Fitness expert and TV personality Chloe, 30, said: “He kissed me on the forehead and said, ‘You do know how much I love you, don’t you? The last three and a half years have been the best years of my life.’

“I just thought he was being romantic because we were in Paris, so I replied: ‘Oh babe, that’s so sweet.’

“But then he added: ‘And you do know I want to marry you?’ and started to get down on one knee.”

She added: “At first I thought he was joking. I was speechless and stared at him in disbelief.

“My first thought was: ‘Oh my God, he has a ring!'”

England and Wasps player James, 33, revealed that he designed the ring himself because he “wanted it to be perfect and for her to love it”.

“That ring was a labour of love for me,” he added.

Chloe and James are pictured posing together while showing off the engagement ring in the magazine. 

They said they had so far only told four people of their engagement news – their parents.

“They were ecstatic,” said Chloe.

The couple, who frequently share pictures together on social media, first started dating in 2014.

Sports star James told the magazine: “Planning the rest of my life with Chloe is exciting and I couldn’t be happier.”

Fans have been flooding the couple with congratulatory messages, with one joking: “Y!!! About time Mr Hask. Congratulations both of you!”
