The actress, who briefly returned to Emmerdale earlier this year, later told HELLO! about their wedding plans, admitting that she hadn't set a date for her big day, and would most likely "just sort of like disappear". She had special plans for her wedding dress though. "I like the idea of the Pippa Middleton bum dress because I work so hard on my bum," she said. "So if I WAS to think about a dress... if there was a sort of visualisation, then the fact that I spend my life in squat to keep my Pippa Middleton [bum] up -- that would be the case."

Matt Di Angelo

Former EastEnders actor Matt Di Angelo popped the question to his long-term girlfriend Sophia Perry during a holiday in the Dominican Republic in May.
