Camilla Thurlow and Jamie Jewitt stole the hearts of the nation when they fell head over heels for each other on Love Island in 2017.
And bucking the trend of doomed villa romances, the pair are just as happy four years on – in fact, they’re now even engaged to be married!
Jamie, 30, popped the question last month with the help of their gorgeous daughter Nell, four months, after he dressed her in a baby grow which read: “Mummy, will you marry my Daddy?”
Clearly still on cloud nine, Camilla tells new she feels lucky to be marrying the man of her dreams and “didn’t see the proposal coming”.
Here, the 31-year-old tells us all about the touching significance behind her unusual engagement ring, what she’s learnt from lockdown and why she feels like a “badass”...
Hi, Camilla, and huge congratulations on your engagement!
Thank you so much, that’s so kind. I didn’t see it coming. You can see how absolutely perfect the ring is – Jamie designed it. He did the most amazing job. My mum was born in the same month as Nell [October], so their birthstone is the same [opal] and Jamie put my mum and Nell’s stone into my engagement ring.
That’s lovely. Have you started wedding planning?
No… we haven’t started planning anything yet. Maybe soon though. So far, we’re just enjoying the joyful moment of being engaged!
You previously said marriage wasn’t a priority for you and Jamie. What changed your minds?
