Emmerdale actress Amy Walsh has just announced she is engaged to her long-term actor boyfriend Bradley Jaden!

The younger sister of ex-Girls Aloud singer Kimberley Walsh revealed to OK! magazine that the couple have actually been engaged since August 2016, when they went on holiday to Phuket, Thailand.

Speaking about the moment her actor beau popped the question, Amy said: "I genuinely didn't know what was happening until he got down on one knee.

"I just thought, no, this can't be that! Then I burst into tears. We were both crying and then he said some lovely things, but I can't remember what they were!"

Amy, who has played Tracy Shankley on the ITV soap for nearly three years, has been with Bradley for five years after being introduced by Amy's sister Kimberley after she starred alongside Bradley in Shrek The Musical.

Kimberley took over the role of Princess Fiona after Amanda Holden went on maternity leave where Bradley was the understudy for Shrek.

She explained to The Mirror in 2014: "She got friendly with him and invited him along to her 30th birthday party.

"She did some expert matchmaking. She is always very protective with me, ­especially when it comes to boys, so to have her approval of him early on helped him out in a big way.

"Before the party she told me: 'There is someone going along tonight who might be interested in you', so she planted the seed and it happened. We just hit it off, so it was thanks to her."

Cor, we wish we had an older sister to set us up with hotties like him!

But it seems that Bradley was equally as smitten with Amy, saying: "If I'm honest, I've known she's The One since I met her. I feel very lucky. She's the best thing that's ever happened to me.

"I started saving for a ring about two years ago and I bought it about seven months before we went to Thailand."
