'Apprentice' winner Stella English is to tie the knot with her scaffolder boyfriend.

The 31-year-old businesswoman has revealed her partner Ray Dewar popped the question after she finished filming the BBC1 show, which saw her hired by multi-millionaire tycoon Lord Alan Sugar on a lucrative £100,000-per-year salary on Sunday (19.12.10).

She told The Sun newspaper: "We're engaged. We haven't had time to plan because of the show. We'll think over Christmas. He's a great partner and really supportive.

The former investment banker recently admitted she was proud of the fact that she had managed to turn her life around and win 'The Apprentice', despite having a troubled upbringing.

After landing the job with Lord Sugar, she said: "It's almost unbelievable that this could have happened to a girl like me. It's inspired me even though I'm the person who has done it. If you really believe in something then you can achieve anything."
