Former Pop Idol runner-up Gareth Gates is to marry his long-term girlfriend, he has announced.
The singer, who scored number one hits with Spirit In The Sky and Anyone of Us (Stupid Mistake), proposed to dancer Suzanne Mole on New Year's Eve.
"We are both extremely happy and look forward to planning our wedding and life together," said Gates.
The Bradford-born singer is rumoured to be among the contestants on the next series of ITV1's Dancing On Ice.
