She also shared a video of Matilda watching the fireworks and light show at Disney castle, while Can You Feel The Love Tonight played in the background.

A brief close up glimpse of her engagement ring could be seen before Helen panned the camera down to show Scott had also got her a beautiful bouquet of flowers.

They had often been asked in interviews when they might get engaged, with Helen saying just last month she’d been dropping hints about a ring!

She told OK! magazine: “I’ve pointed Scott in the right direction for an engagement ring!

“We’ve been together for nearly nine years and we’ll soon have two kids, so it’s about time. But I want to have a romantic proposal, first of all!”

Helen added she would love to have a third child one day, but not until they tie the knot.

“I definitely want another baby but I’m going to wait until I’m in my thirties, after we’re married,” she said.

Helen’s currently on maternity leave, with Rosie’s final scenes set to air soon.
