Suranne Jones is engaged.
The 'Scott & Bailey' star is set to wed Laurence Akers, 45, after the magazine editor popped the question last Friday.
The 35-year-old actress - who is currently starring in the BBC One drama 'The Crimson Field' - was pictured wearing a diamond engagement ring earlier this week, despite claiming she was single when questioned about her love life back in April.
Suranne is said to have met Laurence at a wedding earlier this year but the pair decided to keep their whirlwind romance a secret, even using false names to communicate with one another.
A friend told The Sun newspaper: "She and Laurence are really happy. They have been low-key about the relationship but they sent a picture of themselves with the ring to family and friends on Friday.
"Laurence has been trying to keep their relationship a secret and even calls her Sarah when he mentions his girlfriend in passing."
Suranne was previously in a relationship with plumber Lorenzo Giove for three years until 2009.
The former 'Coronation Street' actress also dated her soap co-star Jonathan Wrather, 'EastEnders' actor Marc Bannerman and former Feeder drummer Mark Richardson.

Kimberley Walsh has confirmed Cheryl Cole will perform on 'Britain's Got Talent'.
The singer revealed she is excited to see her former Girls Aloud bandmate and best pal debut her new music on the ITV talent show next month, following recent reports Cheryl will make her pop comeback on live television.
Kimberley exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "She will be performing on 'BGT', which will be exciting because it's obviously a big show and it means you won't have to wait too long for her [new music]!"
However, the pregnant star was reluctant to reveal whether Cheryl will pull off a Beyonce-style surprise by releasing her new track instantly for her fans to download after her performance.
She added: "I've no idea about that, you'll need to ask her yourself!"
Following Cheryl's' return to 'The X Factor' judging panel this autumn, Kimberley admitted she wouldn't be opposed to joining the panel of her favourite reality show, 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
Quizzed whether she'd love a seat alongside Len Goodman and co., the star replied: "I love 'Strictly' so much, so just to be involved in any way shape or form I would love."
The 'Something New' hitmaker is currently expecting her first child with her long-term partner Justin Scott and hopes to make a return to TV next year once she's settled in with her new family.
Kimberley revealed her next big project will be a theatre show with fellow 'Strictly' alumni, Denise Van Outen and Kara Tointon.
She explained: "I'm going to have the baby and get back on my feet. I will go back to work, [but] it's just finding something that I can fit around my new life as it is. I'll still be doing TV and maybe some more theatre at some point.
"I'm still planning to do the show I've been working on with Denise Van Outen and Kara Tointon. We've been working on that for a while now. It's still going to happen, I just have to get myself back in shape and dancing again."
Kimberley's duet with Alistair Griffin, 'The Road', will be released on June 30 through Elbow Grease Records.
The video for the single can be seen at www.youtube.com/watch?v=DagQili02Qk.
Alistair releases his new album 'From Nowhere' on July 7.

EastEnders' Max Branning will strike a romance with the police detective investigating Lucy Beale's murder.
The Walford womaniser - who had an illicit romance with the young businesswoman before her death - will risk upsetting the Beale family once again when he beds DC Emma Summerhayes (Anna Acton), the official appointed to act as the Beales' family liaison officer.
DC Summerhayes initially questions Max (Jake Wood) in a professional capacity, but she eventually succumbs to the car dealer's advances.
A soap insider told Digital Spy: "Once again Max is beginning a relationship that could have big repercussions on Albert Square.
"Summerhayes is potentially jeopardising her career by getting romantically involved with Max, as his fling with Lucy makes him a possible suspect in the murder case. Max is also playing with fire by risking further upset with the Beales.
"But despite the forbidden nature of the relationship, there's clear chemistry between the new couple and fans will have to wait and see whether Max has met his match. Could Summerhayes be the one to tame him?"
Max was recently ostracised by his fellow Walford residents, who discovered his romance with Lucy - the best friend of his daughter Lauren Branning - on the day of her funeral.
DC Summerhayes first appeared on 'EastEnders' last month, breaking the news of Lucy's death to her father Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt).
Executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins previously revealed the detective would have storylines of her own, independent of the murder investigation.

E4 has confirmed the cast of its upcoming 'Made in Chelsea' spin-off show set in the Big Apple, with Spencer and co. set to be joined by Binky Felstead, Alex Mytton, Mark-Francis Vandelli and Louise Thompson.
Other cast members include Stevie Johnson, Rosie Fortescue, Oliver Proudlock, Cheska Hull, Fran Newman-Young, Victoria Baker-Harber, Sam Thompson and Riley Uggala, all of whom currently appear on the seventh series of the hit reality show.
Executive producer Sarah Dillistone said: "We're excited to have so many of the cast joining us in New York. Leaving the familiar surroundings of SW3 behind them, we're expecting more drama, more romance and more new friends. New York won't know what's hit it!"
Channel 4 commissioning editor Jilly Pearce added: "This is an exciting new extension for one of our best loved E4 brands, and we can't wait to follow the casts' loves and lives over summer in New York."
'Made in Chelsea: New York' will consist of six episodes and begin airing on E4 in August.
Earlier this week, brunette beauty Lucy Watson told BANG Showbiz the cast will fly out to New York next week to film for two months.

Kim Kardashian will not sell her wedding pictures, despite receiving offers of up to $1 million.
The reality star is set to marry rapper Kanye West - with whom she has 10-month-old daughter, North - on Saturday (24.05.14) and although there is huge interest surrounding her nuptials, Kim and Kanye have decided to priorities their privacy and keep all photos of the big day to themselves.
Kim sold the pictures from her second marriage to Kris Humphries to People magazine for $1.5 million as well as receiving $300,000 for their engagement announcement, and the ceremony was recorded and aired on E! reality show 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians'.
A source told the New York Daily News' Confidenti@l column: "Kim wants to handle the wedding with Kanye [West] in a more private manner.
"There is huge interest in the wedding and in her dresses, and she's the most famous girl in the world. She understands publicity. But selling the pictures after everything that happened with the last wedding [to Kris Humphries] isn't the way to go and she knows that."
Kim - whose union to Kris only lasted 72 days - could expect to receive a bumper pay day if she change her mind and take a publication's offer for images.
The source explained: "If any other celebrity had been married for a few months after a two-hour E! special, they'd be unable to go back to the same well. She keeps getting bigger and bigger.
"If she chooses to sell exclusive wedding pictures, she'll make more than she did last time."

Jeremy Renner is "miserable" when he's away from his daughter.
The 43-year-old actor, who has a 14-month-old girl, Ava, with ex-girlfriend Sonni Pacheco, says becoming a father has been the best thing that's ever happened in his life and he tries to spend as much time as possible with his child.
Asked about his feelings on fatherhood, the 'Avengers' star said: "It's the best thing I've ever done. I like starting and ending my day with her. When I don't, life is quite miserable."
Renner admits that having a child has also completely changed his attitude to his career.
He explained to the new issue of People magazine: "I thought I liked what I do for a living, but now I have this little wonderful creature, and she kind of squashes all that. She's messed up my life in the most beautiful way possible. She takes all of my love."
Aside from his success in Hollywood, Renner makes a lot of money from renovating old properties and selling them in Los Angeles.
The actor, who sold one mansion for $17 million profit, gets a kick from restoring old buildings back to their former beauty.
He said: "I could probably make a lot more money razing the structure and building something new. But in LA there's a lot of great architecture, especially from the 1920s. I find great homes that need some love and bring them back."

Tupac Shakur's final words were reportedly 'f**k you'.
The late rapper, who died from injuries sustained in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas in September 1996, is said to have sworn at police officer Chris Carroll, who was one of the first responders on the scene.
According to the official, he repeatedly tried to ask Tupac - who was 25 at the time of his death - who had shot him but the 'Changes' star was uncooperative.
He explained: "I'm asking him, 'Who shot you? What happened? Who did it?' And he was just kind of ignoring me. He was making eye contact with me here and there, but he's trying to yell at Suge [Knight, Tupac's friend and record label boss]. And I kept asking over and over, 'Who did this? Who shot you?' And he basically kept ignoring me.
However, Chris claims he witnessed a swift change in the rapper's demeanour as he realised he wouldn't make it.
The now retired policeman told VegasSeven.com: "All of a sudden in the snap of a finger, he changed. And he went from struggling to speak to an 'I'm at peace' type of thing. Just like that.
"I looked at him and said one more time, 'Who shot you?' He looked at me and he took a breath to get the words out, and he opened his mouth, then the words came out: 'Fuck you.'
"After that, he started gurgling and slipping out of consciousness."
Tupac died six days later in hospital and has since become an influential figure in rap music, enjoying posthumous success and notoriety for both his music and personal life.

Rita Ora was nervous about making her feelings for Calvin Harris public.
The pop star initially refused her producer boyfriend's idea to record a song together and was wary of putting her emotions down into words on her number one single, 'I Will Never Let You Down', in case it jinxed their romance.
In an interview with the Daily Mirror newspaper, she revealed: "I thought it was a bad idea. I said, 'I don't know what's gonna happen, babe.' All that political s**t, I didn't want to think about it. But when we started to write, it happened so naturally it felt right.
"There was a moment when we were like, you know, we're both known. It could become difficult. This message, I won't let you down, is a message of hope. It's the little reality that we do have left in this... [fame bubble]."
Rita, 23, has become one of the most recognisable faces in the world since hitting the big time in 2012 with her summer anthem 'Hot Right Now'.
The Kosovo-born star has lost most of her old friends because they struggled to adjust to her new-found status and she doesn't have time to deal with their complaints that she has changed.
She lamented: "I have had some [friends] that you don't even recognise any more. It can be scary when people start to act weird around you. They even ask if they can go to the toilet.
"People say 'Rita has changed' but we are supposed to change. You have a career to change for the better and to succeed.
"It's not your job to persuade friends that you are the same. They have to accept I am going to change because I am working my b****y arse off.
"But you shouldn't worry about it, you should worry about your album and your shows."

Monty Python decided to reunite following a £800,000 legal bill.
The British comedy troupe - Terry Jones, 71, John Cleese, 74, Terry Gilliam, 72, Michael Palin, 70, and Eric Idle, 70 - will re-enact sketches from their TV series 'Monty Python's Flying Circus' and scenes and songs from their three films in July this year with a series of live shows at The O2 in London.
John Cleese has revealed the group decided to perform together again after they lost a royalties case to Mark Forstater, who produced their 1975 film 'Monty Python And The Holy Grail'.
Talking on British talk show 'Alan Carr's Chatty Man', John said: "We had an £800,000 bill from a legal case and the costs were enormous. We all got together and thought, 'How are we going to pay an £800,000 legal bill?' and someone said, 'Let's do a show.' "
In addition, John is in need of the extra income to pay his ex-wife Alyce Faye Eichelberger more than £600,000 a year.
He has been trying to pay Alyce nearly £8 million in money and assets over the last four years, following their divorce in 2008, and is obligated to pay her £612,000 annually until 2016.
The group - who last performed live together at the Hollywood Bowl in 1980 and were last on stage in the UK 40 years ago - would like to experiment with new material but think fans would prefer the old gags.
John added: "People want the old stuff. They know the sketches."

Nile Rodgers has revealed he wants to record with Prince.
The Chic star will be touring with 'Purple Rain' singer this year and he is hoping to get in the studio with Prince and lay down some tracks.
Speaking at the Ivor Novello Awards in London on Thursday (22.05.14), he said: "This year I've been concentrating on my new album and I'm on tour with Prince a lot ... we always play together. I've been in the studio in close proximity to Prince and we've jammed together live but this year, after we've played together, we'll see what happens.
"I don't know about making an album (with him), although we do both work really quickly."
Nile - who was honoured with the Special International Award for his incredible career at the ceremony, a prize handed to him by his friend Johnny Marr - also revealed he is set to work with Duran Duran again.
The 61-year-old guitarist performed with the band's singer Simon Le Bon and George Clinton at the International Music Summit's Legends Dinner in Ibiza on Wednesday night (21.05.14) where he was guest of honour and on the flight to the UK afterwards Nile and Simon discussed plans for their collaboration along with producer Mark Ronson.
The 'Good Times' hitmaker - who first worked with Duran Duran in 1984 on a remix of their hit single 'The Reflex' and then on their 1986 album 'Notorious' - said: "On the plane Simon and I talked about working together and we're trying to figure out how our schedules can line-up so I can work on some of the Duran Duran stuff. I do know, according to what Simon said to me, that they're going work around my schedule which is amazing. I adore Duran Duran.
"I gave Mark Ronson his first Walkman and he started bouncing on one foot and then the other and then started becoming a producer. "Can you imagine me and Mark in the same room as Duran Duran? That's going to be cool. The love is going to be insane."

Drew Barrymore admits her friends became her family when she was growing up.
The 39-year-old actress - who is married to Will Kopelman with whom she has 20-month-old Olive and one-month-old baby Frankie - reunites with her '50 First Dates' co-star Adam Sandler in comedy 'Blended' which sees two families come together and the screen beauty insists family is about those who give you a "place in the world".
Talking to Variety.com, Barrymore said: "I appreciate that terms like 'modern family' and 'blended' have become familiar in the culture as ways to describe a pride in a family that doesn't look a certain way.
"I think that my family looks traditional from the outside, but I also know that I had kind of 'zero-point-zero' family growing up, and it was my friends that became my family and they gave me a sense of place in the world and they gave me tough love."
Barrymore believes families have "no rules" and accept you for who you are, being "supportive" and "honest".
She added: "I think there are no rules. I think of family as where you feel safe. It's where you feel supported, and it's where people are being deathly honest with you."
