“And we’ve now set a date! After so much negativity, it feels so good to talk about something positive. #DancingOnIce (sic)”

The good news comes after Hamish’s alleged fallout with Caprice Bourret on the ITV show, which saw him only skate one routine on the current series.

It’s finally time for some good news We’re engaged.

Hamish has admitted that he decided to pop the question “sooner” than the couple had “anticipated” after his partner supported him through a difficult few months, seemingly referring to his feud with Caprice.

He told the publication: “I’ve known for a long time that I want to spend the rest of my life with Amelia, but what I’ve been through made me keen to make that commitment to her sooner than we’d anticipated.
