Jess added of Zeb’s Ibiza proposal: “We went there on a private jet which was just crazy!
“I asked him to get some videos of me for Instagram so I was just there posing away on the edge of a cliff, and then I turned around and he got down on one knee! I was like, ‘Oh my God, are you joking? Are you pranking me? Is this a real ring?’
“I didn’t get emotional at all and then about three days later I started crying when it sank in.”
Jess, who is mum to Presley, aged three, told how Zeb had “saved her in so many ways” in the aftermath of her split with Dan, with whom she was engaged for three years.

She said: “When things are going wrong, it’s hard to pick yourself up and picture anything else, but I 100 per cent believe that even the bad things you go through in life are things falling apart so better things can come together.”
The split came after Jess suffered a devastating miscarriage during her second pregnancy.
