COMEDIANS Marcus Brigstocke and Rachel Parris are engaged, telling The Sun Online: “We’re very happy.”
The Mash Report star Rachel, 34, flashed her sparkling ring to comedy fans at a gig last night as she performed alongside 45-year-old fiance Marcus.
She explained: “We were both doing stand-up sets and mentioned it. Yes we’re engaged. We’re very happy and excited.”
Rachel, who went viral last year with her Mash Report segment mocking Piers Morgan’s interview with Donald Trump, added: “Happy to confirm he put a ring on it.”
The pair performed one after the other at the Always Be Comedy night in south London, where they both joked about getting hitched.
Rachel and Marcus got together in the wake of his split from Coronation Street star Hayley Tamaddon – who he left his wife Sophie for.
He and the soap star got together while touring in the Monty Python musical Spamalot.
The comedian later admitted: “There are things I feel ashamed of. I am now a person who had an affair.
“I said to my wife this is what happened and I’m very sorry. We tried to put things back together but it became clear it wasn’t going to work.”
Marcus is a regular guest on current affairs panel show Have I Got News For You, appeared on The Jump and currently stars in the Experian adverts.
