Coronation Street star Mikey North, who plays Gary Windass, has revealed that he is engaged to his girlfriend of two years, Rachael Isherwood.
North told OK! Magazine that he proposed during a trip to the Lake District, and that Isherwood is "the best thing that has ever happened to me".
He said: "I told her to shut her eyes. When she opened them I was down on one knee with the ring. I was looking up at Rachael, with my knees getting wet, and I just said: 'Will you marry me?'
"In the moment before I proposed I was shaking like a leaf."
He continued: "I called my mum and I just couldn't stop crying."
North said he is now worried that he will cry on his wedding day.
He said: "I am dreading that I'll just cry my way through it! I am very sensitive and bawling my eyes out all the time. My hard man reputation is absolutely ruined!"
