It was very romantic. A naked proposal, on his knees in the bath. It was hilarious.

Speaking to OK! magazine, he joked: “I said, ‘Absolutely not!’ And then I said, ‘Oh, alright then, I’ve changed my mind.’

“I thought it was really sweet, actually, because Jonathan just said, ‘I want to spend the rest of my life with you.’ ”

The couple have been together for two years, and Craig admitted he feels “such comfort” knowing Jonathan wants to spend the rest of his life with him.

Solid relationship

“But I am waiting to see how our relationship develops and if it’s solid enough and a good base to bring children into it. It certainly needs a lot of planning.

“You are under great scrutiny when you are adopting, more so than natural parents. There are a lot of interviews, screenings etc.”
