Love Island star proposes to stunning girlfriend on one knee in Thailand with HUGE diamond ring
LOVE Island star Jamie Clayton has got engaged to his long-term girlfriend during a very romantic proposal in Thailand.
Jamie – who shot to fame on the ITV2 dating series in 2020 – popped the question to his girlfriend Harriette on the exotic island of Krabi.
The recruitment consultant, 30, shared clips of the special moment with his fans.
The Edinburgh lad got down on one knee in front of a stunning beach backdrop, leaving his unsuspecting partner lost for words.
He decorated the decking with petals in the shape of a heart and handed his girlfriend a long stemmed rose.
He was seen holding a ring box in his hands as the brunette beauty burst into happy tears.
After saying ‘I Do’, the newly-engaged couple warmly embraced and in another snap Jamie planted a kiss on his fiance’s cheek.
Updating fans on the special news, Harriette wrote: “I couldn’t say YES quick enough.
“What a surprise, I’ll love you forever and more.”
Jamie’s former Love Island pals were quick to congratulate the pair.
Callum Jones wrote: “Congratulations to both of you.”
Connor Durman posted: “Congrats you two.”
Finley Tapp commented: “Congratulations to you both.”
Jamie has taken a step back from the spotlight in recent years.
Jamie, who was a recruitment consultant before going into the villa, returned to his day job shortly after his villa stint.
He now lives and works abroad in Dubai after setting up his own firm called White & Clayton Recruitment with his business partner.
Shortly after leaving the villa, Jamie opened up his Love Island experience and warned wannabes only to sign up “if they can handle it”.
“There is no such thing as a free meal, so please remember that,” he said at the time.
“Although I’ve been out every night since I’ve been home there is no such thing as a free meal I can tell you that.”
He continued: “In terms of my experience, I was approached on Instagram via direct message and was asked to go through the initial application that everyone has to do, it’s just to spark interest, so I did that and got through stage by stage.
“My opinion on that is that there are so many stages in place to make sure that you are being yourself – they are looking for honest, true answers.
“If you try to go in and pretend to be someone else, someone who has done well on the show in the past and you think that’s what ITV or Love Island are looking for, don’t bother applying, you will be found out at one point or another.”
He left the villa with Natalia Zoppa, and later rumoured to have been dating Eve Gale, the first islander to be voted out of the villa.
They were pictured enjoying two dates in Manchester but reps for Eve insisted they were “friends and enjoy sharing their Love Island memories, there is nothing more in this instance”.
