The 45-year-old comedian - who is, perhaps, best known for his appearances on 'Celebrity Juice' - has taken to social media to announce his engagement and to pay tribute to Sally for changing his life.

Rufus wrote on X: "In the past two years @sallyhodgkiss has redefined how completely loved or seen I ever believed someone could make me feel. We talk and nourish each other in a way that's almost unbelievable to me. Last night, I asked her to marry me. (sic)"

The comedy star also revealed how he proposed to the actress.

He wrote on the micro-blogging platform: "We were privileged enough to take part in @theimprovathon @WiltonMusicHall, a show in which brilliant, erudite, playful, thoughtful, beautiful, sleep deprived people spoke repeatedly of love, commitment, joy and demonstrated the awesome magic that comes when such people do so.

"Sally walked down for her final bow. As she spoke - a poetic, magnificent final flourish - the universe seemed to scream at me that the time - bizarre as it might be- had come.

"As the crowd applauded her, I took to the stage beside her. Wordlessly, I mimed that I was unlikely to be able to speak, as I was totally overwhelmed.

"Then I dropped to one knee and she looked confused - this would be an odd twist for the characters we'd been playing (siblings as they were). It was only when I spoke her name she realised what was happening. Some people took pictures.

"She said yes. (sic)"

Rufus is now looking forward to tying the knot.

The TV star said: "Anyway, as foolhardy as it feels attempting to be giddily happy in public is (without it being because migrant boats are being sunk or kid refugee centres have had the murals removed) I am. We are. Everything is better with her. She's magic. And soon, I'll be her husband."
