An eyewitness said: "She seemed so touched and overwhelmed and at that moment they looked right at each other and it was as if there was no one else in the room."

It was also at the Italian gala, which was held in support of the Andrea Bocelli Foundation and The Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center, that the 53-year-old star let slip that he would be getting married in Venice in a "couple of weeks", after it was reported that the couple would have their romantic ceremony in Lake Como.

He told the crowd: "I met my bride-to-be in Italy, and I will be married in Italy soon, in a couple of weeks. In Venice, of all places."

Amal was recently spotted at the Alexander McQueen headquarters, prompting speculation that she would be using the same wedding dress designer as the Duchess of Cambridge - who wore a dress designed by Sarah Burton, the creative director of the brand for her wedding to Prince William in April 2011.
