Football star turned sports broadcaster Gary Lineker is set to wed model girlfriend Danielle Bux, after one year together, reports reveal.

The 47-year-old former England striker got engaged last month and according to the Mirror, the couple are deciding on wedding ideas for 2010.

A spokesperson for Lineker commented: "They didn't want to make a big announcement, but it's true they're engaged and very happy. They are happy for people to know and looking forward to planning a special ceremony."

The happy couple met on a blind date last year, arranged by matchmaking friends.

Talking about her now husband-to-be, Danielle previously told reporters: "I was surprised at how much younger and more handsome he looked than on TV. Gary and I just got on well straight away. It's like I've known him all my life. I just adore him."

Gary has four children with his ex-wife Michelle. They were married for 20-years before divorcing in 2006.
