Coronation Street star engaged on New Year's Eve

Kym Marsh, one of the stars of the long-running British soap opera, Coronation Street, was engaged on New Year's Eve to her boyfriend, Hollyoaks star Jamie Lomas, following a tumultuous 2009 for the pair.

In February, their son Archie Jay was born four months prematurely and did not survive, leading to the couple's separation in October. They rekindled their romance a month later and then, in front of his family at a party at their home, Lomas asked Marsh to marry him.

A friend told The Mirror, "When the clock struck midnight on New Year's Eve Jamie got down on one knee, pulled out a ring and proposed. There wasn't a dry eye in the house."

Marsh, who first found fame as a member of British reality TV-bred pop group Hear'Say, was previously married to former EastEnders star Jack Ryder, and has son David and daughter Emily with ex-boyfriend Dave Cunliffe. Lomas has a son, Billy, with ex-girlfriend Hayley Lever.
