Speaking to , Craig, 55, said: "There’s such comfort in knowing you have somebody that loves you and wants to spend the rest of their life with you.

“I feel like I have someone who has my back and I’ve got theirs.”

Craig called the moment "hilarious" and "sweet", and he answered the way Strictly fans would expect.

He explained: "I said, 'Absolutely not!' [laughs]. And then I said, 'Oh, alright then, I’ve changed my mind.'

"I thought it was really sweet, actually, because Jonathan just said, 'I want to spend the rest of my life with you.' It was absolutely perfect. I would much rather be in a bubble bath with champagne than climbing up a mountain to a waterfall anyway."

The happy couple met in 2018 on the Strictly arena tour after being introduced by a friend.

Speaking to The Sun in the early stages of the romance, Craig said: "He’s absolutely adorable, gorgeous.

“He’s good-looking, 5ft 10in,  dark hair and beard. We met on the Strictly Tour a month ago. He came to the show with a friend and we met backstage."

They now live together at Craig's stunning Hampshire home.

The star recently gave fans a glimpse around his home as he appeared on This Morning via videolink.

It features giant glitterballs and a statement sequin sculpture.
