Former I'm A Celebrity contestant Iain Lee has announced his engagement to long-term girlfriend Katherine Boyle. The 52-year-old comedian and radio star proposed on August 12 during a holiday at Lake Como, Italy.
Lee shared the news on Instagram, posting a photo of the couple moments after the proposal. He wrote: 'In case you're wondering, as I'm sure everyone is, I proposed to @katherine_e_boyle on August 12th on Lake Como and for some strange reason she said yes.' He added that they received a 'tepid round of applause' from a bystander.
The couple met in 2012 while working at BBC Three Counties Radio. Lee has credited Boyle with helping him through a mental breakdown, describing her as 'a remarkable human being'. He also has two sons from his previous marriage to journalist Helena Wilkinson.
Lee rose to fame as host of The 11 O'Clock Show and finished third on I'm A Celebrity in 2017. He later stepped away from broadcasting to qualify as a counsellor, launching Iain Lee Counselling in late 2022.
