Candice Brown’s outing comes after she announced her engagement to Liam Macaulay on Sunday, following one very memorable false alarm.
Sharing the news with HELLO! magazine in a new engagement shoot, the gorgeous baker said she was ‘feeling very lucky’ following an ‘amazing’ year.
‘I get emotional’ she said. ‘Because it’s been such an amazing year. I feel very lucky. I’ve had such incredible opportunities – GBBO opened so many doors – and to top it off he puts a ring on it.’
And despite prompting speculation of a surprise engagement in late 2016, Candice revealed that the proposal was everything she’d been waiting for.
Exciting: She revealed Liam took them back to the spot where they had their first date in Bedfordshire and pulled the ring (pictured) from the glove compartment of his car
She told the story of how Liam, who she’s been with since 2012, took them back to the spot where they had their first date in Bedfordshire and pulled a ring from the glove compartment of his car.
Candice recalled: ‘He reached into the glove compartment, got out the ring, got down on one knee and said, “I love you, you are my world. Will you marry me?”
Liam continued: ‘So I proposed in a car park. But it really meant something to us. Candice just cried for five minutes before she could say, “Yes!”‘
Candice won Bake Off in 2016, on its former BBC One home, earning a handshake from Paul Hollywood for her four-tier meringue cake and impressing former judge Mary Berry with a ‘humdinger’ of a showstopper.

Something to pout about! Candice shared the news almost a year to the day since winning the Great British Bake Off (here in July)
The former PE teacher had been odds-on favourite going into the final, having been star baker three times in the series thanks to her ambitious bakes, including a peacock made out of marzipan.
Quite the sparkler! Candice inititally prompted speculation at the National Television Awards by wearing this extravagant ring on that finger
She attracted the support of thousands of fans, many of whom complimented her stylish appearance, including her collection of colourful lipsticks and her distinctive pout.
But she was unpopular with some viewers due to her tantrums earlier in the series.
Following her win on the show, Candice and Liam sparked engagement rumours when she wore a show-stopping ring to the National Television Awards.
Candice recently shrugged off the speculation of wedding bells in a chat with Loose Women.
She said: ‘I know [I panicked everyone with the ring] but I just like wearing jewellery.
‘Poor boy – he’s like, “Oh god, the pressure”, and I’m like, “Don’t you dare pressure-ask me to marry you!”‘
In November last year, she also insisted that she was in no rush to marry Liam because they had a long future ahead.
She said to Hello!: ‘We’ll get married one day but there’s no rush. We’ll have kids too. We want it all.’
Shortly before Candice burst on to screens last year, The Sun revealed that one year before the couple met, Scottish-native Liam, was serving a 16-month jail term for dealing cannabis.
He was arrested after police caught him with £6,970 worth of cannabis in his car as he an accomplice drove from Edinburgh to Inverness in 2009. Mr Macaulay then admitted supplying cannabis.
Sources close to Candice insisted she had nothing to do with the crime committed by Liam as she was not dating him at the time.
