REEL LOVE AS ANDRE POPS THE QUESTION TO LEIGH-ANNE
LI ITTLE MIX star LeighAnne Pinnock thought her fella Andre Gray was going OTT with his celebrations for their fourth anniversary. But the footballe footballer was secretly planning to pop the question during their movie night at an outdoor cinema he set up at their home, specially for the occasion.
‘There was a walkway of fairy lights and candles and I was like, “This is a bit much for an anniversary, what’s going on here?”’ LeighAnne told bandmate Jade Thirlwall on her MTV show Served! With Jade Thirlwall.
‘We started watching a film and then halfway through it cut out and our song started playing.
‘Then there were videos and pictures of us and there was this book on the screen that said, “Four years and forever counting”, and it kept opening up with pictures of us and stuff.
‘And then it just said, “Will you marry me?” and he was on one knee.’
Leigh-Anne, 28, was revealing the full deets after the Watford striker announced their engagement on Instagram last week.
As the loved-up couple posed for a photo, showing off her diamond ring, Andre, also 28, wrote: ‘Let the caption speak for itself this time... Hasta la muerte [to the bitter end].’ Leigh-Anne also commented on the happy news via social media as she described her beau as ‘the man of my flipping dreams’.
She said: ‘Guys.. wtf has just happened. He bloody did it, and I said yes.
‘I’m marrying my soul mate, the man of my flipping dreams. I am lost for words, so I think I’m just going to go cry some more @andregray I love you so much. ‘My world is literally complete.’ LeighAnne recently admitted she had been piling on the hints in the hope that Andre might propose one day.
Quizzed on whether she would like to marry him, she said: ‘I really hope so. I’m just waiting, you know. I’m waiting... patiently.’
