Emmerdale star Amy Walsh, who plays Tracy Metcalfe on the ITV soap, has revealed she has booked her wedding venue abroad as she jetted off, for what looked to be a wash-out weekend, with her husband-to-be and Eastenders star, Toby Alexander-Smith.

The actress posted a sweet reel to her Instagram stories as she revealed she and her fiance enjoyed some quality time together without their daughter for the first time as they jetted off to book their wedding venue.

In the short clip, soap stars Amy and Toby can be seen enjoying a pint at the airport and taking a snooze whilst flying before landing in their very wet and windy destination, Amy penned: "It was a fleeting visit but it was very special, 22 hours away from our BonBon (first time together) and the wedding venue is booked! Let's hope the weather is better on the big day", alongside a series of praying hand emojis.
