Lily James sparked speculation that she is engaged to boyfriend Matt Smith – by wearing a diamond ring at the Baftas.

The actress, 28, stunned on the red carpet in a black, haute couture Burberry ballgown and sported the rock on her ring finger.

The star previously denied she was engaged, telling The Sun On Sunday: “We’re not engaged yet. But it’s going very well.”

James was later seen without the ring at a Bafta after-party.
