,” she added.

But last year the brunette beauty did admit she couldn’t see herself walking down the aisle again.

She told the Sunday Mirror: “For a long time I said never again to marriage but now I wouldn’t say that.

“Although definitely not right now.

“Things are so nice I don’t want to change a thing.”

Late last year Andrea shared her heartbreak at never being able to have children with Nick following her hysterectomy.

Following her surgery Andrea returned to Loose Women and reflected on her decision.

The star revealed she was left with no choice after she was diagnosed with endometriosis – where tissue that behaves like the lining of the womb is found outside the womb.

Speaking to her fellow panellists Andrea said: “It’s just coming up to six weeks now, there’s physical things to get over but my biggest fear was mentally falling over a cliff because that’s menopause.

“My life is really great at the moment and I didn’t want to do anything to spoil it but luckily apart from a couple of hormonal moments, touch-wood it’s fine.”

She continued: “Me and Nick met later in life and both have our own children, but I was sitting and looking at Nick and I was thinking how lucky I am and there was just this wave that we’ll never have children together. 

“I said to Nick ‘if we had children what do you think they would they be like?’ I said ‘do you think we’d have a son because you don’t have a son, you have daughters’.

“Then his eyes filled up. We had a little moment but now it’s all good.”
