You might want to put your sunglasses on before looking at Montana Brown’s engagement ring, because it’s a real sparkler!
The Love Island star, 27, announced earlier this month that she and boyfriend Mark O’Connor were getting married.
Mark – whose relationship with Montana became public in October 2021 – popped the question while on their babymoon, as the couple are also expecting their first child.
Now, the reality TV favourite has given fans a close-up of the dazzling rock on her finger – and we’re pretty sure you wouldn’t find anything like this inside a Christmas cracker.
Taking to Instagram, she uploaded a series of snaps from the day Mark got down on one knee.
In the first, she lovingly places her ring hand on his face as he smiles down at her and, in the second, they share a sweet kiss.

The third snap was taken during their romantic evening meal on the beach, where Montana showcased her ring in all its glory.
Joking about her husband-to-be’s attrire, Montana captioned her post: ‘stuck with me now… HA 💍 also only Mark would wear a hoodie on engagement day 😆’
Taking to the comments to admire her new jewellery, one fan praised Mark for choosing the ‘mountain’ she not wears.
‘Mark did great with that mountain on your hand girl he can wear a hoodie for life ❤️ so happy for you angel girl xxx’, they commented.
‘Wowwwww that ring ❤️’, added another stunned follower.
Another drooled: ‘That ring though 😍😍😍’
Montana was also met with a wealth of congratulatory messages from fellow stars.
Tasha Ghouri commented heart eye emoji, while Danielle Lloyd wrote: ‘Beautiful 😍 congratulations darling ❤️’
First announcing her engagement online a few weeks ago, Montana shared the most gorgeous picture of Mark getting down on one knee during their getaway.
In a later post, she hailed him the ‘love of my life’, adding that she ‘can’t wait’ to marry her ‘best friend’.
The influencer – who appeared on Love Island in 2017 – and ex-rugby player grew especially close during the second Covid-19 lockdown.

Answering questions on Instagram, she revealed: ‘This was planned, however, I didn’t realise for ages that I was pregnant, because we were trying earlier on in the year and it wasn’t happening.’
In another video, Montana explained being ‘over the moon’ and ‘overjoyed’ when she found out she was pregnant, thinking that it wasn’t ‘that likely’ and Mark had to convince her to take the pregnancy test.
