The pair got engaged in January after the former MotoGP star - who quit the sport in September 2011 after breaking both his wrists - proposed.

Melua is one of the biggest-selling British female artists of all time after being discovered in 2002 while studying at the Brit School for Performing Arts, which counts Adele, Jessie J and Amy Winehouse among its former pupils.

The singer - who suffered a nervous breakdown two years ago - recently confessed that she hasn't always believed in marriage, but meeting Toseland changed her mind.

She said: "Marriage seemed so scary then. But once you have met the right person..."
