They were one of Big Brother’s more unlikely couples, but Ryan Ruckledge and Hughie Maughan have proved their relationship was more than a showmance by getting engaged.

The pair, who met on the Channel 5 reality show in June, revealed their big news with messages on their Twitter accounts.

Ryan, who previously appeared on ‘The X Factor’ in 2015, wrote:

Ryan and Hughie quickly formed a bond on ‘Big Brother’ when they were both selected to become ‘Others’, living together in the ‘Other House’.

After days of flirting, the pair eventually shared a kiss, and were a fully-fledged couple by the time Ryan was evicted in week six of the series.

Hughie finished runner-up to eventual winner Jason Burrill, despite being the bookies’ favourite to be crowned champion.

During their time in the house, Ryan and Hughie found themselves at the centre of a row with housemate Andy West, when they claimed they’d gotten engaged, much like Andy had with his own boyfriend.
