Former reality TV star and country musician Megan McKenna has announced she is engaged to partner Oliver Burke.
The X Factor: Celebrity winner said her new fiance had “opened up a world I never thought was possible” as she shared the news on social media.
McKenna has starred in a raft of TV shows including Celebrity Big Brother and Celebs Go Dating, but is most well-known for her stint on The Only Way Is Essex.
She and Millwall footballer Burke posted a short video on Instagram on Wednesday announcing the news.
The video showed the pair arrive at an exotic location by boat, with McKenna blindfolded, before Burke got down on one knee, and pyrotechnics flared.
YES YES YES a thousand times YES. You have opened up a world I never thought was possible. I love you Oliver Burke… here’s to forever my future husband ♥️ pic.twitter.com/ysuh2vDwMV

Captioning the video, McKenna wrote: “YES YES YES a thousand times YES.
“You have opened up a world I never thought was possible. I love you Oliver Burke… Here’s to forever my future husband.”
On his own page, Burke wrote: “I promise to love you for the rest of my life. I can’t wait to grow old with you, my wife to be. I love you. Forever. And always.”
McKenna has been linked with both Towie star Pete Wicks and former Love Island contestant Mike Thalassitis, who was found dead in March 2019.
In November 2019 she was crowned the winner of the X Factor: Celebrity’s first series, beating off competition from professional quizzer Jenny Ryan, girl band V5 and identical twins Max and Harvey.
