She said yes and they headed to The Holland Tringham – their local Wetherspoons, in Streatham, south London.

Nic said: “We were told in the cab ride on day one of living in the UK that we should drink at these pubs.

“We’d never heard of them.

“Anyway, I proposed in Notting Hill, then we celebrated at the Wetherspoons.”

The pair met when Stella worked as a personal trainer at Nic’s gym.”

After their engagement last Saturday, (11 May) he posted on Wetherspoons The Game Facebook page.

“We’re on table on 201 at The Holland Tringham, would love any beer at all to celebrate please!“

Thanks.“Will of course pay it forward.”
