‘Hollyoaks’ co-stars Nadine Mulkerrin and Rory Douglas-Speed have got engaged.
The real-life couple filmed their characters’ Cleo McQueen and Joel Dexter’s wedding ceremony just weeks ago, and the pair are set to go through the same again in real life after he popped the question in Amsterdam.
He wrote on Instagram: "She said yes!! Swipe for reaction >>> (sic)"
Rory shared a picture of the raven-haired beauty holding up her hand to reveal her engagement ring, and also a short clip of her punching and kicking the air in sheer delight after he asked her to marry him.
Nadine posted pictures of herself showing off her engagement band alongside Rory in a photobooth, and she added the caption: "Yes. @rorydouglasspeed (sic)"
The soap power couple’s engagement news comes just two months after they pranked their parents, pretending they had got married after filming their characters’ big day.
He said: "It’s been so strange filming a wedding as we are together. Even back when Joel and Cleo got engaged I was so nervous, I went bright red. I was terrified – genuinely I was not acting in those scenes!
"It makes it interesting and Nadine and I have a laugh about it. We sent my family pictures of us in our characters’ wedding day costumes pretending we had eloped!
"We joke that it’s a rehearsal for us."
Joel and Cleo – who suffers from bulimia – were due to marry in a special ‘Hollyoaks’ episode to coincide with World Mental Health Day (10.10.18), but she had a heart attack before the ceremony was complete.
