The Saturdays star Mollie King has revealed that she has got engaged to England cricketer Stuart Broad after more than eight years of dating.

The singer, 33, broke the news with a picture on her Instagram account that showed the couple kissing and also revealed her ring.

"A thousand times yes!," she wrote. "I still can't believe it, the most magical start to the new year! I can't wait to spend all my years with you @stuartbroad."

Broad - England's second highest Test wicket-taker in history - posted the same photo and added: "The best way to start 2021."

Since The Saturdays went on hiatus in 2014, King has forged out a successful career as a radio presenter and currently hosts Radio 1's weekend breakfast show.

Broad, meanwhile, is preparing for a trip to Sri Lanka as part of a two-Test tour.
