If you thought Prince Harry getting down on on knee over a roast chicken was the cutest engagement story you've heard this year, we've just found a contender.

And it comes in the form of Kaley Cuoco's reaction to her boyfriend, Karl Cook's proposal.

In a video uploaded to Instagram earlier this morning, the Big Bang Theory actress can be seen in floods of tears as she tries to get her head around the fact she's engaged.

Clearly overwhelmed, the actress had to be reminded to reply to the big question after dissolving into tears.

"Well after nearly two years I finally got up the courage to ask her to marry me. This is the best night of my life and I think the video shows it is the best night for kaley as well," Karl wrote in a caption alongside the video.

Sharing the same video on her own account, Kaley wrote: "Still crying. every part of this night has been perfection just like you @mrtankcook I love you forever!"

Karl went on to share a shot of the ring he chose for his wife-to-be, writing: "I am so so so happy."

"Thank you @nadis_diamonds for making the greatest ring I could hope for. Absolutely brilliant. Thank you thank you."

In the aftermath of the proposal, Kaley and Karl shared their first dance as an engaged couple, and we'll be honest, the romance is nearly sending us over the edge.

"In life, there is nothing like dancing right after getting engaged," Karl wrote alongside the footage.

"The purity and grace of the moment are inexplicable, it is truly as though life were a balloon bouncing on the smoothest zephyr. Honey; all I want is to be a balloon bouncing, bobbing, and flowing through life together. You are my everything."

And yes, we ARE crying. What of it?

At this stage, most of us know that the dynamic within Girls Aloud was a little awkward at times.

While they all started out as earnest young wannabes back in 2002, their rise to fame saw a shift in allegiances among group members.

Rumours abound that Nadine and Cheryl often clashed while Sarah was regularly seen as the outsider of the group, and it looks like a recent post on Cheryl's Instagram page may finally confirm that.

Celebrating the 15-year anniversary of the band's formation, the mum-of-one chose to share a photo of herself alongside Nicola and Kimberley.

While both Nicola and Kimberley were given a lengthy tribute, Nadine and Sarah got little more than a mere tag.

"Crazy how time flies. 15 years ago today some of the best, craziest years of my life were just beginning. I had no idea what a life journey I was starting out on," she began.

"We had some of the most amazing times of our lives and made some incredible pop moments to put the cherry on top."

 

Sitting here drinking coffee with these two and watching babies 15 years later !!! Crazy how time flies…15 years ago today some of the best, craziest years of my life were just beginning. I had no idea what a life journey I was starting out on. We had some of the most amazing times of our lives and made some incredible pop moments to put the cherry on top In the end I left with these two amazing, inspiring gorgeous souls and the best friends anyone could ever ask for. You blessed me and I will never be able to thank you enough for the support, love and loyalty you brought to our group. I am so proud of what we achieved together. Love you all @lilcola @kimberleywalshofficial @nadinecoyle @sarahnicoleharding Thank you#Girlsaloud15

So far, so good, but th rest of the post has left Girls Aloud fans in no doubt that there is little love lost between Cheryl, Nadine and Sarah.

Referring to Nicola and Kimberley, Cheryl continued: "In the end I left with these two amazing, inspiring gorgeous souls and the best friends anyone could ever ask for."

"You blessed me and I will never be able to thank you enough for the support, love and loyalty you brought to our group. I am so proud of what we achieved together."

Fans were quick to notice the disparity, with one writing; "She has only specified 2 but tagged them all – nadine and sarah haven't made the cut."

Others jumped to Cheryl's defence, with one social media user writing:"They shouldn't be attacked for being closer to each other than the others."

"Like I said, they mentioned the other two to show that they haven't forgotten they were apart of it to. I'm sorry but I've seen both nadine and sarah post things and crop the other three out, so cut these three some slack."

Cheryl's post has amassed almost 175,000 likes since yesterday.

Ladies, if you're anything like us, your night is going to be dedicated to all things magical.

With this year's Late Late Toy Show hitting our screens in mere hours, we can think of little else other than roaring fires, cosy pyjamas and what this year's theme might be.

Thankfully, when it comes to the latter, we need wonder no longer!

The theme of this year’s Late Late Toy Show has finally been revealed as host Ryan Tubridy and a cast of hundreds get ready for the biggest night on Irish television.

Together they will be diving under the sea as the theme of this year’s show takes inspiration from the classic Disney animated film The Little Mermaid!

Commenting on the annual extravaganza, Ryan said: “This is going to be really special."

"I have wanted to do The Little Mermaid for the Toy Show for years and, at last, my ship has come in!"

"I can honestly say that it is like nothing you have ever seen on the show before and I think people are really going to enjoy it. There’s something in it for absolutely everyone in the family."

"My costume is a sight to behold but I am loving everything about this year's opening. I invite everyone to forget about the flotsam and jetsam of modern life, come where the people are and be part of our world for a couple of hours tonight. It’s going to be great fun."

The Late Late Toy Show will air tonight at 9.35 on RTÉ 1.
