Mabel thought Preye Crooks was ‘too normal’

Mabel has revealed what she thought of Preye Crooks when they first met.

Mabel thought her fiance was “too normal” when they first met.

The 28-year-old pop star announced her engagement to Preye Crooks last year, but Mabel has admitted that it wasn’t a case of love at first sight.

The ‘Finders Keepers’ hitmaker said on the ‘Miss Me’ podcast: “Subconsciously when I met Preye, I was just like, ‘No, he’s too normal. He’s not going to get this. He’s too nice’.

“He would ask me how I am. And I’m like, ‘What do you want? What’s the catch here?’

“Because honestly, all I wanted to do was sit around chasing some guy that probably didn’t reply, probably had a secret baby, secret girlfriend. All true stories. Sad but it’s true.”

Mabel is currently planning her wedding day and she’s determined to create a memorable occasion.

Asked where they might tie the knot, Mabel said: “It’s like St Paul’s Cathedral. I think there’s a few things you can do. I’m like, what can we get out of this?”

Mabel announced her engagement in November, and the loved-up couple were subsequently congratulated by their friends and family.

Preye’s sister Tk posted on TikTok: “Last night, I gained a sister!

“A woman I love with all my heart.

“Congratulations to my brother and new sister.”

Meanwhile, their friend Fat Bakare wrote on the post: “Whenever you spoke about her, I knew you really loved her. It was very clear from the start, just how deeply you felt for her.

“With any and everything you did, you put her first and I learnt a lot from you in that sense and I’m blessed to have seen your relationship blossom and flourish, To happily ever after for you both. (sic)”
