Just minutes later former Sky Sports presenter Thompson told her Twitter followers: "This just in... @AinslieBen and I are getting married! Couldn't be happier. Suspect the honeymoon may involve a boat.. :) (sic)".

Sir Ainslie and Thompson, both 37, started dating in April 2013 after meeting through friends at an event. Previously speaking about their relationship, the latter said: "It was a bit of a thunderbolt moment but a thunderbolt that took years before it became anything real.

"We were in different places but then in April the stars aligned and it made sense to be together, and we haven't looked back since. It's very special – he makes me very happy."
