EastEnders star Natalie Cassidy has got engaged to her cameraman boyfriend Marc Humphreys.
Humphreys, who has previously freelanced on the BBC soap, popped the question as the couple celebrated their one-year anniversary over the weekend.
The news comes following a turbulent time for the actress, who is known for her role as Walford's Sonia Fowler.
The 32-year old called off her previous engagement to Adam Cottrell in 2013, who she has a five-year old daughter with.
Cottrell had previously been sentenced to 120 hours of community service and given a restraining order after he assaulted her twice in 2011.
Cassidy has played Sonia on EastEnders intermittently for the last 15 years, making a full-time return to the show last year.
