The newly engaged couple first met on a dating app during lockdown and he has now proposed while the two enjoyed a holiday in Mauritius.

Jack also shared the good news on Instagram with his followers, writing: “SHE SAID YES!!!  Can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you… @official_ellahenderson.”

Before she found love with Jack, Ella dated engineer Matt Harvey, with the two dating from 2014 to 2016.

The former couple, who are both from Grimbsy in North East Lincolnshire, parted ways but were still thought to be “on good terms” following their split.

A source told The Mirror: “It’s true, they have split. She’s been travelling a lot and it’s been tough but they remain on good terms.

“They’re very sad about it but the relationship came to a natural end and she’s got plenty to focus on with her UK tour kicking off next month”.
