Former Coronation Street star Faye Brookes has revealed she is engaged to fellow actor Iwan Lewis following a four-month whirlwind romance. The actress only went 'Instagram official' with her former co-star just before Christmas.
Faye, who starred as Kate Connor in ITV soap Corrie, has now revealed that she has said 'yes' after Iwan popped the question. But while they may have only been romanticly involved for a few short months, the pair have actually known each other for over a decade.
"We’re thrilled to announce that Iwan and I are engaged," she said of her happy news in an exclusive statement to OK! Magazine. "He proposed on New Year’s Eve. I am going to be marrying my best friend in the world after 16 years of friendship."
