"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," she told the publication.
"He is the best thing that's ever happened to me, without a shadow of a doubt."

The star previously told HELLO! about her beautiful proposal, explaining: "It was a lovely, sunny day and we had taken a picnic with us, and we were sitting by the river, watching the boats going by. I turned to say, 'What’s wrong?' He was on his knee, and he proposed. At first, I thought he was joking, but he said, 'No no, I really do mean it, Will you marry me?’ I said: 'Yes!! Of course!’" Aw!
