Jono proposed in Maui, Hawaii, on Amy’s birthday, and she described the proposal as romantic and luxurious.

She told Husskie magazine: ‘The concierge took me to the beach, the sun was setting, and I walked down these stairs and there was Jono surrounded by candles and rose petals everywhere!

‘He worked with the chef at Four Seasons Maui and created a menu of all of my favourite foods for the night. It was absolutely magical.
