Pop star Jamelia has announced her engagement to footballer Darren Byfield.

The 26-year-old said: "I'm completely over the moon. Darren proposing was a real surprise but I'm totally delighted. I can't stop smiling!"

The Superstar singer threw a surprise birthday party for Bristol City player Byfield in Birmingham on Sunday night after performing at London's Olympia.

But the real surprise was to come as Byfield got down on one knee and popped the question in front of family and friends.

The couple have been dating for three years and have a daughter, Tiani, who turns two later this month.

They briefly split over the summer following claims he had cheated on her, but were soon back together.

Jamelia also has a six-year-old daughter, Teja, from a previous relationship.

The singer is about to start work on her fourth solo album and this December will perform at Nelson Mandela's World Aids Day concert in South Africa.

She recently became the face of the Model.Me haircare range alongside models Helena Christensen and Erin O'Connor.
