“How Marcel did everything was just wonderful. We’re in a really traditional Japanese hotel and there were petals on the bed and champagne.

“He said: ‘Fleur East, will you be my wife?’

“I couldn’t believe it. The ring is so beautiful and yellow is my favourite colour.

“Me and Marcel have been together for nine years so we’ve spoken about marriage a lot, and he knew exactly what I wanted. It’s perfect. I cried instantly.”
