BANGKOK - Former television host Benedict Goh has announced that he is engaged to this Thai girlfriend.

In an Instagram post titled "Best Kept Secret" on Friday (Dec 3), Goh, 51, wrote that the process started before last Easter when he consulted a friend on the type of engagement ring to get.

"Then Covid persisted relentlessly and waylaid all the plans, but that cannot get in Our way," he wrote.

Goh, who indicated his location as The Siam Hotel in Thailand, said: "So I'm very much looking towards the next chapter of our lives together", tagging his fiancee Bib Sirisambhand and their dog #muffinthepoodle.

He was congratulated by several celebrities, including actress Amy Cheng, actor Nick Shen and TV presenter Uttsada Panichkul, better known as Utt. 

Ms Sirisambhand, who works in the hospitality industry, also wrote about the engagement on Instagram: "And I thought I was coming in to work. @benedict_goh, with the help of the @thesiamhotel team, had me fooled! I'm engaged!!!"
