Little Mix star Leigh Anne Pinnock has announced her engagement to Andre Gray as the pair celebrate their fourth anniversary as a couple.

I do: Little Mix star Leigh Anne Pinnock has announced her engagement to Andre Gray as the pair celebrate their fourth anniversary as a couple
The couple, who started dating in 2016, will marry after the Watford striker got down on one knee in their garden during their anniversary celebration.
Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne’s Little Mix bandmate, was among the first to respond to the happy news, commenting: ‘Congrats you beauties.’
Leigh-Anne shared an old picture of the pair kissing on a beach, but didn’t mention the engagement.
She wrote: ‘Happy Anniversary baby… how has 4 years gone so fast! all I know is I’m another year more crazy about you. I couldn’t love you harder if I tried (sic).’
The 28-year-old singer recently admitted she was hoping Andre, also 28, might pop the question one day.
Quizzed on whether she would like to marry the Watford striker, she said: ‘I really hope so. I’m just waiting, you know. I’m waiting … patiently.’
But just last month, Leigh-Anne admitted her hopes of a proposal and then summer wedding appeared to have been dashed because of the coronavirus pandemic.
She said: ‘The wedding is probably not going to happen now because we can’t go anywhere. He’s probably not going to (want to) do it in the house. So it looks like my dream is officially over.
‘I’ve not really been planning it but every girl has got the idea of what they want, we’ll see, it is a dream of mine.’
