Vogue Williams can’t wait to showcase £150,000 rock

She is believed to have been presented with an exquisite 4ct diamond ring, with an estimated worth of £150,000.

So it’s little wonder that model Vogue Williams, 32, couldn’t wait to pose with the stunning rock on Instagram on Thursday night, as news of her engagement to Spencer Matthews was announced.

Spencer, 28, got down on one knee on stage at The Lyceum Theatre in London’s West End, following a performance and backstage tour of Disney’s award-winning musical, The Lion King.

The huge Disney fans had watched the show from the best seats in the house, before partaking in an exclusive behind the scenes tour of the theatre. 

The tour then culminated on the beautifully lit-up stage, where the couple were left for a few moments in private for Spencer’s surprise proposal.

The former Made In Chelsea star, whose brother James spent £250,000 on his engagement ring for now-wife Pippa Middleton, got down on one knee in the West End earlier this week.

Sparkler: Spencer also shared a clip of the huge rock, which is being estimated at £150,000

Minutes after news broke, Vogue posted a picture of the exquisite sparkler on her Instagram page.

In the selfie, the Irish beauty can hardly believe her luck as she presents the ring to the camera with her mouth aghast.

Her proud fiancé Spencer posted the same photo, as well as a video that captured the ring from every angle, in the illumination of its own blue light.

The engagement rock is being estimated near to a cool £150,000, which would explain Spencer’s enthusiasm to flaunt the diamond.

Stephanie Lee, director at fine jewellers Ntinga in London told MailOnline exclusively on Friday: ‘It is around 3-4ct radiant centre with baguette and trillion shoulders of around 1-1.25ct.

‘They are set in a distinctive bridge style 5-stone claw. This jaw-dropping ring has a very approximate value of £150,000.’

Wonderful news: The proposal (which took place after a performance on the Lion King in London) was inspired by their first holiday to Disneyland Paris in 2017

Spencer came to notoriety on the show E4 reality show, Made In Chelsea, which features the exploits of wealthy socialites in West London.

A spokesperson for Spencer and Vogue, 32, said: ‘The couple are absolutely over the moon and thrilled to share their exciting news.’

The couple began dating in February 2017 after meeting on winter sports show The Jump.

Sparks flew when Vogue was forced to pull out of the ski slopes early because of an injured knee with Spencer winning her affections when he showed his nurturing side as he looked after her following her injury.

Though the eye-watering sum is not expected to be hard on the wallet for Spencer, who once tweeted a £488,706.48 bar bill at the 2&2 Club.

Spencer and Vogue have been together for 11 months, but the hunk said he has known that she was ‘The One’ for some time.

The proposal took place, in tribute to their first holiday as a couple at Disneyland Paris.

Speaking after the special moment, Spencer said: ‘I’ve known Vogue was “The One” for a long time. We’re very happy and in love. She’s my best friend and I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with her.

‘The engagement had to be special, and as our first trip away together was to Disneyland Paris, it felt like the perfect fit. The Lion King is also one of the greatest stories of all time, so I figured that having just had a romantic evening watching it, she’d probably say yes!’

The cosy pair shared pictures from their getaway to Disneyland Paris before they went public with their affections for one another in March. 

It was a true whirlwind romance, with the couple moving in together after seven months of dating. 

Reports had claimed she had moved into Spencer’s home in Chelsea, but Vogue insisted that hadn’t been the case during an appearance on ITV’s Loose Women at the beginning of October.

She told the panel: ‘We moved in together last night. He arrived home at four in the morning from Greece and forced me to get up to have a glass of champagne to toast the new house. He didn’t want me to move in to his house.

‘He lives in a one-bed in Chelsea and I have a lot of clothes so that was never going to work. And I lived with two Irish boys so I think we’ve always wanted to have our own place so that’s what we started looking at straight away.’

They haven’t been shy about flaunting their love for each other, with Spencer gushing on social media, ‘never been happier in my life’ while she reciprocated, ‘at my happiest with this boy by my side.’

Vogue revealed the secret to success with their relationship is that they never argue in a recent interview with The Sunday Mirror.

She said: ‘He is my best pal. I remember thinking we would be best friends forever. It is the first relationship where I don’t have fights with people.’   

Speaking of their romance, Vogue admitted she and her family ‘fell in love’ with Spencer straight away after meeting. Not fazed by his previous reputation as a lothario, thanks to his womanising ways on Made In Chelsea, the starlet added that she finds it ‘cringe-worthy’ when people suggest she has now ‘tamed’ him.

Vogue added: ‘My mum loved him… even my step-dad, who would’ve been the tougher one to crack, fell in love with Spencer and we get on really well with one another’s family.

‘He is very charming. I think when Spencer was on Made in Chelsea he was 21. As a 21-year-old boy, he was doing what a lot of 21-year-old boys wanted to do.

‘He didn’t want to be in a serious relationship for too long. I haven’t tamed him in anyway which I keep reading about, it makes me cringe because I haven’t done anything he was just like that when I met him.’

In May last year, Vogue hit the headlines when it was claimed she had been ‘banned’ from attending the wedding of Spencer’s brother James to Pippa Middleton.

Spencer attended solo, after the bride reportedly enforced a ‘no ring no bring’ rule for the wedding, where royalty was present in the form of Pippa’s sister, Kate Middleton and her husband Prince William. 

A wedding insider told The Sun at the time: ‘Pippa’s view is that Vogue’s relationship with Spencer is still very new. It wouldn’t be appropriate for her to be there after just a few months of dating.

‘But some people in the circle are pretty shocked because this is her future brother-in-law who’s going to end up attending on his own. It’s certainly raised eyebrows. It’s clear Pippa doesn’t want to be outshone by any TV babes on her big day.’

A representative for Vogue said: ‘Vogue has a prior engagement in her diary on the date of the wedding, but wishes Pippa and James all the best on their special day.’  

Love of her life: She told the panel: 'We moved in together last night. He arrived home at four in the morning from Greece and forced me to get up to have a glass of champagne to toast the new house. He didn't want me to move in to his house'

Vogue was previously married to former Westlife singer Brian McFadden from 2012 to 2015.

Speaking shortly after they announced their separation, the then 30-year-old said she feared her hopes of a happy ending and starting a family had been dashed after the split.

She said: ‘My head’s all over the place. I feel like I don’t have a goal. Everything that I wanted is sort of gone.

‘I wanted to be married and I wanted to have kids for so long and now that’s sort of gone, and I’m like, “What do I do now?”‘

‘I’m trying to figure out where I’m going with my life and that causes a lot of anxiety. 

Meanwhile, Spencer has previously claimed to have slept with 1000 women, which calculated from the age of 16, works out to more than 100 women per year.  

From the cast of Made In Chelsea alone, he has dated Funda Onal, Caggie Dunlop, Louise Thompson, Emma Miller, Lauren Hutton, Lucy Watson and Stephanie Pratt. 

Outside of the show, he has also been linked to Vicky Pattison and model Morgane Robart.

However, he hasn’t always had all the luck with the ladies, as he once attempted to ask Petra Stunt on a date and it went terribly wrong.

According to pal Jamie Laing, the former Made In Chelsea star awkwardly asked the F1 heiress out when they were children, however fate intervened and a bird defecated on his head as he tried to woo her in the playground.
