Lucy Fallon’s boyfriend is thinking about buying an engagement ring – but he won’t pop the question for "a while".
The ‘Coronation Street’ actress’ significant other Tom Leech admits her cobbles co-stars are always asking him when he is going to get down on one knee, and while he isn’t planning to do so just yet, 23-year-old Lucy joked they are already "like an old married couple".
Tom said: "I do get asked about when I’m planning to propose a lot when we’re out with Lucy’s co-stars.
"After a few drinks, it’s only a matter of time before one of them sidles up to me and says: ‘So…?’ and points at their ring finger with raised eyebrows.
"I need to get a ring first, though, and depending on what Lucy is expecting, that might be a while yet!"
Lucy added: "We’re like an old married couple already."
Despite this, the pair are spending Christmas Day (25.12.18) apart from each other to be with their own families.
She said: "We’re both really close to our families so we don’t want to give up our own family Christmases until we absolutely have to, which is when we have kids I guess."
While Lucy doesn’t appear to be planning to have children just yet, her ‘Corrie’ co-star Kym Marsh is to become a grandmother after recently revealing her daughter Emilie Cunliffe is expecting her first child.
And Lucy believes the 42-year-old Kym will be the "most glamorous granny".
She added to OK! magazine: "I’m so excited, although Kym had let slip to me before the news was officially announced.
"Kym is going to be the most glamorous granny. I know her daughter Emilie as well and she’ll be an amazing mum."
