The former 'Geordie Shore' star has revealed she burst into tears when her boyfriend John Noble, whom she's been dating since the end of last year, popped the question with a beautiful 3.6-carat marquise-cut diamond ring while they were spending the weekend at his countryside home on the outskirts of Newcastle, North East England.

Speaking to OK! magazine, she said: "I was spending a few days at John's house, which is just outside Newcastle and surrounded by lovely countryside. One morning he suggested we take his dog Roxie out for a walk. After a while we stopped for a sit down on a bench overlooking some lovely scenery. I was playing with Roxie when she shook her head and got slobber all over my face. When I wiped it away, John was in front of me on one knee. I couldn't believe it, I burst into tears. I said yes and then I looked at the ring and I was blown away, it was amazing."

However, the 29-year-old beauty has admitted she was convinced John - who she first dated when she was 21 - was going to break up with her because he didn't seem as into her as before and even refused to see her one weekend in the run up.

She explained: "In the days leading up to the proposal I was convinced that he was about to break up with me! We'd had a difficult few weeks because I had been really busy with work and couldn't make it to see him.

"I was hoping he would come to see me [in Essex] but he kept saying he had too much on. It was so out of character for him that I started panicking, thinking he was going to finish things with me. I was crying to all my friends all the time and arguing with him on the phone because I was so sure he didn't want to be with me anymore."

And Vicky has already started thinking about her big day and her wedding dress.

She said: "I loved the wedding dresses that the Duchess of Cambridge and Pippa Matthews wore, so I think I'll use those as inspiration."
