DOESN’T QUITE ‘RING’ TRUE...

■ IF you want to be a contestant on a US game show, according to an insider account, you’ve got to be able to feign near-hysterical delight over winning a toaster. And if you want to get your engagement story in Hello!, it seems, you’ve got to feign astonishment over a marriage proposal by, er, your partner of several years with whom you’ve already had a child. Myleene Klass nails it in the current edition when she describes how long-term boyfriend and baby father Simon Motson produced a nine-carat diamond ring in a posh London restaurant. ‘Completely speechless’ with surprise, ‘when he got down on one knee’, she said. ‘I thought he was joking.’ Right, because that joke would have gone down a treat with Myleene, in front of all those strangers, right enough.
