This Morning star engaged after surprise proposal from radio producer boyfriend on holiday

TV and radio presenter Sian Welby is planning to say “I do” after a surprise proposal from her radio producer boyfriend.

Roman Kemp’s co-host on Capital Breakfast told fans she was left “totally speechless” after Jake Beckett popped the question on holiday.

Sian – who often presents This Morning’s competitions – shared loved-up snaps with Jake as she flashed her engagement ring.

She wrote on Instagram: “On Tuesday I thought we were just going on a boat trip!!

“Genuinely didn’t see this coming. For once I am totally speechless.

“I didn’t think it mattered until he asked me, and then suddenly it meant everything.

“Love you Jakey x.”

Singer Pixie Lott replied: “Aaaaaaaa congratulations Sian!!”

“Congrats,” said TV host Laura Whitmore.

Sian replaced Strictly star Vick Hope on Capital to host alongside Roman and Sonny Jay in 2020.

Sonny left last year to launch his own solo evening show and was replaced by Radio One’s Chris Stark.

Meanwhile Sian’s new fiance Jake works for Heart Breakfast as a creative producer alongside hosts including Kelly Brook, Rochelle Humes, Vogue Williams and Emma Bunton.

Sian told The Sun last year how Emma and Amanda Holden were among those who helped her elderly dad “cheat” death.

He caught Covid back in May 2022 while suffering from cancer – leaving Sian fearing the worst.

His health seriously declined after suffering from sepsis and pneumonia in both lungs.

He dropped down to six and a half stone during the seven-week stint in hospital – and there was a chance he’d never come home.

She told how she believes the “power of positivity” from her fans and celebrity pals helped “bring him back to life”.

“A week after that post of me hugging him, and after 37,000 people liking and commenting on my story, I really believe in the power of positivity,” said Sian.

“He couldn’t believe Emma Bunton and Amanda Holden sent him a message to get well soon!

“He asked me to print all the DMs out so he can look at them when I’m not there!

“It was honestly a miracle.”
