Mel appeared on Celebrity Gogglebox on Friday night alongside friend Ruby Wax for a special Stand Up 2 Cancer edition of the show, where she spoke about the moment he got down on one knee.
It was reported this week that Leeds-born hairstylist Mel proposed at the luxury country hotel Cliveden House in Berkshire with a £100,000 diamond ring.
On the show, Ruby asked, “You told me you got engaged the other day, what did he actually say?”
Mel replied, ‘He said, ‘I love you, you are my best friend and I want to spend the rest of my life with you’, there were rose petals everywhere, a wood fire, it was romantic.’

According to The Sun, Mel was “overwhelmed” when Leeds-born hairdresser Rory fell to one knee and burst into tears of joy.
The publication reports that he then held out a £100,000 ring consisting of a pear-shaped champagne-colored diamond set on a rose gold band.
An insider told the outlet Mel immediately said “yes,” adding, “But it was incredibly emotional because after everything she’s been through, it was a really big moment for her.”

Another source shared how Mel is “so happy” about the engagement, adding, “It took a lot for a man to make her trust him and believe in love again.
“He’s the complete opposite of so many of the guys she’s had relationships with,” and explains how he showed her that men can be “caring, trustworthy, and dependable.”
“He really took the time to understand what she was going through. He’s madly in love with her.’

The insider described Mel’s fiancé as a “normal, down to earth guy with good morals” and insisted he wasn’t interested in fame.

The publication reports that Mel’s eldest daughter Phoenix, 23, was the first person she told about the engagement, with her other friends and family reportedly being “over the moon,” while all of the singer’s other Spice Girls have already met “and like’ her future husband.

The pair are believed to have been together since 2018, when they met through friends in LA, including celebrity makeup artist Renee Camilleri.
However, their relationship became more serious the following year when Mel returned to the UK for the Spice Girls Reunion Tour.
Mel shares eldest daughter Phoenix with Dutch dancer Jimmy Gulzar. Mel met Jimmy in 1998 when he was hired as a dancer for a Spice Girls world tour.
They became engaged in May 1998, she became pregnant a month later and they married in Little Marlow, Buckinghamshire, in September of the same year. Their divorce was finalized in 2000.
Scary Spice is also mother to middle daughter Angel Iris Murphy Brown, 15, whom she co-parents with Hollywood actor Eddie Murphy.

The former couple separated in December 2006 and Mel gave birth to Angel in April 2007. On June 22, 2007, a court-ordered DNA test confirmed that Eddie Murphy was the child’s father.
Mel also shares her youngest daughter, Madison Brown Belafonte, 11, with her second husband, Stephen Belafonte.
The Spice Girl split from Stephen in 2017, claiming he emotionally and physically abused her during their 10-year marriage – something he has always vehemently denied.
In January, Mel received an MBE for her work with Women’s Aid, a domestic violence charity, to help other people who have suffered from abusive relationships.
She was named in the New Year Honors for services to charity and vulnerable women, and she explained: “For me, it was all about her”.
