Jonny Mitchell has found the girl version of himself to spend the rest of his life with.

The former Love Island star announced his engagement to girlfriend Danielle Zarb-Cousin on Sunday night, saying he knew from the first time they met that he would marry her.

Jonny, who has been dating Danielle for less than a year, whisked the model away to Switzerland for a romantic proposal with a huge diamond ring this weekend.

Confirming the news on Instagram, Jonny wrote: I probably wouldve proposed to her within the first month of knowing her if it wasnt totally weird!

Shes basically the girl version of me and gets me in every way humanly possible… Shes a beautiful, caring soul inside and out…

Shes there for me through thick and thin and puts up with all my crap.. and now shes my fiancée and I couldnt be happier ?❤

Jonny and Danielle are currently taking a Christmas road trip across Europe but stopped in the Swiss mountains where the reality star got down on one knee at the Villa Honegg hotel.

Of the romantic proposal, Jonny told OK! magazine: I arranged a photographer to basically hide in the bushes and capture it all with the mountains in the background.

Danielle reacted as I hoped and was over the moon, and luckily said yes! Were both feeling amazing now, and just enjoying the rest of our time away with each other.

Jonnys fiancee similarly couldnt wait to share the news, taking to Instagram with a picture from the pool with the words: Were engaged!! I get to marry my best friend @jonny_mitchell1991.

Id choose you; in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality, Id find you and Id choose you ? Wow what a magical day.

Jonny, who split from MICs Stephanie Pratt last December, is believed to have met Danielle in February, shortly after his stint on Celebrity Big Brother.

He whisked her away on a romantic trip to the Maldives within a month of dating her and 10 months later theyre engaged to be married.

Jonny previously proposed to ex-girlfriend Lauren Baxter in Bali – before he found fame on Love Island – but ended their romance while they were planning a wedding.

He was similarly unlucky in love on the ITV2 reality show where he dumped Camilla Thurlow to be with Tyla Carr before ultimately getting dumped himself.

Outside the villa, Camilla is still happily dating Jamie Jewitt while Tyla has just welcomed her first child.
