Mark Jordon and Laura Norton kept their engagement a secret for seven months.
The ‘Emmerdale’ stars’ revealed earlier this month that they had got engaged in 2018, and Laura – who plays Kerry Wyatt on the ITV soap – has now confirmed he popped the question last summer.
In response to a congratulatory tweet from actors’ management agency Winterson’s, Laura wrote: "I mean …. it was 7 months ago … but … you’re very cute. Thank you (sic)"
The news of the pair’s engagement broke on January 2nd when Mark – who plays Daz Spencer in ‘Emmerdale’ – admitted he was "elated to have heard the word ‘yes’" from Laura, following a mixed 2018.
He tweeted: "Well 2018 had some of the highest highs and the lowest lows. Really got to feel the love of true friends . Feel blessed by the support of my children and elated to have heard the word "yes " from the most beautiful woman in the world (sic)"
Mark, 35, shared a picture of Laura yesterday (17.01.19) from the day he proposed.
He wrote on Instagram: "Little did she know [ring emoji]"
Mark has also played down speculation that he and Laura might be leaving ‘Emmerdale’ after he shared a music video she stars in.
The 53-year-old star tweeted: "The uniquely talented @lawrencenotrin while filming a music video for the brilliant band @BehindShields (sic)"
One fan wrote: "Are you two leaving the Dales?"
But the former ‘Heartbeat’ star replied: "I see your logic , this was a while back (sic)"
Last month, Mark pleaded not guilty to attacking a pensioner.
He appeared at Minshull Street Crown Court in Manchester in December where he denied wounding and common assault following an alleged incident on July 1 in Oldham, north west England.
Mark was granted bail by judge Mark Savill until his trial, which is scheduled to take place on July 29.
