Jenny McCarthy has announced that she is engaged to Donnie Wahlberg.

Jenny announced her engagement on US TV show The View by raising her hidden left hand from behind the desk, revealing an engagement ring.

"It's a yellow sapphire," she said. The View co-host told how Donnie, star of Blue Bloods and a member of New Kids On The Block, proposed to her last weekend. She said her son, Evan, helped with the proposal.

Donnie, 44, then came on the set of the ABC show and hugged and kissed his fiancee.

"I feel like the luckiest girl in the world. He's so wonderful," Jenny, 41, said.

This will be the second marriage for both.
