LISA Appleton is engaged to a fan after just months of dating and has shown off a big rock on her finger after he popped the question.
The Big Brother star, 57, was snapped out and about this week flaunting the sparkler and we’re told the proposal came at just the right time.
An insider told The Sun: “Lisa was in an on and off relationship for a number of years but had been single for a while.
“Over the last few months she has been with a new man.
“She actually met him some time ago – he is a huge fan of hers – but it only recently turned romantic.
“They get on really well. It’s lovely.
“Lisa is nearly 60 so she doesn’t want to waste any time and when he popped the question she decided to just go for it.”
The source added: “She was really fed up being on her own and just thinks life is too short.
“She’s super happy and very excited about this next chapter in her life.”
Lisa shot to fame on the ninth series of Big Brother in 2008 when she and boyfriend Mario Marconi became the first ever couple to enter the house together.
Mario, 60, popped the question during their time on the show and they tied the knot in 2010.
But after eight years together he and Lisa went their separate ways.
Lisa recently showed off her impressive 1.5 stone weight loss when she stripped to a bikini for some sizzling new snaps.
