Vanessa on ‘dream’ proposal
Dancing on Ice star Vanessa and James recently discussed their proposal with OK! Magazine. Vanessa said: “It was such a dream. I’ve wanted to skate on the frozen lakes my whole life, so it was just the perfect place to get engaged.”
James also shared that he knew he wanted to marry Vanessa for over a year. He revealed: “We went to Lapland a year ago and I knew then that I wanted to marry Vanessa.
“I started planning it on the flight home. After that, I had to keep deleting things about the engagement from my phone. I had to keep my tracks clean for a long time.”
