"We're very excited," actress Jess tells HELLO! in an exclusive interview and shoot at the couple's home in Essex.

"I've been dreaming of a fairytale wedding since I was little, when I used to dress up in my mum's net curtains. Now I can't wait for the moment I've been imagining for so long, walking up the aisle in a fabulous dress to marry Will."

In the interview, Jess reveals that the wedding - which HELLO! reveals will happen in June next year – is set to take place in Majorca. "We've enjoyed some amazing holidays here and I practically grew up on the island because it's where my family has a second home," Will tells the magazine.

The couple plan to marry next June

Jess also tells the magazine that her brother Mark set her up with Will after she had given up on finding someone special. "After kissing a lot of frogs, I reached 32 and thought: 'It's not going to happen.; I felt lonely and sad and was panicking about my body clock. "Mark was encouraging. He told me: 'Someone with a heart like yours will never be alone, Jess.'"

And she also recalls details of Will's romantic proposal in the French ski resort of Courchevel back in February.

"He took me by complete surprise," Jess says. "At breakfast one morning he told me he was feeling unwell and returned to our room. When I went to find him, the door was ajar and there was music playing. There were candles lining the hallway, red rose petals scattered across the floor, flowers, red heart-shaped balloons and two glasses of champagne waiting. I was stunned.

"Then Will called me out on to the balcony. With the snowy mountains behind him, he went down on one knee and asked me to marry him.
