She told Hello! at the time: ‘I get emotional. Because it’s been such an amazing year. I feel very lucky. I’ve had such incredible opportunities – GBBO opened so many doors – and to top it off he puts a ring on it.

He reached into the glove compartment, got out the ring, got down on one knee and said, ‘I love you, you are my world. Will you marry me?’ 

Liam continued: ‘So I proposed in a car park. But it really meant something to us. Candice just cried for five minutes before she could say, ‘Yes!”

Candice grew up in a pub run by her parents in North London, and last year opened her own tavern, The Green Man in the scenic village of Eversholt, Bedfordshire.

The star previously admitted she will be taking a leaf out of Dame Barbara Windsor’s EastEnders landlady of the Queen Vic Peggy Mitchell book when it comes to pub management.

The baker claimed she is ‘dying’ to use Peggy’s famous words ‘Get out of my pub’ when tossing out any rowdy customers. 

She told BANG Showbiz: ‘I’ve just bought a pub, I want to do the best Sunday lunches, and comforting, warming and hearty food.

‘I’m an ambassador for Love British Food, so I work with the farmers to promote that seasonal and local produce is when food is at its best.

‘It’s called The Green Man in Eversholt, I’m hoping it will be open in mid-February, it’s so exciting. I was brought up in pubs with my brother and I want this to be a real family affair.’

Candice’s husband Liam threw his support behind his wife’s business venture, and her brother Ben and his girlfriend Sophie also got on board.

She added: ‘It’s been a real family affair. A real baptism of fire but it’s going to be amazing. I got it with my brother Ben, so his girlfriend Sophie is involved too.’
