EastEnders star Louisa Lytton has been treated to a big surprise after being forced to cancel her summer wedding.
The actress, who got engaged to partner Ben Bhanvra last May, unfortunately had her wedding plans scuppered by the coronavirus pandemic, as a limit on social gatherings was put into place by the government.
However, the blow was somewhat softened on Friday (June 26) as she was treated to a surprise pre-hen picnic with her friends, who helped to make the most of the situation.

"What a special day, social distance celebrations are fast becoming my fave. A picnic with my girls in the sun. All that was needed x love you all x Thank you."
