Emmerdale actor Chris Bisson appears to have subtly played a part in his co-star Liam Fox's proposal to girlfriend Jo Hudson. Liam popped the question during a romantic break in Paris, and judging by his girlfriend's tweets and photos, the sweet gesture took place at the Le Train Bleu restaurant. The newly engaged couple were pictured enjoying a meal inside the restaurant, which features ornate gold décor, frescoes on the walls, stained glass windows and elaborate chandeliers.
After their meal, Liam and Jo posed outside the restaurant, with Jo showing off her sparkly new diamond ring. It turns out, Liam's co-star Chris helped choose the swanky eatery. "Diner au @trainbleuparis avec @Liamfoxactor. Merci @ChrisBisson pour la recommandation. C'est beau ici!!" Jo wrote, thanking Chris for the recommendation. The actor replied, "It's a fab place," while groom-to-be Liam also tweeted: "What an amazing recommendation @ChrisBisson."
