Millie Mackintosh has confirmed that she’s engaged to boyfriend Hugo Taylor.

The Made In Chelsea stars sparked speculation earlier this month after Millie, 28, was spotted wearing a huge engagement ring on her finger.

It’s now been revealed that Hugo, 31, popped the question during a romantic break to Mykonos.

A rep for the stars confirmed the exciting news. They told the Mail Online: “I can confirm that Hugo and Millie did get engaged whilst they were on holiday in Greece.”

The pair have been soaking up the sun on an exotic holiday in La Guérite – Île Sainte Marguerite to celebrate Millie’s 28th birthday.

They then travelled to the Greek island of Mykonos where Hugo got down on one knee.

Earlier this month the couple started speculation that they were engaged after Millie was spotted wearing a ring on her ring finger.

The stunning reality star showed off a huge sparkler on her finger as she relaxed on a beach.

Millie and Hugo first met in 2011 when they were both on reality show Made In Chelsea.

They briefly dated before splitting when he cheated on her with their fellow co-star, and Millie’s then best friend, Rosie Fortescue.

But earlier this year the couple rekindled their romance following Millie’s divorce from rapper Professor Green in 2016.

The two married in 2013 but went their separate ways following a string of rows.

Millie and Pro Green – real name Stephen Manderson – released a joint statement confirming the break-up was amicable. They said: “It is with sadness and regret that we confirm our separation.

“It is a mutual decision, we still care deeply about each other and would like it to be known that it is on amicable terms and we wish each other well.”

Now several months on it seems Millie is looking into the future with beau Hugo.

The pair announced that they had moved in together back in February with a post on Instagram.

Millie wrote: “My new roomie ❤️️❤️️❤️️.”

Meanwhile Hugo may be giving up his days on MIC and trying out a new career path.

The I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! contestant revealed that he wants to run for Mayor of London.

He reckons he can do a better job than most politicians because he “understands” London and lives in Chelsea.

The star told The Sun’s Bizarre: “During campaigning, people are campaigning on personality over anything to do with actual politics.

“I keep thinking one day I’ll run for Mayor of London.”

We would love to see that!
