When did Caspar and Ellie get engaged?
On August 7, 2018, Caspar announced their engagement via Instagram. He posted a photo of Ellie wearing a giant ring on her finger, with a long, sweet caption.
Speaking on The Jonathan Ross Show, Ellie said: “I think he proposed a bit sooner than he thought he was going to. I think he got a bit over-excited and proposed the week before he was planning.”
“We were having maybe a couple of drinks and we were doing a Jigsaw puzzle. He likes them. I think it was quite an easy one. Probably 400 (pieces). Anyway, I think he was getting bored of it and then he proposed. It was quite romantic for some reason,” she added.
The two formally announced their engagement in The Times that same month.
