Emma Bunton announced her engagement to long-term partner Jade Jones live on Dancing On Ice last night - to the delight of her co-stars.
The former Spice Girl, 35, made the revelation to her colleagues and fellow judges during a commercial break - and brandished a huge diamond ring to the cameras and viewers at home when the show returned.
Posting on her Twitter during the break, as well as putting up a picture of herself sporting her rock, she wrote: 'Yahooooo I'm Engaged! Love you Jade! I'm a very happy lady!!'
Jade proposed to the star on Friday night as they celebrated her 35th birthday.
Afterwards, Emma Tweeted: 'I had the best birthday ever!'
Emma has been with the former Damage boyband-star-turned-chef, 31, for 11 years.
The former Spice Girl and judge on the show announced in November that she was pregnant with their second child.
They are expecting a sibling next spring for their three-year-old son Beau.
Dancing On Ice host Phillip Schofield made the announcement live on the show, saying: 'Breaking news! Emma has just announced her engagement! Just during the break then.'
Co-host Holly Willoughby - who is also pregnant with her second child chipped in: 'You've got a baby on the way and now a fiancée!'
An absolutely beaming Emma then replied - as she was almost drowned out by the cheers and applause from the audience: 'I know! I'm a very very happy lady. It's amazing! Thanks you so much.'
The star was wearing a beautiful black lace maternity 'Flutter' dress from Tiffany Rose, which retails for £139.
It's one of Emma's favourite labels for mothers-to-be, and she's not alone - the label has also been seen on blooming yummy mummies Myleene Klass, Charlotte Church and Natasha Kaplinsky.
Davinia McCall was one of the first of Emma's friend to congratulate her after the first part of the Dancing On Ice live show, Tweeting to her: 'OMG r u engaged??? Well done !!!!! So happy for u both!'
Emma replied: 'Yes! Ahhhhhhh so happy!'
Bunton and Jones live together in Hertfordshire and only last year, the former Spice Girl had insisted that they were in no rush to wed.
She told the Mail: 'It's not on the agenda; we don't even talk about it. We've been together for ten years and we're so close - we share the childcare rather than have a nanny so we're often together 24/7.
'I can honestly say that we're really happy, so we don't feel the need to formalise it.'
Just a few months after giving birth to Beau, Bunton went on tour with the Spice Girls, even bringing the tot on stage during one of their New York concerts.

Britney Spears looks bloated and unkempt as she makes a restroom stop at McDonalds
Her appearance seems to go from neat and clean to unkempt and dishevelled on a daily basis.
And while, for once, her hair extensions were not on show, Britney Spears still managed to messy once again as she made a brief stop at a local McDonalds yesterday.
The singer was accompanied by boyfriend Jason Trawick and her sons Sean Preston, five, and Jayden James, four.
Wearing a tight white ruffled shirt and blue jeans, Britney looked bloated and tired as she and her children nipped inside to use the restroom.
The Toxic star has been busy in the dance studio getting ready to shoot the music video for new single Don't Hold It Against Me, which was released last week.
The song shot to the top of the iTunes chart and has received compliments from Miley Cyrus as well as Kanye West who made a joke post about it on Twitter.
He said: 'I'm really happy for you and I'mma let you be #1, but me and Jay-Z single is one of the best songs of all time! LOL.'
The tweet poked fun at his now infamous interruption of Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the 2009 VMAs.
But the comment did not go down well with Britney's camp, who responded by posting a message in response on her own Twitter.
'Thanks for "letting" us be #1. Much appreciated.... -Adam Leber, Manager.'
Kanye later deleted it his original comment, perhaps having second thoughts about the whole thing.
He said: 'I thought LOL signified a joke… I didn’t get the 2011 LOL doesn’t signify a joke anymore memo… LOL or something else I guess.'
Hopefully Britney will clean her act up in time for her album launch in March.
It was only last week that Britney gave photographers a clear view of her extensions as she headed to a dance studio in West Hollywood.
t was claimed recently celebrity hairstylist Kim Vo has now taken charge of Britney's hair, and is trying desperately to fix the damage her constant extensions have caused.
A source told gossip website UsMagazine.com: 'He mentioned how often she changes her mind about it.
'This week she wants it to her bottom, and two weeks later they'll probably cut it again. Vo wasn't responsible for her hair over the last few years but is trying to fix it now!'
