Kemi Rodgers, the charismatic host of I’m A Celebrity: Unpacked, has delighted fans by announcing her engagement to boyfriend Thomas Hannett. The touching proposal took place during their recent trip to Australia, where Kemi was filming the popular show.
The 30-year-old radio presenter revealed the exciting news over the weekend with a heartfelt Instagram post, featuring a series of photos highlighting her sparkling engagement ring. One image captures Kemi’s radiant smile as she proudly displays her hand, while another shows the happy couple enjoying their time down under.
Kemi, who co-hosts the spin-off show alongside Joel Dommett, was present in Australia for the entire duration of the series—from November 19 to December 7—culminating in a win for YouTube star Angryginge.

Accompanying her post, Kemi simply wrote, “I said yes.”
The announcement quickly attracted a wave of congratulations from friends and fellow celebrities. Coronation Street actor Colson Smith commented, “Congratulations Kemi!” while Capital FM’s Sian Welby expressed her excitement with, “OMGGGG INCREDIBLE.” Former X Factor contestant Sam Lavery chimed in with a joyful, “OMG YESSSSS,” and presenter Jordan North added, “OMG! Congratulations guys.”
Thomas Hannett, a senior producer at Capital, and Kemi had only recently made their relationship public in September, sharing photos from a romantic getaway to Paris. Prior to that, the couple had kept their relationship largely private.
In a playful Instagram video from their Paris trip, Kemi and Thomas were seen enjoying a casual meal together, syncing with a popular TikTok audio clip. When asked, “Are you happy to be in Paris?” Thomas mimed along, and Kemi responded with a cheerful “Oui.” She captioned the clip, “Wine drunk in Paris and thought the best way to hard launch my boyfriend on the grid was with the iconic Nicki Minaj ‘oui’ video loooooool,” adding, “Full bottle of Sancerre in the sun truly is the key to my heart.”
Fans and friends flooded the comments with warm wishes, celebrating the happy news. One friend remarked, “The hard launch we’ve all been waiting for,” while another simply said, “Finally.”
Last year, Kemi joined forces with Sam Thompson and Joel Dommett to present the I’m A Celebrity spin-off, Unpacked, reviving the companion show format four years after Extra Camp was cancelled.
