'Because we didn't know what the protocol was - Do you ring and be like "Hi, I'm engaged, bye!" Do you send a letter? So I was like let's just do it and then we'll do it when we see people.'
Opening up about the proposal, Nick said: 'He did it a total surprise, didn't know it was going to happen, so I don't think my reaction was great. It was yes, but it wasn't like emotional and crying. I was like "What you doing?"
'He did it on a Sunday afternoon, so it was totally unplanned. He'd been trying for like a month, and he said he kept going to get the box and then I was like "I'm in a well bad mood", and he'd put it back!'

It was reported in 2019 that Nick and Meshach had moved in together so they can 'spend a lot of time together in the week'.
A source told The Sun: 'Nick is the happiest he has ever been and Mesh is a massive part of that.
'They were spending all of their time together, with Mesh always staying over, so it made complete sense for them to move in together.
'Nick asked him to come and live with him and it's all gone really well. Their jobs aren't regular nine to fives so they can spend a lot of time together in the week.'
Nick and Meshach were first spotted at the Soho Farmhouse in Oxfordshire in October 2018.
At the time, a source told The Sun: 'Nick has found dating quite tough in recent years because of his job.
'But he met Mesh a few months ago and although it's still early days they are really enjoying their time together. They are taking things easy and not putting any pressure on anything.
'Nick really likes him, and his friends are thrilled he has found someone who makes him happy.'
