The Pop Idol star reportedly proposed to the Sugar Jones singer during a New Year break in Glasgow. But it is thought that Mirella, whose band won the Canadian version of Popstars, kept him waiting for three days before she said yes. They are hoping to set a date for the wedding in the coming weeks, after searching for a home in London. The pair have been dating since meeting at Party In The Park in Oxford last summer. A spokesman for Sugar Jones told The Sun: "I can confirm that Mirella and Darius are now engaged." Thankyou to Ananova for the "story" Darius's Dad Raps Wedding Rumour ( The Daily Record Article) POP star Darius's dad last night rejected claims his son had become engaged. Reports claimed the 22-year-old had proposed to Canadian girl-group singer Mirella Del'Aquila on a trip to his native Scotland. But his father Dr Booth Danesh said he'd never heard of Mirella - and Darius had not been to Scotland in the last two months. Dr Danesh, of Bearsden, near Glasgow, said: "This is just nonsense. There is no engagement. Darius is very close to his family and if he was getting married, we would definitely be the first to know. He would not leave it for us to find out from the Press. He does not have a girlfriend just now and we have never heard of this Canadian girl. Darius has never even mentioned her. He hasn't been in Scotland for the last two months either, so if he'd proposed to her up here I'm sure we would have known by now. This is just totally made up and it doesn't surprise me to hear she's in a band. Someone has just made this up to get it in the papers." Newspaper reports last night said Darius had been seeing Mirella since the summer and popped the question at New Year. But Dr Booth insisted his son hadn't been in the country since the start of December - and was still unattached. Darius was named one of the UK's 20 most eligible bachelors last month. Thankyou to The Daily Record for the story Radio 1 Exclusive: Darius - Definitely Still Single Darius has denied newspaper reports that he's engaged. He's currently in Holland, promoting 'Colourblind'. He told Radio 1 he was very bemused by the story that he proposed to a girl called Mirella Dell'Aquila from a unknown girl band. Apparently he popped the question over the New Year, which he's confused by, especially as he was in South Africa at the time with his brother: "No, I'm not engaged! I've only met this unfortunate girl once six months ago at an Oxford gig when a manager insisted I had my photograph taken with the group. I don't know her name. I can't even pronounce her name. I think it's quite funny. But it's an even bigger shame she's not even the pretty one from the group!" Darius told us he's been seeing a couple of girls lately, including someone much higher profile, but he's also just had his first royalty cheque so he's enjoying his single status.
