Fans were baffled by the announcement, with one writing: "Nah surely nottttt".

Another added: "help me figure this out because i’m so confused if this is true or not".

A third said: "Sureellyyyyy not WHAAAAT".

Many people remain unconvinced of the legitimacy of the announcement, however, with many claiming it to be a joke.

One wrote: "April fools day isn't for another five weeks guys!"

Another pointed out that the photo appeared to have been taken in the Celebs Go Dating mansion, meaning it must be a planned wind-up.

Dating agent Anna Williamson wrote: "You guys ❤️".

And Tom Zanetti added: "Thankyou for giving me honour of the best man, really can’t wait for the special day 👑".

Wayne's son Sean Lineker is also among those sending their well-wishes, writing: "Congrats! Can’t believe we had to keep this secret for so long !! Xx".
