Dan Hipgrave, guitarist with Eastbourne's Toploader, is to marry television presenter Gail Porter.

The couple announced their engagement at the Bafta awards ceremony last night after exchanging rings on Sunday.

The announcement follows a whirlwind romance between the pair, who met at the Q Awards three months ago.

Dan said: "She is a top girl and we just clicked instantly. We're really happy."

The news may make up for Toploader's disappointing show at the Brits.

The group, best known for their single Dancing In The Moonlight, were nominated for Best British Group and Best British Newcomers.

But they left last night's London ceremony empty-handed after being pipped at the post by Coldplay and A1.
