Danika Mason has shared some behind-the-scenes details about her engagement to NRL star Liam Knight – and the lengths he went to hide the ring.
Appearing on Channel Nine’s Today on Monday morning, the sports presenter and her fiancé were beaming as they dialled in from Italy.
‘He did so well!’ Danika gushed as she revealed her rugby star partner had proposed on a beach in Sardinia with a massive sparkler.
When the 34-year-old showed fans the dazzling ring, it was placed on her middle finger, with the media personality explaining that it was a little bit big and she was ‘too worried about losing it’.
‘It feels like I’m flipping the bird every time I show [somebody],’ she joked, which prompted co-hosts Karl Stefanovic and Sarah Abo to erupt in laughter.
‘Turns out she’s got skinnier fingers than they look,’ Liam, 30, quipped.

Danika then revealed the shock measures Liam took to hide the ring and keep the engagement a secret.
‘He was trying to hide the ring from me, and we needed to go to the beach, and we hired a little dinghy for the day,’ she said.
‘Anyway, so he had to drop me off and, to keep the secret, he had to go swim 150 metres.’
She added: ‘So his heart rate was already through the roof and then he had to do the proposal on top of that.’
The footy presenter announced her engagement on Sunday while on a romantic European holiday.
The Channel Nine star shared the exciting news on her social media, revealing Liam had proposed to her on a scenic Italian beach.
One precious picture captured the heartwarming moment Liam got down on one knee and proposed to Danika in a breathtaking beachside location.
Another captured Danika flaunting her stunning diamond engagement ring.

‘Some exciting news,’ she wrote next to the photos.
The pair went public with their romance in July 2024, just months after the Channel Nine sports presenter ditched her ex-fiancé Todd Liubinskas.
The loved-up pair finally confirmed their relationship via social media after months of speculation, with the footballer embracing Danika in a photo shared to his Instagram page.
‘My life’s good,’ Liam wrote in the caption, alongside the couple sharing a cuddle.
Danika dumped her ex Todd Liubinskas in September 2023, just three weeks before their planned wedding.
The Daily Mail previously revealed Liubinskas – a personal trainer – later asked Danika to give back her diamond engagement ring because it was a family heirloom.
Danika also kept the $1.5million Maroubra home she shared with her ex-fiancé.
She later confirmed the couple split due to a ‘breakdown in trust.’

‘It certainly was an emotional rollercoaster,’ she told News Corp.
‘When someone hurts you like that, you experience all the emotions from sadness to shock to anger. But sometimes you just have to get through it.
‘You’ve got no option, really… people would ask me, ‘Are you OK?’ And I’d say, ‘Not right now, but I will be.’
She also sought professional help at the time to help pick up the pieces – and soon met her Knight in shining armour.
After Liam agreed terms with the English team Hull FC in March, the couple began a long-distance relationship – and they have since enjoyed getaways together overseas at every opportunity.
