She announced he had popped the question on New Year’s Day but the couple then had to spend two months apart while he played cricket in Sri Lanka.

And Mollie King and her fiancé Stuart Broad, 34, were making up for lost time as they happily toasted their engagement on Thursday.

The Saturdays singer, 33, looked completely loved-up as she beamed a smile while holding onto her glass of fizz in a radiant selfie with her beau.

Mollie wrapped up warm for the al fresco celebration donning a chic beige jacket and accessorising with some stylish gold hoop earrings.

The blonde beauty wore her locks down and styled into loose waves before adding a full face of makeup to complete her look.

Stuart, who opted for a beer instead of bubbles for the engagement toast, also cut a dapper figure in a smart jacket over a navy zip-up jumper.

Sharing the snap to Instagram, Mollie wrote: ‘Out celebrating our engagement! It may be a little late but it felt like such a treat to eat out and we loved every minute!’

Mollie announced her engagement to her cricketer beau Stuart on New Year’s Day when she shared a snap of them kissing on a wintry countryside walk.

The pair have been an on-off item since 2012 but have been dating steadily since the start of 2019 leading up to their engagement. 

The couple finally reunited last month after Stuart spent 10 weeks abroad on tour with the England cricket team in Sri Lanka, India.

Stuart sweetly planted a kiss on his smiling fiancée’s cheek as they enjoyed their reunion. 

And although now reunited, Mollie told MailOnline that she and Stuart are ‘taking it slow’ planning their wedding amid the ongoing Covid pandemic.

Speaking in March, Mollie said: ‘We haven’t booked a date yet. It’s only been the last couple of weeks we have heard announcements about weddings [by the government].

‘I am just grateful and lucky that I am with him and engaged. We don’t have to do this right now. I dream of getting married to him, and want to put a date in, and I’m having so much fun [thinking about it] but we are taking it slowly.

 ‘We need to be careful with all the guidelines and stuff.’

This hasn’t stopped Mollie from spit-balling ideas for the big day.

‘I am having fun creating mood boards. I can’t help it! I do it on Instagram, I am so excited. I post things about destinations and dresses.’

This suggests The Saturdays star is looking to travel abroad to tie the knot as she hunts for the perfect ‘destination’ for the nuptials.

Of Stuart, 34, flying across the world to play cricket the day after he popped the question, Mollie admitted ‘it was tough’.  

She added: ‘I was on cloud nine and then he had to leave the next day. It was a whirlwind – in the best possible way! That was tough. Now he’s back home though we are getting started with plans. But it was a unique situation.’
