Josh Denzel, who was a contestant on Love Island season 4 in 2018, is engaged to his long-term girlfriend, model Ruby Wong, jetting her off in a helicopter to the top of a snowy mountain in Switzerland to ask her to marry him.

He’d arranged to have a scene of red roses, fur throws, candles and champagne set up so he could get down on one knee in front of his girlfriend in the snow, in a memorable setting.

The couple started dating in 2020 and had some adorable words to say about each other when they announced their engagement in a joint Instagram post.

They captioned their snowy engagement photos: “My love, every day with you is a gift, and I’m so blessed to spend the rest of my life by your side. You are my rock, my guide, and my heart. And now, you’re my fiancé. I love you always.”

Also on Love Island at the same time, was Dani Dyer and Jack Fincham, who went on to win the show but broke up a few months later. Laura Anderson, Dr Alex, Samira Mighty and Wes Nelson also starred on that same season.

Josh and Ruby went Instagram official in August 2020, but are thought to have begun dating during lockdown earlier that year.

Since then, they’ve documented their travels around the world together, with Ruby working as a model and Josh often presenting coverage of F1 and football.
