"We got engaged when we were on holiday," revealed Carol. "So it's lovely news and we're both thrilled. Thank you!"

Confirming plans are yet to be made, the newly-engaged star said: "I'm taking note of all the flowers Jon. No, no plans afoot yet."
This is set to be Carol's second marriage. Last year, the weather reporter gushed about finding love 13 years after her divorce from ex-husband Jimmy. She opened up about her secret romance with her "handsome" boyfriend, describing their relationship as the "best thing that's ever happened to me".

Speaking with Prima Magazine in June 2021, Carol admitted she is extremely happy but isn't sure whether she is ready to remarry anytime soon. "I don't want to say too much about my boyfriend, but I will say that he is very kind and very funny - he's always making me laugh. And extremely handsome, as well," she revealed.
"He always makes me a cup of tea before I go to work in the morning, which is very romantic - it's 2.45am and he often leaves me a little love note for when I come home from work. That, to me, is worth a million red roses." Clearly smitten with her man, Carol added: "He is the best thing that's ever happened to me, without a shadow of a doubt."
