Little Mix member Jesy Nelson has spoken out about the surprise proposal from her now-fiancé Jake Roche at Manchester Arena on July 19.

With a little bit of help from Ed Sheeran, Rixton's lead singer got down on one knee to ask Nelson to spend the rest of her life with him - and she said 'yes'.

Chatting to Key 103 after the engagement, she said: "To be honest, it was all a bit of a blur. I thought we'd finished sound check and then lo and behold, old Ed walks on.

"I had my back turned to him and the girls were like, 'Jess, Jess' and then I turned around and he sang mine and Jake's song, 'Tenerife Sea.' And as soon as he sang that, I just balled."

She went on to confirm that Sheeran had come to Manchester especially for the moment, and Roche made sure that Jesy's mum was in the audience to witness the moment.

Jesy continued: "It was all a bit of a blur to be honest, I couldn't take it all in, it was amazing. We've spoken about [marriage] but I never thought that it was going to happen, not today! It sounds so strange but it felt like the feeling of when we won The X Factor."
