Pippa Middleton has hinted she is engaged to her boyfriend Nico Jackson in her latest column for the Telegraph.

In an article about flower arranging, the 30 year old said that she would be a “DIY bride” when it comes to her own big day.

Writing about flowers Pippa poses questions like "why do my orchids keep dying and how can I prolong the life of the (sadly, infrequent) bouquets that land on my doorstep?"

She ends the piece by hinting she's considering wedding flowers already: "Next stop, a flower-arranging course. Maybe I’ll be a DIY bride?"

Pippa and Nico have been dating for eight months

There have been rumours about a wedding in recent weeks but they were quickly denied. Pippa has been dating stockbroker Nico for eight months and using the 'b' word is a very big step.

“They didn’t want an announcement before Pippa’s birthday because they didn’t want to take the shine off Kate and her baby,” a source originally claimed to the Sunday People.

"Pippa is sure she’s found the one, especially after seeing how happy Kate is since getting married in 2011.

Pippa loved seeing Kate go down the aisle and now it is her turn for a fairy-tale wedding. She couldn’t be more sure that Nico is the right for her. They are such a good fit for each other and their families get on really well. Everyone is so happy for Pippa."
