Firstly, Alex revealed that he and Mollie were celebrating their two-year anniversary with a romantic meal in Chester on October 4 last year.

He continued: "I thought, ‘If I don’t do it now, I’ll keep getting more and more nervous!’ I was pretty certain she’d say yes, but I was still bricking it!"
