The 'Rude Tube' star has reportedly popped the question to the artist, who has previously romantically linked with Robert Pattinson and dated Aidan Turner, after a whirlwind romance.

A source told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre TV column: "Alex has been knocked for six since meeting Nettie and has fallen head over heels.

"He's completely smitten and soon realised he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her."

Alex has previously been romantically linked with the likes of Sarah Harding, Pixie Geldof and Sadie Frost but has found love with Nettie and has left his life of serial dating and boozy nights behind him.

And the former 'Popworld' host recently admitted he's much happier having a quiet night in front of the TV than going out partying.

He said recently: "It wasn't a period when I was particularly happy; I don't think anything good came from that period.

"I wasn't enjoying the shows I was making.

"Even though I had the body of a 25 or 26-year-old, mentally I was quite immature.

"When I do get time off now, the happiest I am is when I finish a DVD box set, because it means I have found time to watch 13 hours of TV."

Meanwhile, Alex has given some advice for those attempting to buy their first home.

He said: "Firstly, patience, especially with solicitors who have seemingly been put on this earth to test our resolve.

"I had one who was beyond thorough to the point of checking if Crossrail would affect my property, despite being built seven miles away.

"I asked if he could check and see if they were going to be launching day trips to Mars nearby in the future. Secondly, don't make fun of your solicitor."
