Made In Chelsea's Frankie Gaff engaged after unexpected proposal on holiday

Made in Chelsea star has stunned fans with her engagement, after her partner Jamie Dickerson popped the question in a surprise proposal while on holiday. The couple, who share son Theodore, three, were enjoying a sun-soaked holiday in Portugal when Jamie got down on one knee.

Former star Frankie, 30, keeps her relationship mostly private, and it's not known exactly when she got together with businessman Jamie, but he first appeared on her in November 2020. The pair welcomed their baby in 2021, with Frankie sharing her motherhood journey with her 295,000 Instagram followers.

To announce their engagement, the former reality star posted a series of adorable images from their trip to the continent. She wrote: "The biggest surprise on our holiday."

The first snap showed the blonde content creator beaming on the beach, holding up her ring finger to showcase her stunning diamond ring. The sun-kissed photo saw her wear a striped red and white frilled dress, while another showed her still amazed at the shock proposal - she held her ring up while cuddling her toddler.

A black and white photo showed the pair basking in their engagement, Frankie draping an arm lovingly over her new fiancé. A third showed her partner holding her hand while sticking his tongue out.

Her comments section was flooded with well-wishes from friends and followers. Former co-star Tiffany Watson wrote: "Yay so happy for you."

Tiffany's sister and another Made in Chelsea alumnus added: "Awww, congratulations." Vikings actress Georgia Hirst commented: "So happy for you both."

Although Frankie has finally found her happily-ever-after, her love life hasn't always been so smooth, with her tumultuous relationship with Jamie Laing documented on Made in Chelsea. Frankie, who is now a property developer, was involved in an on-off fling with Jamie, and first joined the MiC cast in 2016.

Their relationship experienced many ups and downs before they called it quits in 2017, with Frankie never returning to the show. Jamie has also moved on with - the couple got married in April 2023.

Frankie had been ready to leave the show, it seemed, with the star tweeting during an episode of Made in Chelsea: "Wow, how boring are we, sitting in various cafes over London talking about boring boy bulls***, as if that’s all there is to us!"

After ditching reality TV, Frankie focused on her home design and development company, explaining on a social media Q&A: “I decided to start the group because I like interiors and am currently doing a joint first project and I wanted to document the whole process.”

In November 2020, Frankie showed fans her first house renovation in London. She posted a snap of her and Jamie in hard hats outside the property, captioned: "TODAY is move-in day. The house isn’t quite finished.

"We still have the front of house to do, the garden needs finishing, the kitchen is still awaiting some parts to arrive, the worktops have been templated and due to arrive early next week and then all the snagging will be done. Excited to show you the finish. We will also go through everything that went right and everything that went wrong and what we would have done differently as this has been hugely requested.

"Once this project is completed, we will be on the hunt for the next, so stay tuned for that. We also have some exciting next steps for Theo Home Group to grow as a business which we will share with you soon."
