Love Island star announces their engagement with sweet post after jetting off for romantic holiday in the Maldives - six years after villa stint - suong
A Love Island star has announced their engagement with a sweet post after jetting off for a romantic holiday in the Maldives.
Rosie Williams, 33, who appeared on the show in 2018 took to Instagram on Sunday to reveal that her handsome partner Sam Tankard had proposed.
Rosie doesn't show her partner on social media and keeps their relationship mostly private.
Set to a cover of Can't Help Falling in Love, a video showed Rosie's boyfriend getting down on one knee against the stunning backdrop of the ocean.
The proposal took place on the luxurious Velaa Private Island in the Maldives, where room rates start at £5,365 per night.
She looked stunning in a bridal white ruffled dress and boosted her height with heels for the special day.

Rosie simply captioned the post with the date of the proposal: '17.12.2024.'
Her fellow Love Island including Hayley Hughes and Samira Mighty were quick to congratulate her on the news in the comments.
Rosie was best known for her tumultuous relationship with Adam Collard on the show.
Last year Rosie issued a warning to Adam's now pregnant fiancée Laura Woods about his toxic behaviour and insisted that the sports presenter is 'too good for him.'
Rosie who starred on the 2018 series with Adam, 29, told MailOnline that it appeared her former flame hasn't matured, judging by his TV appearance on Celebs Go Dating and return to Love Island in 2022.
Charity Women's Aid accused Adam of 'emotional abuse' during his first stint on the ITV2 series after he appeared to 'smirk' when he dumped Rosie for Strictly star Zara McDermott.
And after breaking the rules on Celebs Go Dating last year by bedding his co-star Lottie Moss, Rosie feared Adam could still be set in his old ways.
The ex-solicitor also expressed her 'shock' after learning the news of Adam's new relationship with sports presenter Laura, 37, who is nine years his senior, and a credible figure in the TV industry.
Rosie said: 'I know Laura Woods from watching sports and I always say how well she has done for herself... her career has excelled... it is incredible to see a woman in the sporting world doing so well.

'I was just as shocked as everyone else when I was told she was dating Adam. I was told, I don't actually have Adam on social media.
'Adam and I were short lived, and it was five years ago now but when he went back on Love Island the second time, I hoped that he didn't treat the girls the same way that he did with me and Zara McDermott... I hoped that he went on the show to find love as he said.
'Unfortunately, the same toxic pattern in his behaviour emerged... People like to tell me things and again in Celebs Go Dating, the exact same routine carried through, so he really hasn't changed. His TV appearances speak for themselves!'
Rosie said that she is often asked what women see in Adam, who has dated a string of reality stars including Kate Moss's half-sister Lottie and Love Island's Paige Thorne.
The Geordie gym owner has also romanced a number of girls that he's met outside of the entertainment industry such as exes Josie Baxter and Claudia Proctor.
She added: 'When people question 'why are people falling for him all the time?' I say, 'he is charming and seems really sincere at first'... But I just wonder if he means it this time with Laura because I would hate for somebody else to get hurt by him.'
Laura accidentally exposed her relationship with Adam by mistakenly posting photos of them cuddling and kissing to her public Instagram account rather than sharing the pictures to just her close friends.
The TNT Sports presenter was met by a barrage of criticism for her choice of boyfriend, with some fans saying they were 'disappointed' and felt Laura had 'let herself down.'
Many social media users even accused Laura of 'ignoring red flags', saying Adam has the 'worst track record with women' and she needed to 'reassess her decision.'

And Rosie agreed that Laura could do better than the reality star, saying she predicts that Adam could be attracted to her fame.
She said: 'Laura is a beautiful woman, she is ambitious and seems independent, so I hope she has a positive impact on him if not, more fool him.
'It will definitely be attractive to Adam that she is doing so well in her career and has a lot of male attention... being as knowledgeable as she is about sport, she ticks all the boxes. She has a lot of attractive qualities.
'Maybe he feels he has finally met his match. Everyone knows her name and her career is going from strength to strength. I know a lot of girls have been in awe of Adam in the past so maybe he's finally met someone that he feels the same way about.'
