Loose Women star Lisa Riley has announced she's now engaged! The former Emmerdale actress took to Twitter to reveal her massive news, even showing off her huge engagement ring.

Lisa, who has been dating her mystery boyfriend Al for three years, made the announcement on Twitter with an emotional caption.

She wrote, 'Yes I can now confirm the rumours are true... I have got engaged... My soul mate and best mate and love of my life Al is the best thing to have ever happened to me... We have absolutely NO date set for ANY wedding day, just happy together... Zero fuss, just firmed our togetherness😘.'

Celebrities replied to the happy tweet with their own congratulations, led by Lisa's 2012 Strictly Come Dancing partner Robin Windsor, who Lisa cheekily revealed actually knew about their relationship back when it began.

The news is a happy distraction for the 41-year-old, who was recently told she may never be able to have children - something she's always hoped for.

Notoriously private Lisa told The Daily Mirror that she'd discovered her eggs were "not good quality" which meant that IVF would most likely not work for her.

She added, "Finding out that I was unlikely to get pregnant was a blow. We have decided now that we aren’t going to go down that route, and now that we have made that decision I could not be happier."

Congratulations to the happy couple!
