She said: "We are absolutely delighted, I'm really happy, he's gorgeous."

Geri and Christian's good news was announced less than a week after it was revealed that Benedict Cumberbatch would be marrying Sophie Hunter, in the same paper.

It read: "Mr C.E.J. Horner OBE and Miss G.E. Halliwell: The engagement is announced between Christian, son of Mr and Mrs G.M. Horner and Geraldine, daughter of the late Mr L.F. Halliwell and Mrs A. Parkinson."

The mother-of-one and the Formula One boss went public with their romance earlier this year after they began dating in March.

No wedding date was included in the announcement for Geri and Christian, who is the boss of the Red Bull team.

The couple both have children from previous relationships, Geri's eight-year-old daughter Bluebell and Christian's one-year-old daughter Olivia from his relationship with Beverley Allen.

The pair have been friends since 2009 and were pictured at Silverstone together last year.
