According to the Press Association, The Apprentice stars Philip Taylor and Kate Walsh are engaged.

Kate has apparently been showing off a £3,000 engagement ring which the pair chose together at a jewellers in London.

A source is quoted by the PA as saying, “They are very much in love and this was always more than a work fling. Neither of them wanted to split.

“Once the show aired they were reminded of how well they had got on and Phil picked up the phone. They were back in each other’s arms within days and now it looks like they will have each other for life.

“Phil had been known as a womaniser but Kate has ended all that. He loves her to bits and is smitten.”

Kate, who was runner-up on The Apprentice, lost out on a job with Sir Alan to Yasmina Siadatan.
