"I should have known when he took me to a ring shop, but I didn't," she admitted. Becky recounted how she spent a bit of money on some sapphires in Sri Lanka on a holiday with Charlie, but they then split up. While on a break when she wrote 'Wish You Well' and 'Better Off Without You' she decided to make them into a couple of rings.
The couple got back together and while on holiday in the Maldives, she wanted to look at some jewellery, so they popped to a ring shop. Looking at the rings Charlie started to haggle, but it turned out the ring was for him!
However, Charlie had a surprise in store for Becky. "We went to some little desert island, and it was all just a little bit weird," she revealed. "We were shooting content for the resort weirdly. They were getting us to run down the beach and they'd drawn like a heart in the sand and they were like, can you guys lie in the heart and do a heart with your hands!"
Becky then told how he popped the question saying: "Out of his bag, he pulled a ring and he got down on one knee and I told him to shut up a couple of times and burst into tears! It couldn't have been more Becky and Charlie if it had tried."

In an interview with us she explained: "I really need to make sure this next album works, to work out what kind of wedding I can have, and what kind of life I can have after it!"
She continued: "This is my literal future, I'm 30 next year, if it doesn't go well this year it's... in the music industry it's never given to you, like any minute, the rug can be ripped from under your feet. It's like the least secure job, I think we definitely all saw that through lockdown and stuff.
"I just want to make sure that this album goes well, and then I can kind of relax a little bit, and do some life stuff."
