‘Emmerdale’ star Michelle Hardwick has got engaged to the soap’s producer Kate Brooks.
The 42-year-old star – who plays vet Vanessa Woodfield on the ITV soap – popped the question to her significant other after "months of planning", and was delighted she said yes.
She wrote on Twitter: "So after months of planning, I popped the question!!! She said yes!!! #loveislove #noordinaryproposal @katebrooks (sic)"
The pair appear to have got engaged last weekend, and Kate even joked the proposal was worth missing last Sunday’s (09.12.18) ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ finale for.
She tweeted: "Thank you for all the love #shedidgood #whataweekend #worthmissingthejunglefor (sic)"
Michelle shared a black and white image of the happy couple embracing each other while holding a celebratory drink.
The pair’s announcement comes just two months after Michelle confirmed her romance with Kate on National Coming Out Day, which occurs annually on October 11, by sharing two black and white images.
She added the caption: "It will all work out in the end #behappy #nationalcomingoutday #loveislove @thekatebrooks (sic)"
Michelle confirmed in April she was in a new relationship, after getting divorced from her long-term partner Rosie Nicholl last year – less than 12 months after their wedding – and admitted she would marry again.
She said at the time: "Me and my partner are ridiculously in love and happy and it’s lovely. I’ve decided this time round to keep this relationship private.
"I have been divorced nearly a year now and we split up way before that. But would I get married again? Yes. I don’t even hesitate with that."
What’s more, this year has also seen Michelle’s alter-ego Vanessa hook up with Charity Dingle – played by Emma Atkins – on the soap, and she is keen for the characters to tie the knot.
She added: "What would be even better would be for Charity and Vanessa to have a big soap wedding. Who knows if they will get that far though?"
