Prior to the proposal, Mollie had admitted she was nervous about Stuart jetting off to Sri Lanka to play for England amid the ongoing pandemic. 

She wrote on Instagram: ‘So it’s 2021! If you’re anything like me you might be going into this year feeling a bit anxious and uncertain. 

‘I often get the January blues and this year is going to be especially tough with everything that’s going on.

‘@stuartbroad also goes away tomorrow with cricket which is always a mix of feeling excited for him but knowing I’m going to miss him so much.’
