She told OK! Magazine: “We’re getting married towards the end of the year in the UK. It’s been a bit stressful as there are so many decisions to make!
“We’d like an Irish-themed wedding as my family is from southern Ireland. I’ll be inviting my friends from EastEnders too.”
The star added: “In bed at night I’ll show Ryan styles of wedding dresses on my phone and ask him what he thinks.
“It’s because it’s such a hard decision to make, although I wouldn’t show him the actual dress I choose before our big day.”
