Melissa Suffield has got engaged.
The former ‘EastEnders’ star – who played Lucy Beale from 2004 to 2010 – took to Instagram to confirm she accepted her significant other Robert Brendan’s proposal.
The 26-year-old star wrote: "#ISaidYaass @mrrobertbrendan. #engaged (sic)"
Melissa’s exciting news comes just three weeks after the former Albert Square resident revealed she and cruise director Robert have gone alcohol free.
She wrote: "Normally you’d find us in a pub on a day like today, but we’re newly booze free and drinking FRAPS. And NOT BEER. #crazy (sic)"
Melissa is no stranger to a loved-up post, and earlier this month admitted she was loving Robert even more by the day.
She wrote: "I love this man more and more every day."
Melissa joined ‘EastEnders’ after starring in ‘Agatha Christie’s Poirot’ and ‘Magic Grandad’, in which she played respective characters called Melissa and Lucy.
She went on to play another Lucy in ‘EastEnders’ for more than 300 episodes until 2010 when she was axed from the soap.
The character was re-cast two years later with Hetti Bywater taking on the role until 2015 when Lucy was killed off, which prompted a dramatic Who Killed Lucy Beale? whodunit plot.
It was later revealed Lucy’s young brother Bobby Beale – then played by Eliot Carrington – had killed her.
Prior to Melissa and Hetti, Eva Brittin-Snell portrayed a young Lucy from 1993 to 1996, and Casey Anne Rothery took over until 2004.
Following her stint in Albert Square, Melissa has gone on to star in ‘Little Crackers’ and ‘Casualty’.
