EastEnders star Jessie Wallace is to marry her policeman beau after he proposed to her at the weekend. The handsome PC decided to pop the question just four months after they first started dating, and the couple were seen buying an engagement ring on Tuesday.
The pair first met when Jessie appeared before magistrates charged with a traffic offence. Dave, a uniformed officer based in Chelmsford, was ordered to drive her home after she was mobbed by photographers outside the courthouse. And it seems their chance encounter marked the beginning of fairytale romance, as they began dating shortly afterwards.
Across the water in Ireland, meanwhile, Westlife's Nicky Byrne has tied the knot with his girlfriend Georgina Aherne. The pair were married in a low-key ceremony at a Wicklow registry office, ahead of a lavish church wedding to be staged outside Paris next weekend.
They had originally planned to have both their civic and church weddings in France, but authorities told them they would have to be legally married in Ireland first.
Nicky, who was wearing jeans and a red baseball cap, will doubtless choose some rather more formal attire for the main event. He and Georgina, who is the Irish prime minister's daughter, will be joined by hundreds of friends and loved-ones when they hold their reception at the historic Chateau D'Esclimont.
