It is reported that Coronation Street star Faye Brookes and singer Gareth Gates are set to reveal their engagement, which comes four months after they announced they had split.

British tabloid The Sun claims Brookes and Gates will officially share their happy news with "a high-profile magazine" next week and throw their engagement party later this month in Manchester.

Brookes, who plays Kate Connor in Coronation Street, and Pop Idol runner-up Gates split in September and vowed to remain friends, only to get back together before Christmas.

"Faye and Gareth are over the moon," an unnamed source told The Sun.

"They'd been together a long time and the split was a bit of a blip, but they've totally got over it and now they want to plan their future as a couple."

Representatives for both Brookes and Gates refused to comment on The Sun's story.

Coronation Street airs on Virgin Media One and ITV on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
