Pop Idol star Gareth Gates and Coronation Street actress Faye Brookes are reportedly engaged, just four months after announcing their shock split.

The couple, who shocked fans with a split statement in September, reportedly rekindled their romance late last year, with reports today suggesting that Gareth has proposed to his actress girlfriend.

A source said, "Faye and Gareth are over the moon... They want to plan their future as a couple."

The lovely news comes months after fans were convinced the pair were back together, with Gareth posting a photo of the pair together as they celebrated Halloween in October. Sharing a snap of the pair dressed up, Gareth wrote, 'Celebrating Halloween with my best friend @faye_brookes 🖤'. sic
