Vicky McClure sweetly spoke about her other half on Elizabeth Day’s How To Fail podcast, as she admitted she "just knew" he was the one when they first met. She said: "When we first spoke it was on the phone. I came off the phone and I just knew." Jonny was actually still married at the time, but after his divorce, the couple got together.

When did Vicky McClure get engaged?

Jonny proposed to partner Vicky on Christmas Day in 2017. Vicky spoke to the Nottingham Post about her very casual proposal and said: "He popped the question over a cup of tea - we moved onto the bubbles by 8.30am." It transpires, he actually hid the ring where they keep the teabags!

The couple then shared a sweet snap on Instagram to announce their engagement to the world. Vicky was seen to be showing off her sparkly new engagement ring, which features a large circular diamond and a classic gold band.

When will Vicky McClure get married?

She and Jonny have delayed getting married due to their busy schedules. The original plan was to get married in 2019 and then of course 2020 has been difficult due to the pandemic. Opening up to the Evening Standard last year, Vicky said: "It’s been chock-a-block [and] we don’t want to rush and feel like we are slotting it into a time period. We want time to plan – the amount of things you need to do is frightening."
