Monday, 27 October 2008

Gemma Atkinson has been spotted with an £83,000 diamond ring after footballer boyfriend Marcus Bent proposed to her.

The glamour model, 23, is said to have accepted the Birmingham City striker's proposal whilst on a romantic trip at the Lake District.

'Gemma was thrilled when Marcus popped the question,' a friend tells The Daily Star.

'He really is the love of her life and she's sure they will be together forever. They are both very happy.'

The couple began dating in 2006 and, after a brief split, reunited before Gemma headed to the jungle for I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! last year.

The couple live together in Manchester.
