Joe Duttine and Sally Carman are engaged.
The ‘Coronation Street’ co-stars got engaged during the Covid-19 lockdown, with Joe announcing the news on his Twitter page on Friday (27.03.20).
Joe, 49 – who plays Tim Metcalfe in the ITV soap – posted a picture showing them toasting the engagement, in which Sally’s sparkler is clearly visible, and wrote: "She said yes everyone, convid 19 can f**k off…
"Convid, covid, whuteva (sic)."
Joe and Sally, 38, who stars as Abi Franklin, were first spotted together in 2018 and moved in together last November.
Sally later retweeted his message and wrote "I did" alongside some heart emojis.
Meanwhile, Sally recently explained she is glad her ‘Corrie’ character doesn’t speak to Joe’s alter-ego much on the show because he "twinkles on set" and she isn’t sure she could get through the scenes.
She said: "I have [found love]. He’s so cute."
When it was suggested the pair don’t do many scenes together, she said: "It’s just as well, because he twinkles on set and it’s impossible. I can’t deal with it at all."
But the star admitted it can get confusing on the set because Tim’s wife Sally Metcalfe is played by Sally Dynevor, whose real-life husband is also called Tim.
She said: "It’s funny because Sally, who plays Sally, is called Sally, and I’m called Sally. And her real-life husband is called Tim, so it’s very confusing."
Sally recently revealed she had 10 screen tests and "about a million interviews" for ‘Coronation Street’ over 14 years until she finally joined the soap.
She said: "I acted with Julie Hesmondhalgh [Hayley Cropper] on a radio play a while back, and I didn’t know I’d be in ‘Corrie’ years after that.
"I’d been trying since I was 23. I had 10 screen tests and about a million auditions, but I finally got here.
"Julie was delighted for me when I told her."
