Carolynne Good and David Willey will marry later this year

Now, less than a year after the couple met, 26-year-old David surprised Carolynne with a romantic proposal in Scotland and they reveal they are now preparing to tie the knot in a Yorkshire church this autumn.

Talking for the first time and sharing a romantic video of the proposal with HELLO! Online, Carolynne, 35, reveals that when David got down on one knee and presented her with a sparklng white "D" diamond pear drop-style ring, she started laughing.

"Then I started crying so much and thought, 'Oh, God, if he sees my face he'll change his mind.'"

Carolynne, who releases new single Take the Keys in the coming weeks, reached the Judges' Houses stage of The X Factor in 2011 and the live shows with Gary Barlow as her mentor in 2012 when she performed under the name Carolynne Poole.
David is "a nervous wreck" when he watches her perform.

"I hadn't really watched The X Factor but that was the only series I followed," says David, who had no idea he was watching his future wife.

Carolynne first saw David who is the son of former England cricketer and Test umpire Peter Willey, by chance when she went to watch a friend play cricket. Of their first date Carolynne tells HELLO!:

"The feeling I got was that I'd known him my entire life," says Carolynne. "He was in front of me and it was like, 'Suddenly he's here.'".
