I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here! host Ant McPartlin will have to wait to find out if he will be best man for his on-screen partner Declan Donnelly.
Donnelly announced his engagement to his manager, Ali Astall, last week while in Australia filming the ITV reality show.
In an interview with the Daily Mirror, the pair, never seen apart on screen, revealed Donnelly had gone solo with the proposal and kept his fellow Geordie in the dark.
McPartlin told the paper: "No, he did it all himself. I'm very proud of him. Good lad."
And Donnelly said: "It just seemed like the right time. So yeah, I just did it."
And on the subject of his best man, he added: "He (Ant) has got to wait to be asked. There is plenty of time for all that."
Donnelly, 39, who was best man at McPartlin's 2006 wedding, first found fame with McPartlin in teenage drama Byker Grove. He has previously dated actress Clare Buckfield and TV presenter Georgie Thompson.
McPartlin also had a word to say on contestant and The Only Way is Essex star Gemma Collins, who has already threatened to quit the show.
He said: "I don't watch Towie. I have got no history with her whatsoever, but I find her very funny, she is great and makes me laugh. She wants to kill herself over everything."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
