Dancing On Ice star Faye Brookes gets engaged after just four months

Dancing On Ice star Faye Brookes is engaged after just four months of dating.

The former Coronation Street actress and theatre boss Iwan Lewis only started dating back in October, but the pair see a clear future ahead together.

It proved to be a memorable Christmas and New Year's for Faye after her beau popped the question on New Year's Eve.

Although they have only been dating for four months, Faye and Ivan believe that they have found soulmates in one another - and the theatre boss knew he couldn't wait any longer to ask Faye to be his wife.

“Faye and Iwan are engaged and could not be happier about it," a source told.

“They have only been dating for a short amount of time but they are both sure they have found their soulmates in each other.

“Faye has kept the news low key but she has been wearing her engagement ring in public."

The source went on to tell The Sun that Faye and Ivan have even moved in together, with the engagement being the 'cherry on the cake' of their whirlwind romance.

"They recently moved in together and getting engaged was the cherry on the cake. Both Faye and Iwan don’t want to waste time and are hoping to tie the knot as soon as possible.

The pair are reportedly planning an engagement party on February 4 to celebrate properly with all their friends and family.

Faye, 35, who was a runner-up on Dancing On Ice in 2021 and played Kate Connor in Corrie for four years until 2019, has been engaged before - to former Pop Idol star Gareth Gates.

Although their love story seemed to be perfect, the pair ultimately split, with Gareth demanding the £300,000 ring he bought for Faye be returned to him.

Faye previously admitted her relationship with Gareth was like a 'real fairy tale' - but it had a horror story ending.

The couple were both starring in Legally Blonde The Musical when they met - and Gareth was still married to his now ex-wife Suzanne Mole at the time.

Gareth and Faye announced their split in August 2019.

Their shock split came almost seven years after the former couple met in 2012.
