Klass told Hello magazine she was “absolutely blown away” by Motson’s recreation of their first date.

"He even replicated the dinner we had – burger and fries, followed by cherry pie,” she said.

“When he got down on one knee and started fumbling around under the table, I thought he was joking.

"Then I thought, 'Oh my God, he's for real.' I was completely speechless."

Klass and Motson have a one-year-old son together, as well as four children between them from previous relationships.
