This Morning and Dancing On Ice host Holly Willoughby is one of the most famous TV presenters in the UK, but her older sister Kelly Willoughby has a pretty important role coming up herself!

Kelly, who is good friends with newly engaged couple Gareth Gates and Faye Brookes, has been asked by the couple if she will MARRY them!

Speaking to OK! Magazine after their swanky engagement party, Coronation Street star Faye said, “We asked her Kelly Willoughby if she would get ordained and marry us, and she said yes!"

The news comes after former Pop Idol star Gareth announced he'd proposed to Faye, despite the pair announcing their split back in September 2018.

After putting their differences aside, Gareth and Faye rekindled their romance, with Gareth popping the question to the soap star during a trip to New York in November.

Speaking to OK! Magazine, Gareth revealed he penned a 17 MINUTE song about their six years together, incorporating things which mean a lot to the couple. He told the publication, “It was all about the six years we’ve spent together and I incorporated bits of songs that mean a lot to us as a couple. I got a bit carried away though – it went on for 17 minutes!”

Faye, who plays the role of Kate Connor in Coronation Street, then added, “We were both crying the whole way through. Once it was finished, Gareth got down on one knee and said: ‘Will you spend the rest of your life with me?’ And of course I said yes straight away”.

SOOOO CUTE! 😍

We can't wait to see the wedding photos! 👰
