Carr said he noticed something was wrong with his desert during a dinner at an exclusive resort in Lombok, but didn’t notice that Drayton had hidden a ring his food.

“There were nine couples in this boutique hotel and a man playing the organ.” Carr said.

“I went to the toilet and came out to eat dessert.
