Former Coronation Street star Lucy-Jo Hudson has announced her engagement to partner Lewis Devine after eight years together. The 42-year-old actress, best known for playing Katy Harris on the ITV soap, shared the news on Instagram, saying she is 'on cloud nine'.
Hudson revealed that Devine proposed during a trip to the Lake District, a location significant to their early relationship. 'He took me back to the Lakes, where some of our first memories began,' she wrote. 'We spent the day reminiscing, just us, walking through the most beautiful quiet gardens with no one else around.'
The proposal was a surprise, with Hudson admitting she had 'no idea' it was coming. 'I was already crying and saying YES before he'd even finished asking me,' she said. 'No big audience, no big show, just us, and a quiet, perfect moment that meant everything.'
Hudson and Devine, who met while starring together in a stage production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in 2017, have a blended family. Hudson has a daughter, Sienna, from her previous marriage to Coronation Street actor Alan Halsall, whom she divorced in 2018.
The actress, who also appeared in Hollyoaks and Casualty, shared photos of the couple dressed up and a mirror selfie showing off her diamond ring. She concluded her announcement: 'Thank you for choosing us, always. I love you baby and I can't wait to marry you.'
