The pair looked happy and relaxed as they cuddled up together.

Irvine was looking dapper in his suit, whilst Emma looked glam in a yellow outfit with some statement earrings.

Earlier this month, Irvine and Emma got engaged and he announced the lovely news on social media.

The couple started dating during the Coronavirus lockdown after meeting in 2020.

He captioned the happy post on social media: "My god. She said yes. Pissing wet day in Scotland but she said yes. So f**k everything else. Never been so happy in my life."

In September 2020, Irvine told fans on Twitter that he had met his girlfriend during lockdown and enjoyed a more “old fashioned courtship” as they got to know each other.

He tweeted: “Have been enjoying a Covid romance that blossomed into a relationship. Was great to be able to take things slowly, with distanced walks and talks, before it got more intimate. More like an old fashioned courtship.”

The writer added that the pair had bumped into each other in the street before arranging to meet for social distanced coffees.
