Jessica Simpson's fiance hid the engagement ring he proposed to her with in a shoe in the weeks before he asked her to marry him.

According to Us Magazine, the singer, in an interview on US radio channel Sirius XM, said that her husband-to-be, NFL player Eric Johnson, had concealed the before going down on one knee – and had pre-warned her family, including younger sister and pop star Ashlee Simpson-Wentz.

She also revealed that he made her pause the television programme she was watching at the time but was insistent that he showed her something when she complained.

Kate Middleton is wearing a diamond engagement ring after Prince William proposed to her on holiday in Kenya.

The royal, who had his girlfriend's father's approval, popped the question last month while the pair were away.

Having met eight years ago as students at St Andrews University, the couple have been photographed together on numerous occasions including on holiday, at William's RAF graduation ceremony and at a recent friend's wedding – which they arrived at together rather than attending separately, as is tradition.

David Cameron, who spoke to the prince before announcing the news in a cabinet meeting, said: "This is incredibly exciting news and I am sure the whole country will want to pass on their congratulations."

It is not yet known when exactly the couple will be marrying, but a statement from Clarence House confirms the event will be in the spring or summer of 2011.
