The happy couple are expected to wed next year.

Wynne shared snaps of the happy occasion and told fans: “Big news… I got engaged!

“This weekend in Morocco, somewhere between the couscous, the camels, and me limping around the souks like a man with no spatial awareness, I proposed to Liz — and she said yes! (No take-backs, I’ve checked.)

“She’s clever, she’s kind, she’s got excellent taste in men. Absolutely no idea how I pulled that off, but here we are!

“Feeling very lucky, very happy, and just a tiny bit smug.”

A source told The Sun: “It has been a tumultuous six months for Wynne but Liz has been his absolute rock throughout.

“Finally some wonderful news for Wynne and his inner circle to celibate and everyone is chuffed for them both.

“He secretly bought an engagement ring and squirrelled it away for their holiday, and then popped the question over champagne.
