Love Island's Olivia Buckland and Alex Bowen have announced they're engaged.

The couple, who're in New York to celebrate New Year, broke the news on Twitter and Instagram.

Olivia posted a picture of her new ring, saying she was "speechless". Alex summed things up by simply saying: "She said yes."

The two got together on the ITV2 reality dating show earlier this summer and came second to winning couple Cara De La Hoyde and Nathan Massey.

Alex caused controversy on Love Island after scenes showed him getting intimate with Zara Holland. She was then stripped of her Miss GB crown.

But that's now very much in the past. And it looks like there's going to be a serious party when the couple get back from America.

Olivia's tweet says: "Eeek get ready for the engagment party of the century.", external

Olivia had been paired with Daniel Lukakis, Rykard Jenkins and Adam Maxted before getting together with Alex.

And this one says: "When you wake up and remember last night was the best night of your life.", external

The couple already live together and for the moment, there's no news on when the wedding will be.
