Alton Towers crash victim Vicky Balch has announced her surprise engagement to her boyfriend of a year.

Dino Manciocchi, 25, proposed to Ms Balch on Friday during a romantic retreat to Mottram Hall in Cheshire.

'I had no idea he was going to propose and couldn’t believe it when he asked me. I’m so happy and excited for the rest of our lives together,' she told the Mirror.

Mr Manciocchi, a pizza company owner, had laid rose petals and heart shaped balloons on the bed before popping the question.

He said: 'She kept me waiting to say "yes" for a few minutes as she couldn’t quite believe it but once she realised I was serious she couldn’t stop crying she was so happy.

'She is a wonderful person who is so mentally strong. She supports me through everything I do and she really does deserve to be happy and I’m so happy to be part of that.'

Ms Balch, from Leyland in Lancashire, was forced to amputate her right leg after the Smiler rollercoaster crashed into an empty carriage with the force of a '90mph car crash' in June 2015.

At least 16 were injured and five people were seriously hurt. 

She last week revealed a new £60,000 prosthetic leg which she said will allow her to wear heels and paint her toenails again.

The innovative new leg, which is adorned with flowers and has a pink sparkly cover, has a rotating heel, allowing Miss Balch to wear higher angled shoes. 

Leah Washington from Barnsley, South Yorkshire, also had to undergo a leg amputation as a result of the horror crash. 

The two women are now suing the owners of the park for millions of pounds.

Miss Balch's lawyers claim the injuries she sustained were due to the 'negligence and or breach of statutory duty' of Merlin Attractions Operations Ltd.

The claim to the High Court in September this year accuses the firm of 'failing to take any or any adequate care to ensure the reasonable safety of the Claimant whilst on the Smiler.'

It is understood that the filing of a claim is a purely procedural step taken by the claimants to protect their position, but it has been estimated by legal experts that they could be entitled to around £2 million.

Merlin has already been hit with a £5million fine after judge Michael Chambers called the theme park a 'shambles'.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
