The radio shared the happy news on his Instagram...
Popular BBC Radio 1 host Greg James has revealed that he is getting married.
Taking to Instagram to share the happy news, Greg revealed that it was actually his girlfriend Bella who popped the question - asking him to marry her in February.
Posting a picture of himself giving Bella a sweet kiss, Greg James wrote: 'Oh while we’re doing announcements, here’s something else...I’m having the time of my life and enjoying my work more than ever.'
He added: 'I feel really content and it’s nice to have my shit together before I undertake a huge new work challenge. One of the main reasons for this happiness is because I met this person.'
Introducing his now fiancée, Greg explained: 'This is Bella and in February she asked me to marry her. I said yes immediately because she is the smartest, funniest and most beautiful person I’ve ever met. The only problem is she loves staying up into the early hours drinking as much as I do and this is not conducive with 5am alarms.'
Finishing the post he said: 'That said, it’s been quite a year.'
Greg's engagement announcement comes after it was confirmed that he would be taking over Nick Grimshaw's breakfast slot on Radio 1.
