Russell, who popped the question in a romantic ceremony at India's luxury Taj Rambagh Palace hotel, has already made his manager NIK LINNEN best man and asked him to make an early start on preparing his speech.

A source said: "Russell caught everyone off-guard with the engagement.

"They've decided they won't be messing about and have already made a start on the plans for the big day."

The Sun can reveal details of Russell's meticulously-planned proposal in the grounds of the hotel in Jaipur.

The star planned every detail of the New Year's Eve encounter - right down to what his wife-to-be would wear.

Earlier in the day he took Katy to an ancient fort and bought her a £600 traditional Indian dress for the night.

A hotel worker said: "He had organised a special dining experience.

"We set a table in a garden with candles everywhere. They arrived in a horse and carriage with a glass of champagne and we served them dinner.

"At midnight they enjoyed fireworks while sitting on an elephant, which Mr Brand specially requested. Then they were taken to the Mughal Garden - which was decorated by flowers and candlelight.

"Mr Brand had given his butler the diamond ring to hide among the flowers. Miss Perry found it, he proposed, and she immediately said 'Yes'.

"After that they requested 45 minutes' privacy. They looked like they were beautifully in love."

Following the proposal Russell, clad in black jeans and a black shirt, took his fiancee back to the presidential suite, where they could enjoy the sunken Jacuzzi and circular bed.

Russell and I Kissed a Girl singer Katy have been together four months and visited India for a Christmas hol.

Their wedding, which pals think will happen in the next six months, promises to be a star-studded affair.

Russell's close pals include JONATHAN ROSS, NOEL GALLAGHER, DAVID WALLIAMS and singer MORRISSEY.

And 25-year-old Katy's include pop stars RIHANNA and TAYLOR SWIFT.

In her last interview before her trip, she admitted Russell made her "hop like a bunny" due to happiness.

Yesterday her staunchly-religious dad gave his approval to her engagement to former drug addict Russell. Strict churchman Keith Hudson said in Quakertown, Pennsylvania: "I'm happy."

Asked about the prospect of grandchildren, he chuckled: "It's too early."
