ITV presenter Alex Beresford has announced he is engaged to his girlfriend Imogen McKay.

He proposed on New Year's Day while they were on holiday in Majorca.

Beresford, 41, and McKay, 29, have been dating since August 2020 and said they "hit it off from the start".

Beresford told Hello! magazine: “I’d been on my own for a while and was ready for a new relationship. But I was adamant I didn’t want to try a dating website.

“I’m of an age where before social media, you met a girl, took her phone number and called to invite her out.”

McKay works in e-commerce operations at The River Cafe in London. 

Beresford described the “amazing moment” when he popped the question to McKay while they were walking along the beach in Majorica.

He said: “The weather was sunny and warm, and the sea was crystal clear. ‘This is it,’ I thought.

“Imogen’s not one for taking photos, but as I persuaded her to pose for a picture overlooking the sea, I kneeled down to take the engagement ring I’d hidden inside my rucksack.

“When she turned around, I was on one knee, and asked her the biggest question of my life – and she said yes. It was an amazing moment.”

The couple will get married in Majorca in September and Beresford's 12-year-old son, Cruz, will be the ring bearer and best man. 

Cruz is from Beresford's previous marriage with Natalia Natkaniec.
