Big congratulations to Emmerdale star Chris Bisson and his partner Rowena Finn, who have announced their engagement! Chris shared the happy news on Twitter on Monday evening, writing: "Finally, I popped the question to @row_finn and…" alongside a picture of some scrabble pieces spelling out the words: "She said yes."

Just last week Chris and Rowena celebrated their 10th anniversary together. "Happy Anniversary! To the girl who rocks my world @row_finn 10 years ago this beautiful person came in to my life. I love you baby xxx," the 41-year-old wrote in a touching tribute to mark the occasion.

Chris Bisson has popped the question to partner Rowena Finn

The sweet couple are parents to two children; son Harry, who turned three in January, and daughter Ella Rose, who was born in December. The couple proudly introduced their baby girl in an exclusive interview with HELLO! magazine in January, and spoke for the first time about the drama surrounding her birth.

"Just like a scene from a film, there was this cinematic race to the hospital. She was born seven minutes later (after our arrival) after one puff of gas and air," Chris, who plays scheming businessman Jai Sharma in the ITV soap, told HELLO!.

New mum Rowena added: "I was terrified. I really believed I was going to give birth in the car. If it had been rush hour, we wouldn't have made it."

Chris also revealed that becoming a father has changed his approach to his role as a villain. "I enjoy playing a baddie but since becoming a father I find some baby-related storylines challenging," he said. "When Harry was born, the plot revolved around a baby in intensive care. I've been filming another harrowing story that hasn't been revealed yet. It makes me realise how lucky I am."
