Congratulations are in order for former TOWIE star Clelia Theodorou, who has announced she’s engaged to long term boyfriend Tommy Cole.

Clelia and Tommy announced the exciting news on Instagram (because where else?) when they shared a video of their adorable daughter Cielo wearing a babygrow with the words, ‘Mummy and daddy are getting married!’ on it.

The happy couple captioned the post, ‘A million times yes 💍. It’s crazy to think back to the days when we didn’t know each other then all of a sudden there was you and you became everything 🤍♾️.”

The comments section was flooded with messages of congratulations from their reality star pals including Love Island legend Olivia Attwood, who wrote, ‘I’m so so so so happy for you ❤️❤️❤️❤️.’

Nicole Bass commented, “The best news EVER, was bursting with happiness when you told me 🥹❤️ can’t wait for the wedding 💒 @tommy.cole ❤️❤️,’ while Chloe Ross added, ‘Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyy been waiting for this 🥹🤭 congratulations I love yous xxx.’

TOWIE viewers will remember that Clelia previously dated Dan Edgar, and his mum Wendy sent her well wishes too, writing, ‘So happy for you, you deserve all the happiness life can bring. Congratulations 💍🩷🩷.’

Tommy popped the question to Clelia after three years of dating and a year after their daughter was born.

The pair met after Tommy appeared on TOWIE in 2021 as a pal of Demi Sims and a potential love interest for her sister Frankie.

Last year, Clelia was involved in a tragic car crash that killed her mum and left her with two broken legs.

In June, the reality star told her followers that the situation was still ‘really raw’ and admitted that she might never be able to reveal exactly what happened.

‘Family and friends that know everything I can talk to, but talking about it to someone new and reliving it is so difficult,’ she added.
