Skater Vanessa Bauer shared a video of Kevin spinning Gracie around in a trolley she’s using for her routine this week with Perri Kiely.
She wrote: “Even Gracie is having fun in my shopping trolley.”
Brianne could be seen watching on with a smile in the backstage clip.
Earlier this month the mum-of-0ne shared the moment Kevin presented her with a 53,000 ring on Instagram.
She wrote: “He couldnt have been more perfect ~ I love you @kdkilbane77 . 02.04.2020 
.”
Brianne watched with a smile
Kevin wore a crisp white shirt and red tie for the special occasion, which took place inside swanky London restaurant STK.
A huge sparkling ring was then delivered to the table by a waiter before Kevin then belted out a romantic song and dropped to one knee.
Brianne, who could be heard saying “are you serious?”, wasted no time in saying yes.
It was met with a round of applause from diners, and the couple sealed the special moment with a kiss.

Kevin went all out with his choice of ring, with an expert claiming it would retail for 53,000.
Andrew Brown, CEO of WP Diamonds, said: Briannes engagement ring looks to be a 3-carat pear shaped diamond with a diamond halo. Assuming it is a white diamond with a colour clarity of G VS, the ring would retail for around 53,000.
Kevin revealed on Loose Women last week that the pair have got a date in my mind for the wedding.
He said: We have a day, certainly a timescale in our heads so we know what we’re doing.”
They were recently eliminated from Dancing On Ice and shared a steamy snog following their skate off performance, leaving host Holly Willoughby blushing.

The loved-up couple recently spoke out about their living arrangements to Mirror Online in a candid chat in which they discussed their household task sharing.
Kevin said: Im certainly not the boss on the ice. Bri holds me up all the time, she controls it.
