Lauren Scruggs walked into the propeller of the plane after being shown the city's Christmas lights by a family friend, receiving horrific injuries.

Lauren received a romantic proposal spelled out in candles

After losing one of her eyes and a hand in the incident, Lauren admitted she feared no-one would ever love her, and spoke of moments when she would be consumed with 'primal, uncontrollable anger' at what she had lost.

But after the highs and lows of the past two years, Lauren has revealed the wonderful news that she is engaged to E! News presenter Jason Kennedy.

Lauren was left with horrific injuries following the accident

The TV host flew to Scruggs' Dallas home and wrote out 'Will you marry me' with candles on the lawn, proposing in front of her friends and family.

Posting the news to his Instagram, Jason wrote: 'Truth is I never flew to New York, I flew to Dallas and asked her if she would spend the rest of her life with me. I love you @laurenscurggs.'

The pair have been dating since last summer, with the E! news employee apparently falling hard for the blonde beauty.

Congratulations to the happy couple!
