The happy couple beamed beside one another on a glam night out, with Jake raising a glass of bubbly and Hannah flashing her sparkling ring.

They were congratulated by pals Jake Quickenden and fellow X factor star Casey Johnson.

The romantic trip saw Jake cover the couple's bed with rose petals and decorate the room with love heart balloons.

It went down a treat with Hannah, who declared: "I love you so much 🤍."

Jake was part of eight-piece boyband Stereo Kicks, who appeared on the X Factor in 2014.

His time on the show was tarnished when he was caught bragging about smoking cannabis in a string of foul-mouthed rants.

He later confessed to X Factor bosses that his behaviour had been stupid and was allowed to continue in the group.

Stereo Kicks made it to week 7 and were the last remaining group in the competition, but after 11 months together the band split.

Shortly after his exit form X Factor Jake was seen in a ketamine-induced stupor.

A source said at the time it was the first time he'd tried the drug and was OK once he'd slept it off.

Jake seems to have turned his life around since those wild days, and enjoys dog walks and romantic trips abroad with Hannah more than heavy sessions on the lash.
