Model Jodie Kidd has announced she is engaged to Middlewich's David Blakeley.

The former soldier, 34, who attended Middlewich Primary School, left the army in 2006 and has since written an account of his time in the special forces.

David proposed to Jodie, 35, on the shores of a lake in Rajasthan. 

He told Hello! magazine: "I've never felt like this before. I knew it was different from the moment I met Jodie.

"I am feeling really excited and over the moon."

Jodie added: "It's absolutely brilliant. We are totally chuffed and on cloud nine."

The pair first met in November.
