‘Love. Life. Energy. We always give 100% to everything we do & our relationship is no different.

‘A: Pulling off this surprise? One of the biggest & best things I’ve ever done! Zara has a sixth sense & somehow knows everything before it happens. But this time… I got her! ✨

‘Z: He defiantly got me !! AJ is everything I have ever dreamed of & more so I knew this day would come but I thought in a year or so! You really can tell I had NO clue as my nails weren’t done.

‘A: If you know Zara like I do, this was the best reaction I could ever hope for. Seeing that pure joy, that moment of surprise… it meant everything.

‘Z: I’m not gonna lie, the first few minutes, it took me a second to realize you weren’t playing a practical joke on me! Not how I ever imagined reacting. My YES was quiet, because i couldn’t stop crying, but it was the most meaningful YES of my life…Truly swept off my feet.

‘A: I feel so blessed & grateful because Zara is my rock. She picks me up when I’m down, supports every step of my life, & believes in all my goals for our future together. To do this in our new favorite place in London, where we’ve already made so many incredible memories, just made it even more special.

‘Z: I feel like the luckiest girl alive, honestly. Every moment with you feels like a dream, & I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you. The thought of one day taking our kids to this special place to create even more memories together fills me with so much happiness. I’m beyond grateful for you & everything we have❤️

‘Can’t wait for this next chapter together!❤️’

While hosting the awards, presenter and model Lisa, 53, let slip the news and said: ‘I feel really bad. I’ve busted it haven’t I?’ 

She greeted the AJ warmly, saying: ‘It’s lovely to see you.’

AJ responded with equal enthusiasm, saying: ‘It’s lovely to be here, it’s fantastic.’

Lisa continued: ‘You’re such a big supporter of the Smileys. You’ve been supporting them for very many years, haven’t you?’

AJ replied: ‘Honestly, it’s fantastic to be here. And just every single film, every single charity has the chance to be seen in this scenario, and I think it’s really important.’

Then, in what turned out to be a huge blunder, Lisa probed: ‘And just on another note, a little birdie told me, are you engaged? Have you just got engaged?’

AJ laughed nervously, replying: ‘Officially no.’

Lisa quickly followed up: ‘Oh I’ve just put you on the spot.’

However, AJ then added: ‘But my fiancée is in the room somewhere up there with a lovely ring on so we are not officially out there but now we are officially out there.’

Lisa, realising her mistake, exclaimed: ‘It’s an exclusive!’

Earlier this month, AJ hinted he proposed to the brunette stunner, who just turned 30 on Saturday - after they began dating in 2022

AJ, now fully embracing the spotlight, added: ‘This is an exclusive! I will now post the video of me and my lovely fiancée in Hyde Park getting engaged. It’s very romantic. It’s very cute. Yeah, it’s out there now, Zara wherever you are.’

Lisa, a bit flustered, said: ‘Whoops! Congratulations. Amazing.’

AJ responded: ‘Thank you so much. We are here for very important stuff but life is what gets you.’

Lisa reᴀssured him, saying: ‘You shouldn’t feel bad. You’ve got to celebrate everything.’

AJ laughed and said:’ I’ve gone warm now.’

Lisa added: ‘He’s gone warm now, me too.’

Earlier in the evening, AJ’s fiancée, Zara, was spotted taking the tube to the event, while AJ arrived in a car.

Zara, a model and founder of an exclusive London social club, referred to AJ as ‘her boyfriend’ when speaking to MailOnline.

AJ recently came under fire after Love Island fans branded him 'fake,' accusing him of quickly changing his tune on Ekin-Su after previously calling for her 'removal' from the villa following a fiery argument

She said: I’m with my boyfriend AJ tonight, I’m supporting him as he’s giving out an award.’

AJ, meanwhile, shared his excitement for the evening: ‘I’m excited to be here tonight. It’s one of my favourite awards.’

The pair have been together for two years.

Earlier this month, AJ hinted he proposed to the brunette stunner, who just turned 30 on Saturday – after they began dating in 2022.

The couple celebrated Zara’s birthday with friends at a lavish restaurant, and the birthday girl took to her social media page to share snaps from the bash.

In one pH๏τo, Zara held her left hand with a dazzling diamond ring upto the camera along with a caption reading: ‘MISS ENGAGED @zarazoffany.’

Dancing the night away in style, the TV personality slipped into a busty red top and a white mini skirt with matching knee boots.

Prior to this, AJ and Zara stepped out for a couple’s date night alongside his younger brother Curtis and girlfriend Ekin-su Culculoglu – as they headed to the CORACHO Tequila x Helen Anthony show amid London Fashion Week.

AJ was previously in a relationship with Abbie Quinnen

Yet the former Strictly pro recently came under fire after Love Island fans branded him ‘fake,’ accusing him of quickly changing his tune on Ekin-Su after previously calling for her ‘removal’ from the villa following a fiery argument.

In the latest instalment, the boys received video calls from home, and Curtis, 29, got the chance to catch up with his older brother, AJ.

Earlier last month, it seemed AJ wasn’t too fond of Ekin-Su as he discussed the couples fiery argument in a Q&A with fans on Instagram.

However, it appears he has since changed his opinion, as he told Curtis that he and the rest of the family are ‘loving watching their relationship grow.’

At the beginning of the catch-up, AJ said: ‘Everybody’s so happy that you’re with Ekin from the outside. Mum absolutely loves her. She’s a strong, independent woman.’

Visibly pleased, Curtis responded: ‘So, you think we’re good?’

AJ smiled and replied: ‘100 percent. It’s really nice to see you actually grow as a couple.’

Curtis revealed: ‘We’re in a very, very good place. I wanted to ask her to be my girlfriend and stuff, but I just thought, I don’t know if it’s the right place to do it or not, so I thought maybe I’ll wait till the outside.’
