Huge congratulations!

Coronation Street’s Helen Flanagan is engaged to her footballer boyfriend, Scott Sinclair.

The Celtic player announced their happy news on social media on Thursday night, alongside a photo of the moment he popped the question.

And it looks like it really was the happiest place on earth.

The photo shows them standing in front of Cinderella’s castle at Disneyland, with Scott down on one knee and holding out the ring.

The couple, who are already parents to a little girl named Matilda, are expecting their second child this year.

Earlier this year, the 27-year-old actress admitted she had been pointing her beau “in the right direction for an engagement ring”.

She told OK! Magazine in April that they were going to be welcoming a second daughter, and that she wanted to wait until after they were married to have more children.

She explained:

“I definitely want another baby but I’m going to wait until I’m in my thirties, after we’re married.

“I’ve pointed Scott in the right direction for an engagement ring!

“We’ve been together for nearly nine years and we’ll soon have two kids, so it’s about time. But I want to have a romantic proposal, first of all!”
