This is extremely cute.

Caroline Flack is running the ship on the reality show right now but she’s also had plenty of luck in that department, becoming engaged to Apprentice star Andrew Brady.

The pair were together just a few months before Andrew got down on one knee.

Caroline has now revealed to Cosmopolitan that the couple met over Instagram after she spotted him on telly.

She made the first move by following him and he wrote to her shortly afterwards.

“I saw you on TV before we’d even met. ‘WHO is that guy?’ I texted my friend. ‘Oh, some man who was on The Apprentice, I think,’ she replied.

“I followed you on Instagram and you followed me back with the simple, emotionless line: ‘Thanks for the support.’ (I now know, of course, it took you hours to come up with that!) It made me laugh so I gave you my number. A few days later, we met.”

Meeting him for the first time, she said she felt like she’d known him her whole life.

“I’ll never forget seeing you walk into the restaurant – tall, with a smile 10 miles wide, not just for me but for everyone in there.

“Talking to you was effortless. There were no first-date nerves – just two people laughing and getting to know each other until the early hours. It was how all first dates should be.”

Two days later he showed spat her house with a teddy bear “And, well, you’ve never left”.

Ah stop – this is like Jack and Dani all over again.
