Following the proposal, Patsy shared an Instagram reel to her social media showing off the enormous diamond ring her partner had gifted her.

As The Flamingos' 'I Only Have Eyes for You' plays over the video, Patsy flashes her new ring at the camera and walks back into the love heart before fake falling over in a seemingly overwhelmed state at the moment, the camera then pans around to reveal a romantic picnic in a beach hut.

In one notable moment from the short reel, Patsy appears to joke about the size and weight of her ring as she holds her arm up to support the enormous diamond.
