It’s the kind of grand, romantic gesture you’d only expect in the movies. But for TV presenter Caroline Flack, 38, the fairytale has officially come true. The Love Island host recently revealed her engagement to The Apprentice contender Andrew Brady, 27 – after just 12 weeks of dating. But not everyone is convinced by Andrew’s sweet gesture. Some have slammed the engagement for being too quick. ‘We’ve kept bread longer than they’ve been together,’ one person joked. Caroline isn’t the only celebrity to say yes in haste. Actress Sheridan Smith, 36, got engaged to her boyfriend of three months Jamie Horn, 28. And there’s Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who dated for 16 months before getting engaged. But can whirlwind romances ever last?
