Mea looked delighted in the snaps as she showed off her beautiful oval diamond ring and beamed for the camera.
The proposal comes after last year Toby was criticised for his highly-anticipated Christmas food market.
When Toby first announced he would be launching the market on Tottenham Court Road, his Instagram and followers were ecstatic.
He posted videos of the mouth-watering dishes customers could expect to buy – promising 'proper food' by 'proper chefs'.
But the reality of Tod's Festive Feast ended up being rather different from what the carefully curated videos first suggested.
Fans who visited the site complained in their droves, criticising the market for being overcrowded and overpriced.
Tod, 30, ended up in the firing line for his alleged attempts to cash in on his popularity.
Critics said he was focusing more on padding his bank account than creating a quality, high-end experience for visitors.
And sources at the time told The Daily Mail that the social-media sensation has become increasingly hooked on cash, with his authenticity going out the window.

After touring London's usual Christmas markets, Tod claimed to be frustrated by the bland, uninspired offerings and decided to do it himself.
He secured 13 TikTok viral vendors including Roll Boys (cinnamon buns), From The Ashes BBQ and Bread Ahead Bakery.
Prices ranged from £6 for a cinnamon bun to £13 for a burger.
Social-media users were quick to note the irony: a Christmas market with very little festive atmosphere.
One attendee vented: 'Roll Boys wasn't even open, and that's the reason I came. Honestly, it was a disappointment.'
Another wrote: 'That's a lot of American food at a London festival… so no actual British food?'
Such reactions seem to echo the broader criticism of Tod's career.
Toby first gained attention during lockdown with his 'If you can't take a date, take a mate' series. In the show, he would visit and review restaurants across the country
