AJ Pritchard Confirms Engagement After On-Stage Slip-Up at Charity Film Awards

Must read

Strictly Come Dancing star AJ Pritchard was unexpectedly thrust into the spotlight at the Smiley Charity Film Awards when he was prompted to confirm his engagement after an impromptu question from host Lisa Snowdon.

The former Strictly professional, 29, was on stage presenting an award when Snowdon surprised him with a cheeky query about ongoing engagement rumours. Caught off guard, AJ nervously laughed before hesitantly responding, “Errmm… no,” but quickly followed up with a beaming confirmation: “But my fiancée is in the room, somewhere out there with a lovely ring on, so we are not officially out there, but now we’re officially out there.”

The crowd erupted into applause, with both AJ and Lisa shouting, “This is an exclusive!” as the sweet moment unfolded. Embracing the reveal, AJ added, “And I will now post the video of me and my lovely fiancée in Hyde Park getting engaged. It’s very romantic, it’s very cute. It’s out there now, Zara, wherever you are.”

The surprise didn’t end there. AJ’s brother, Love Island star Curtis Pritchard, later joined the stage and joked about the engagement being unveiled so spontaneously. “I love that it’s ‘fiancée,’” he said. “I find it wild saying that to be fair knowing that he’s going to get married now. He was trying to keep it a secret but everyone knows.”

Lisa, clearly amused, replied, “I don’t know how I found out, I’m such a spoiler,” while Curtis reassured her, “No, I thought it was great.”

The night may have taken an unexpected turn, but the joyful atmosphere and cheers from the crowd proved it was a reveal well-received.
