'And I said YES!!!' Holly Valance announces engagement

The actress-and-singer's millionaire property developer boyfriend Nick Candy popped the question by going down on one knee in front of a sign with the words 'Will you marry me?' blazing in lights and Holly revealed she was quick to accept.

Posting a picture of the romantic moment on twitter, she wrote: "And I said YES!!! Happiest day of my life!!!!! Xxxx (sic)"

Holly recently revealed the secret to her lasting relationship with Nick is that they are first and foremost best friends.

She said: "Nick's got to be the funniest person I've ever met in my life - he's hysterical. We're like two kids running around London all the time, giggling in the back of taxis. I do love being around him. We're great mates.

"When we first met, I didn't know anything about him. I just thought 'Cor, if I didn't fancy you so much, we'd be the best of friends. Instead, I just want to make out with you all the time'."

When she did learn about his wealth, Holly "freaked out".

"I rang my mum and said: 'I don't think I can do this because it's just too much.

"And she said: 'You can't hold that against the man. He's a hard-working genius and he's got as much right as anyone else to love and be loved. So you just stop looking at his bespoke chandelier and his gorgeous car and start thinking about him'."

Before she started dating Nick, Holly had a long-term relationship with 'Hawaii Five-0' star Alex O' Loughlin, which ended in 2009.

Artem Chigvintsev is sad to not be joining Holly on Strictly!

He may have hoped to be well enough for this weekend's show but Artem Chigvintstev will not dance with Holly Valance on Saturday night.

The Strictly Come Dancing star was forced to pull out of rehearsals this week following a painful back injury.

The Russian professional has been overseeing Holly's practice this week but BBC bosses have confirmed that he will not dance the Rumba with her

Artem was initially diagnosed with a transverse process fracture of the lumbar spine,' said a BBC spokesman.

'However the latest medical advice from a spinal specialist following further scans is that he is suffering with a combination of joint and soft tissue injury.

While this medical advice is more encouraging he will still need to rest, so will not be dancing this Saturday.'

Aussie star Holly will instead take to the floor with Brendan Cole - who was voted off the show last weekend with his singing partner, Lulu.

But despite suffering from a painful injury, Artem isn't taking a back seat just yet.

He was pictured arriving at the dance studios yesterday to continue choreographing the routine.

'It feels kinda weird watching her dance with another guy,' said Artem, speaking on BBC2's It Takes Two tonight.

'I'm sad not to be dancing with Holly this weekend, but I'm grateful that Brendan is quickstepping in to fill my dancing shoes, and the two of them will be fantastic.

'I've worked with them all week choreographing the routine, and it will be a great one to watch on Saturday.'

Actress-turned-pop star, Holly, was equally as sad and said it felt like she was back at square one.

'I'd just got to know dancing with Artem, got to know his body,' she said.

'But now I'm at a disadvantage because I'm dancing with someone completely new.'

But it seems that Brendan is more than happy to hit the floor with her.

'It is never nice under the circumstances but I’ll do my upmost to help Artem and Holly out and I’m really excited to have the opportunity to dance with Holly.'

Artem - who won the show last year with his partner, Kara Tointon - who he is currently dating - said he is hoping to out of the show for just one week.

Last weekend he amazingly got through an energetic jive with Holly - which he had been forced to change at the last minute due to his injury.

But despite the immense pain he was in, the pair managed to impress the panel and earned a score of 34 out of 40 – the second-highest of the night.

Holly Valance shrugs off Tointon rumours

Strictly Come Dancing's Holly Valance has shrugged off "predictable" tabloid reports alleging there is a rift between her and Kara Tointon.

She branded speculation that she is romancing partner Artem Chigvintsev "pretty boring".

"They were predictable from day one. It's always the way, I just have to be one this year who gets the funny stories."

Holly added "You could have written them out before the series even started."

Ex-EastEnders actress Tointon was said to be jealous of the pair's chemistry on the ballroom dancing show.

However, Valance has since attempted to play down the rumours, claiming she exchanges texts with Tointon every day.

The 'Kiss Kiss' singer will dance with Brendan Cole on tonight's show after Chigvintsev was forced to pull out with a spinal injury.

Strictly Come Dancing airs from 6.30pm on BBC One.
