Costello shared the happy news on social media at the time, posting a photo showing off her engagement ring.

In her announcement, she wrote: "There's so little good news in the world right now... I hope you don't mind me sharing some of my own. I said YES."

The proposal came during what has been a successful period in Costello's broadcasting career.

Friends and colleagues have been sharing their congratulations with the happy couple following Saturday's ceremony.

Costello is a regular presenter on GB News, where she co-hosts the weekend breakfast show alongside Stephen Dixon.

She also appears on the station's weekly breakfast programme with Eamonn Holmes.

Before joining GB News, Costello built her journalism career at the BBC.

She previously worked at the BBC World Service, gaining valuable broadcasting experience at the international news operation.

Costello later moved to the Victoria Derbyshire programme and is now a fixture on GB News, where she has become a familiar face to viewers of the channel.
