Following their pregnancy announcement last week, two-time Bachelor contestant Mr Turnbull proposed to the Miss Supercars and Ms Galaxy Australia winner during a pregnancy announcement shoot, leaving her “in total shock.”

“I thought he was picking something off the sand,” Ms Cushing laughed.

“It took a few seconds but then Michael was like, ‘I love you’ and I was like, ‘oh my God, it’s happening.”

In December last year Ms Cushing became another statistic in the youth crime epidemic when she abruptly woke to watch her Peugeot 2008 GT 2022 disappearing out of her Merrimac driveway in the early hours of the morning.

She said the incident still haunts her.

“That’s what life is its all about though, peaks and troughs and we’re definitely at a huge peak in life at the moment. I don’t think anyone could kill our buzz right now,” she said.
