Gethin Jones confuses fans with forest proposal with blonde model

Gethin Jones has remained tight-lipped about his love life, but he made waves after releasing a video of his proposal on Thursday.

The Morning Live star, 46, was filmed taking model Nikki by the arm and leading her down a romantic woodland path to an opening where fairy lights and Polaroids hung from the trees.

In addition to relationship milestones like the first date, you just had the message: “Yes?” as Gethin fell to his knees and produced a ring box. Inside, a solitaire diamond sat on a gold band as part of an advertisement for Clogau – the company famously responsible for the nugget used to create the wedding rings for the Princess of Wales, the Duchess of Sussex and several royals.

“She said yes (again!). @clogaugold“, Gethin wrote in reference to his Christmas ad featuring the same model. While the video was clearly meant as a tongue-in-cheek gesture, many of his followers were left confused and commented with congratulatory messages.

Meanwhile, Gemma Atkinson said: “I would have said I’d rather have the money.”

Gethin has not revealed many details about his recent love life, but he has previously been linked to singer Katherine Jenkins, TOWIE star Lucy Mecklenburgh and German model Katja Zwara.

In February 2011, Gethin and Katherine announced their engagement after meeting on Strictly Come Dancing in 2007. Gethin called off their relationship in December, later admitting they were “in a rut”.

Speaking about their split in a 2014 documentary programme, she said: “At the end of 2011 when Gethin and I broke up, the reality was that about two weeks later I was going on a UK tour where every night I singing heartbreak songs.

“And every day just trying to find the energy to pull through — let alone go on stage and understand his reason for doing it.

“Meanwhile, everyone else is under the impression that it was my decision, my ambition – I wanted to take over the world. That was so far from the truth.”

Gethin similarly admitted that he struggled with depression in the wake of their split. he said on The Mirror’s Outdoors in mind podcast: “It was just awful. I remember doing BBC Radio 5Live and going to the toilet at 5.30am and going, ‘Okay. Come now. Just focus on the next three hours and then you can go back to being sad again. ‘ I must have had a bad bout of depression during that time.”

Recently, the Welsh presenter told The mirror that he prefers to stay away from dating apps. “My mate has been trying to get me to do it a bit but no… I believe in the old fashioned way,” he said.
