Christine enthused, 'Congrats', and Millie replied, 'Thank you. It was a surprise. I'm very, very happy.'

The Irish TV host pointed at her ring, which Millie was trying to conceal on her lap.

'I'm really sorry but that’s blinging at me!', Christine joked.

A bashful Millie said, 'I'm hiding it', prompting Christine to ask, 'Why are you hiding it?', as the camera zoomed in on the sparkler.

Millie Mackintosh was the fashion expert on today's episode of Lorraine, and of course it was a prime opportunity to model some pieces from her very own collection too.

The former Made In Chelsea star chatted to Christine Lampard about festival fashion and of course her engagement to Hugo Taylor. But it was her trousers that really did all the talking!

They're from the Pre-Fall line and we love the sailor-style button front and high waisted fit. The neon yellow stripes down the side are a nice touch too! Millie teamed hers with a simple camisole, but these navy wide leg trousers would look very sharp with a crisp white shirt too. Click (right) to buy them now.

'It’s beautiful!': Christine gushed over Millie's ring before letting her take the reins

'It’s beautiful!', Christine enthused. 'Thank you. He’s a keeper', Millie said.

Top Hatton Garden jewellers have estimated that Millie's ring could be worth as much as £40,000.

Brett Afshar, of Queensmith Master Jewellers, commented: ‘The understated simplicity of Millie's vintage flower halo engagement ring makes it a very popular choice amongst stylish women.

'The size of the rock suggests the centre diamond is upwards of 1.5ct in size, meaning it will definitely be seen across a crowded room.

'Because diamonds vary substantially in quality and rarity it can have a dramatic impact in value, however based on the sparkle factor I’d be surprised if there was much change from £30-£40k for this impressive ring.’

Smitten: 'He’s a keeper', Millie said of her fiance Hugo Taylor
