‘I want to thank everyone who has supported us. We will always remain close friends. Cheers.’ 

Jordan and Henry left viewers gripped when their close friendship blossomed into romance last year, and just a week after their BB exit, they made things official.

The duo sent fans into a frenzy back in November with how they debuted their podcast.

Taking to Instagram to share a surprise new clip, Jordan and Henry sent fans wild by hinting that they had got engaged, a little over a year to the day since they departed the BB house.

However, all was not as it seems, as the tongue-in-cheek post was actually announcing their Club Sandwich podcast.

In the weekly series, fans join Henry and Jordan’s world every week as they delve deeper into their daily life and hilarious differences, through the lens of their shared obsession.

The clip showed a loved-up Henry and Jordan enjoying a romantic stroll together, before the food writer suddenly got down on one knee.

However, instead of presenting him with a ring, Henry offered his boyfriend a sandwich instead, before announcing that the launch of their new podcast was just hours away.

Sharing the clip on both of their accounts, the post was captioned: ‘We said yes!’

‘…but not to what you think!’ We’re thrilled to announce @ClubSandwichpod, our brand-new podcast that’s (kind of) about sandwiches, but really about so much more. Join us every Wednesday as we serve up laughs, stories, and dish out the goss!’

While many fans were quick to share their delight at the podcast’s announcement, others confessed that they were initially excited by news of an engagement.

Comments under the post included: ‘If this is the reaction to a podcast, what are we all going to be like when u actually get engaged;

‘I thought Henry was gonna propose; I was more than excited then!! However I am so, so excited for the podcast, made my day, proud of you both;

‘For goodness sake guys!!! You almost made my Tuesday morning! But excited to listen; Oh my God I got way too giddy when u went down on one knee Henry!’ 

Back in March, Jordan and Henry shared how they were ‘taken aback’ to see the ‘endearing’ reactions from fans of their romance on social media.

Jordan and Henry have kept fans well-updated with their romance on social media, and the former lawyer, despite earning an army of fans for his sarcastic sense of humour, is no stranger to sharing romantic poems about his boyfriend.

After celebrating Jordan’s Big Brother victory at a boozy wrap party, the pair revealed that it took just three days for them to reunite after leaving the house.
