Bake Off star Ruby Bhogal engaged to BBC presenter after 'unromantic' proposal

Great British Bake Off star Ruby Bhogal has announced her engagement to BBC presenter James Stewart.

Sharing the news with her followers, Ruby admitted the romantic moment was almost ruined by food poisoning. The baker confirmed her long-term partner had proposed more than three weeks ago, but she had wanted to tell each of her family members before making the engagement public. ⁣

Announcing the news on Instagram, she wrote: "Have deceptively been hiding my hand in the recent the vids because it’s taken me about 3 weeks to tell most of my family whilst it took James a whole 3 minutes.

"I wish we had a romantic story to go alongside it but food poisoning managed to kick in right about 5 mins before he was about propose and I was about to have a bridesmaid moment running across the street... so yay for love and yay for uncooked chicken in NYC."

Ruby, who finished the 2018 series as a runner-up, posted a series of photos from her recent trip along with the announcement revealing that James cheekily hid the engagement rings in plain sight while his now-fiancée obliviously went about her day.

In the collection of pictures, Ruby is seen brushing her teeth and sleeping on a plane while James secretly flashes the rings to the camera. In one clip, Ruby can be seen walking through Central Park while the presenter repeatedly flashes the ring without her noticing.

The Great British Bake Off finalist captioned the post: "POV: You're prancing around New York unaware you're about to be proposed to." Ruby's pals from the Channel 4 cooking competition rushed to congratulate her, with one even suggesting her former co-stars could cater the wedding.

Rahul Mandal, who won the series in 2018, commented: "Congratulations, what amazing news. Waiting for this to happen for years. But the big question is 'who is baking the cake?'...you have a lot of options, just saying." Ruby replied: "Thank you Rahul!! Is this you offering your services because consider yourself employed."

Candice Brown, who won the show in 2016, added: "Ahhhhh so many congratulations," while 2021 Bake Off finalist Crystelle Perira said: "Ahhh huge congratulations to the both of you!! All the [behind the scenes] pics are amazing. Sending you both so much love."
