CORONATION Street star Nicola Thorp has announced her engagement.
Nicola, 34, played Nicola Rubinstein in the ITV soap until 2018, before briefly reprising the role in 2019.
The actress took to Instagram on Sunday evening to share a picture of her and new fiance Nikesh Patel.
Nikesh, 37, has appeared in a number of TV shows including Indian Summers, Starstruck and the mini-series Four Weddings and a Funeral.
The picture saw them dressed up in glam outfits with balloons behind them.
As they both pulled a wide-eyed, shocked face at the camera, Nicola held her left hand up to the camera, showing off her engagement ring.
The stunning piece of jewellery featured a teardrop shaped emerald surrounded by diamonds on a gold band.
The second picture saw Nikesh taking the selfie as Nicola leaned her head against his and smiled with her hand on his chest.
The star didn't add a caption to her pictures, but her famous friends were quick to congratulate her on such happy news.
Dermot O'Leary wrote: "Hey! The best news. Congrats x"
Actress Natalie Emmanuel wrote: "Awwww yaaaaaaaay Congratulations!!!!" alongside lots of clapping and loved up emojis.
Fellow former Corrie star Richard Fleeshman also posted a series of clapping emojis to congratulate the couple.
