Zara Holland: Former Miss Great Britain is engaged!

After a turbulent 2021 when she only narrowly avoided jail time for having breached COVID rules, the former Love Island star seems to have found lasting love with long-time beau, Elliott Love.

Romantic proposal in Dubai

The 26-year-old beauty queen took to social media to announce her official engagement and seems to be happier than ever. In the post, Holland can be seen wearing a bridal-inspired cocktail number flaunting her engagement ring in what appears to be a party to celebrate her forthcoming nuptials with Love. A source close to the couple spoke to MailOnline to reveal:

Zara is over the moon to be engaged to Elliott. She went on Love Island years ago to find the man of her dreams—and meeting Elliott came just at the right time.

Adding that:

Elliott proposed in the most perfect way in Dubai, and they couldn't be happier, now they're just excited to start planning their big day.

The right fit for Zara

The former Islander has spoken in the past about why she knew Elliott was the right guy for her. She explained having gone through many moments in which men she met only wanted to get with her because they had seen her on TV before. She explained:

When I did just come out the villa and I was on nights out or at public appearances guys would be like 'Can I buy Zara from Love Island a drink?' But he just likes me for me which was so refreshing.

Before adding:

We're very happy together and have such a great time. He is absolutely amazing and he's definitely The One.
