AFTER claiming that he’d use his I’m A Celeb earnings to buy an engagement ring for his model girlfriend Kirstie Brittain, James McVey proposed on a romantic trip in the Lake District.
But who is the woman who has stolen The Vamps’ musician’s heart?
Kirstie Brittain, 23, is an Environment, Politics + Society student currently at UCL in London.
She’s also an up and coming model signed with the prestigious Storm Models Management agency.
With over 40,000 followers on Instagram you can keep up with some of the shoots she’s been on with BTS shots on her social media page.
According to her social media handles Kirstie is very passionate about the environment, with her personal website saying she has a ‘desire to spread awareness and knowledge of climate change’
The pair have been together for a few years, splitting up in 2014 before getting back together a year later.
In 2014, fans tagged James in a picture which appeared to show Kirstie kissing someone else.
Speaking about the incident later on, James admitted the pair weren’t technically together at the time.
He told the Mirror: “In hindsight, I really, really feel for her, because she was 19, she’d never been in a relationship, and I’d just had a difficult kind of relationship with an ex girlfriend, and I think it was that weird territory of I thought something more was happening than she thought. “She was quite scared, and we weren’t technically together. I jumped the gun, I was really excited, so I think I kind of was probably quite emotionally immature back then, and I really feel for her, because she got a lot of negative press around that, but we weren’t even officially together.”
