Creasey revealed live on the Ricki-Lee, Tim and Joel show that Stratton-Smith had popped the question on the final night of their recent holiday in Italy.

“It was very last minute… it was the day before we left actually, and it was just on a little rooftop. We just had a couple of friends there, and I had no idea. We had many a drink that night and it was very special.”
Creasey also joked about how long he and Stratton-Smith have been in a relationship for: “We’ve been together for ages, a lot of people have been like ‘I thought you were already married!’”
