Despite audiences desperate for the Channel 4 duo to rekindle their romance, Chris has said "yes" to his long-term pruner Tony Butland and has shared a cracking snap of his lavish new ring on Twitter.
The Brighton hairdresser was whisked away to the top of the Eiffel Tower, where his boyfriend popped the question.
They then shared an adorable picture of themselves toasting the happy news with a glass of bubbly.
"It's official! I can't sing Beyonce anymore thanks to @Tony_Butland x" Stephen posted online to a legion of elated followers.

But viewers may have hoped for an alternate happy ending as it wasn't so long ago that Chris and his Gogglebox co-star Stephen were snuggling on the sofa as a smitten couple themselves.
Thankfully, Gogglebox's most hilarious double act remain on the best terms and still have audiences in stitches with their impeccably timed quips every week.
In an interview with WhatsonTV, Chris and Steve admitted Gogglebox played a huge part in their break up - despite continuing to star in the show.

"We realised that our opinions are quite different, and the show did highlight that," explained Stephen. "And I did feel when I watched it back that I almost pick on him, and I didn’t like that feeling. And I thought as a friend it’s more acceptable to be like that, but as lovers, no, it didn’t work."
And Chris wasn't the only Goggleboxer to put a ring on it today as Eve Woerdenweber also broke news of her engagement on social media earlier - but not to Silent Jay.
