An insider told The Sun: "Everyone is so thrilled for them."

"Finally, as I wrap up this morning, lovely news to announce that Davina McCall is engaged, our very own!", Richard began, reports Wales Online.

"Davina has been with her celebrity hairdresser and beau Michael Douglas for seven years now and the pair are finally tying the knot."

Richard confessed he was "none the wiser" after meeting the couple on the red carpet at the National Television Awards, though he did note they seemed "giddy".

"Have you seen how hot Michael looks?" Davina gushed to Richard on the red carpet, proudly showing off her partner.

"Congratulations to them both," Richard continued back in the studio.

Madeley chimed in: "Will he be sliding a gold ring on it?" before sharing an interesting tidbit: "Did you know that if all the gold in the world were put into one place, it would fit into a cube 70 feet by 70 feet."

Reports suggest that Davina and Michael secretly got engaged this summer, sharing the news with their close circle.

It's believed they jetted off to the Burning Man festival in Nevada, US, three weeks ago.

With the happy news coming months after Davina underwent a health scare and had to have a benign brain cyst removed, the source added: "To say it has been a rollercoaster year for her is an understatement."

They continued: "She had a new lease of life - as so many do who have been in similar situations.

"Michael was her absolute rock throughout her recovery.

"If you see them together, genuinely they are like lovesick teenagers. Their chemistry is insane."

After undergoing surgery in November following being diagnosed with the "very rare" brain tumour, which was discovered after a random health check-up, Davina celebrated her final MRI scan coming back clear in May.

"When I got this brain tumour I said to Michael 'if I make it, this will be the greatest thing that's ever happened to me.' Because of the learnings, yes – and because of the places I've had to go to deal with it," she later revealed.

Good Morning Britain airs weekdays from 6am on ITV1 and ITVX.
