Former Made In Chelsea star Cheska Hull reveals engagement to Damian Crook after whirlwind romance

Cheska Hull has revealed she is engaged to partner Damian Crook.

The former Made In Chelsea star revealed the happy news on Instagram on Monday, where she shared how Damian got down on one knee on June 2 on her 38th birthday.

Their engagement comes amid a whirlwind romance with Cheska – who first rose to fame on the E4 reality show in 2011 – after meeting Damian during school run last year.

The ex-reality TV star, who has since shunned the spotlight, shared some snaps of her celebrating her engagement, featuring a close-up of her perfect hand with her dazzling new diamond ring.

Captioning the snap, she wrote, “I said yes! Obvs! I love you @pacrook1 and can’t wait to be your wife! xxx.’

Another image saw the beauty posing alongside her former co-star and best friend, Ollie Locke, with Cheska gushing, “Celebrating my @pacrook1 engagement with my best friends @ollielockeworld @holbolbot @indoanniejones @fran_newmanyoung xxx @thestaffordlondon.”

Cheska also uploaded a compilation video set to the Pointer Sisters’ song I’m So Excited from the “best weekend ever” celebrating her birthday and engagement to her loved ones.

The PR lives a private life on the South Devon coast with her son Charlie, five, and Damian.

Her beau has two teenage daughters and a son of her own.

Cheska only started dating her now-fiancé last year after shutting eyes on a playground while they ran the school.

She talked about their first meeting in an interview with Closer magazine earlier this year: “I remember waiting to pick up my son at the playground. I looked back and thought, “That’s the kind of guy I should be with.”

“I didn’t know if he was married or what the situation was, I just thought, ‘Oh, he looks beautiful. I wish I was with someone like that.’ The rest is history.’

The PR-and-artist divorced Charlie’s father Tom Huggett before he was born in 2017.

Of her low-key coastal lifestyle, Cheska says her life is “so different” from her past, but equally “amazing.”

And she credits her move south to her family, noting that she “probably wouldn’t have my son today” if she hadn’t left.

Cheska has gone from a single mother to a household full of love and children. She joked that they’re like the “Von Trapp family,” before insisting she’s “never been happier.”

Cheska was part of the original Made In Chelsea cast alongside Ollie Locke and Binky Felstead before leaving in shock in 2014.

Reflecting on her time on the series, Cheska recalled struggling with fame, loneliness, and trolling during her three-year stint, talking about how she “couldn’t go anywhere without people saying horrible things.”

While seemingly enjoying a fun and A-list lifestyle amongst the posh Chelsea set, in reality life in the capital left Cheska “depressed and struggling”, with the star forced to leave London for the sake of her mental health.

In her interview Closer magazineCheska opened up about her time on the show feeling “alone” and being “typecast,” sharing that she’s now happier than ever in her blended family.

She said of her time on the show, “I had lost my life. I couldn’t go anywhere without people saying horrible things. It was all-encompassing, but no one was there to talk about it. I just felt very alone.

“I had a long-term boyfriend while I was on Made In Chelsea, but they always said I was single. You play a part, even if it is not written. They will characterize you: Binky really is the girl next door. Ollie is the gay best friend. I was kind of the single Bridget Jones, even though I wasn’t single. It has to be real, but then you can’t show your real sides.’

The former TV star further revealed that when she and her friends first started on the show, they “had no idea what we were doing,” with Cheska even having to set up Binky on social media after the first episode.
