England basketball players Jamell Anderson and Georgia Jones got engaged on court at the Commonwealth Games on Sunday.
With the help of his team-mates, Anderson surprised his now fiancee moments after England’s 81-54 victory over Cameroon, a win that was enough to put England’s men’s team into Round 2 of the competition in Townsville.
Video released by Team England showed the men’s team gathered in a post-game huddle while Jones watched on – having earlier contributed nine points to a 78-51 win over Mozambique – but as the huddle broke Anderson was waiting down on one kne.
“I only told them just now,” the 27-year-old Anderson said of getting his team-mates involved. “They initiated the plan really well, so that went perfectly.
“It’s been on my mind for a while, so now I can just play basketball.”
