Coronation Street star Alex Bain has revealed he is engaged to girlfriend Mollie Lockwood - a year after popping the question. The actor, best known for playing Simon Barlow in the ITV soap, asked his girlfriend the all-important question in October last year and kept it secret from their families until Christmas when they announced the happy news.
The loved-up pair met three years ago, in October 2019, when Mollie was auditioning for a performing arts college in the North West. Despite being in different years, love appeared to blossom when they got the chance to do a scene together during an acting class.
"We did a duologue together and I honestly couldn’t take my eyes off her," Alex, who has grown up on screens having joined Corrie 14 years ago, told OK! Magazine as they exclusively revealed their happy news to the publication.
