They made their first public engagement on Tuesday night but just a few hours earlier Millie Mackintosh was admiring her new rock on the streets of Paris, with her doting new fiancé Professor Green.

The pair were seen strolling around the streets of The City of Lights savouring the first few moments of their engagement together.

Millie was seen gazing at her husband-to-be with her arm looped through his leaving her dazzling diamond ring on show.

She was dressed suitably stylish in a zebra print coat and a fedora hat and the rapper had also smartened up for the occasion.

Pro Green, real name Stephen Manderson, looked sharp in a navy coat buttoned up to the collar.

Just a few hours later the pair were back in London celebrating their happy news with friends atEsquire's Big Black Book launch party at restaurant Sushi Samba in The Heron Tower.

An overjoyed Millie, 23, told MailOnline that the Hackney rapper, 29, had 'picked the perfect ring'.

Gushing as she spoke about her ring, Millie said: 'It's a radiant setting, it's so sparkly and it's big but too big to wear everyday.'

On Monday evening the reality TV star tweeted a snap of her dazzling engagement ring by Frost of London.

Designed by Pro Green himself the ring is made up of a large rock set on fashionable double bands encrusted with diamonds.

The bespoke ring was made to the rapper's specification and comes in at just under 3 carats.

Proud of her man's taste she continued: 'He's picked the perfect ring, it's really classy and just me.'

When asked when the wedding would take place the Made In Chelsea star added: 'I'm not putting any pressure on it. I'm not thinking about that right now, I'm just going to enjoy being engaged.'

The couple have been dating for over a year, after the rapper - real name Stephen Manderson - became enamoured by the reality star when he saw her cover shoot for FHM two years ago.

By the end of 2011 he had her number and they debuted their unlikely relationship at the BRIT Awards 2012 ceremony.

The Read All About It rapper's response to Millie's acceptance to his proposal on Tuesday was just two words on Twitter: 'Happy days.'

However, the typically jovial chart-topper did send his sympathies to two Hollywood starlets who would undoubtedly be rather disappointed by his new relationship status.

He tweeted: 'Someone's gonna have to break the news to Jessica Alba and Eva Mendez (sic)'.

While Millie stressed she's not quite thinking about booking a venue or buying hats, she did let slip plans for an engagement party and said she had a red Givenchy dress already picked out.

Revealing more details about how Green popped the question inside her favourite Parisian restaurant, Millie added: 'We were in a restaurant in Paris and it was empty it was just the two of us.

'It wasn't in front of a whole dining room.'

The reality star was glowing with happiness, and inside Esquire's party, which was sponsored by Johnnie Walker Gold Label Reserve, Millie excitedly showed the Frost Of London ring off to partygoers and former MIC co-star Amber Atherton, while Pro Green played the attentive fiance rarely leaving her side all evening.

Former MIC starlet Amber Atherton, wearing a Rag & Bone dress, squealed with delight when she saw the Quality Street heiress' ring, and listened intently as Millie shared details with her of how Pro Green popped the question.
