The mother-of-one looked incredible in a brown plunging cut-out maxi dress while Lorri cut a dapper figure in a blue shirt and beige trousers.
Ahead of the proposal, Ferne was seen talking to best friend and former co-star Billie Faiers as they tried to guess what the ‘surprise date’ was going to be.
After months of Ferne’s ‘not so subtle hints’, including telling Lorri’s mum she is her ‘mothering law to be’, the TV personality final got her wish.

The star confirmed her romance with the businessman in January, shortly after the collapse of her six-month relationship with DJ and marketing manager Jack Padgett.
Speaking to the Sam & Billie podcast in May, Ferne admitted he had already changed the family dynamic of her ITVBe show, First Time Mum, and looked forward to viewers seeing her happy.
But she admitted that it was difficult introducing her daughter, Sunday to Lorri – who also has a son from a previous relationship – as they also navigated having the cameras around.

I do: Her partner popped the question as the sun set over the ocean behind them
She said: ‘Filming this series was a completely new experience for me. It was the first time I filmed with a partner in a relationship and that was a completely different dynamic.
‘Going from being a single parent and Sunday having to manage that, I think people are going to love that about this series, seeing the dynamic between our family.
‘It is hard, it’s not straight forward introducing your child to your new partner and you want it to go right, then obviously there’s cameras following you around.’
Ferne revealed that Lorri was a natural when it came to filming her reality TV show and has been a ‘great addition.’

She continued: ‘It’s daunting and it’s alien and it can be quite awkward because when you first start filming with someone, you almost filter yourself and edit yourself to say what you think they want.
‘But for some people it comes to them quite naturally and Lorri has really taken it in his stride.’
The former I’m A Celeb campmate, who has previously made it no secret of her desire to marry Lorri, declared him ‘The One’ and said she ‘wants a ring on the finger soon’.

Said in an interview with MailOnline: ‘It’s not subtle at all, I would love to get engaged before my 32nd birthday but I’ve got to give him the chance. We’ve only been together for… we’re nearly coming up to the five month mark.
‘Hopefully there will be a ring on the finger soon.’
Ferne has famously had a rocky love life, most recently splitting from model and DJ Jack Padgett last year after they spent the second lockdown together.

After the split, the TV personality revealed she still wanted to find her happily ever after but falls for men too easily.
Ferne told The Sun: ‘I am such a sucker for love – I love love so much, and of course I want to find my happy ever after.’
Before that she was in a relationship with jailed acid attacker Arthur Collins, whom she shares her daughter Sunday with.
Arthur is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence at Woodhill Prison, Milton Keynes, after carrying out an acid attack at a London nightclub in 2017 which saw sixteen people suffer chemical burn injuries and three people left temporarily blinded.
