Toby is then seen walking onto the ice holding a black box.

Getting down on one knee, Toby presented Patsy with a ring before asking her to marry him.

Of course, she said yes and the audience erupted into cheers and applauds as fireworks went off behind the happy couple.

The show’s official Instagram account shared a photo of the special moment as they revealed the news to fans as it wasn’t shown on air.

The caption read: “SO sweet it practically melted the ice. Before tonight’s show, #DancingOnIce crew member Toby proposed to his girlfriend Patsy.

“And she said YES. Congratulations to you both!”

Fans gushed over the sweet moment as one person – who revealed they were sitting in the audience – commented: “This was so lovely. Glad I was in the audience to see it. Congratulations.”

Another wrote: “Omg! How romantic!! She was not expecting that. Congratulations Guys,” while a third added: “Oh my that is the cutest thing ever.”
