Kevin Kilbane and Brianne Delcourt moved in together on the first day of their romance.
The ‘Dancing On Ice’ duo – who only met when they were paired together and started rehearsals for the ITV skating show late last year – announced their engagement this week, and they revealed their whirlwind relationship moved faster than people realised.
Appearing alongside her fiance on Friday’s (07.02.20) episode of ‘Loose Women’, Brianne laughed: "It was literally the first day [of our relationship]."
She added: "I was actually staying with Kieron Richardson, my very first partner on ‘Dancing on Ice’ 10 years ago, and we had to train that day and we started talking and Kevin was like, ‘It’ll be easier if you stay with me.’ "
The loved up couple confirmed their engagement this week, revealing how Kevin started singing a song to his pro skating partner while they were in a restaurant before dropping to one knee and popping the question.
Brianne wrote on Instagram: "He couldn’t have been more perfect I love you @kdkilbane77 .

She also shared a clip of the moment Kevin got down on one knee, which was greeted by plenty of applause and cheering.
A waiter then brought over a cake and a sparkling ring to the table, Kevin sat down – and just seconds later a shocked Brianne accepted his proposal.
Reflecting on his plans, the former footballer admitted: "I planned this for weeks and I was thinking of different things, ice skating related."
Sadly for the pair, they were eliminated from ‘Dancing On Ice’ on Sunday night (02.02.20), but they admitted they had gained the ultimate prize – each other.
Kevin said: "I didn’t need to come on the show, it’s been an incredible run.
"We said if we make it to our birthdays we will be happy."
Asked if they will continue skating together, he replied: "Absolutely, Definitely. It’s fixed my posture in many ways."
