Konnie Huq 'engaged' to Charlie Brooker - News, People - The Independent

I seem to recall (and the name tends to confirm it) that Konnie is Muslim by background and has even 'owned' that identity pulblicly. So this is interesting: "Konnie Huq has become engaged to Screenwipe host and writer Charlie Brooker."
Watch out for follow up stories with one of two probable lines: one would be that Charlie Brooker is converting to Islam; the other would be that Konnie Huq is being denounced for haram conduct (Sunnah doesn't allow a Muslimah to marry a non Muslim man).
Though there may be something more to be explored by why "engaged" is 'engaged' in the headline and without scare quotes in the text...
