Coronation Street star Alex Bain can’t stop smiling at his breathtakingly beautiful fiancée, Mollie Lockwood, as they prepare for their exclusive OK!

engagement shoot. “Oh, wow! There’s a living goddess in this room right now,” he gushes as she steps out of the dressing room in her stunning glitter tulle gown.

Alex – who plays Corrie chaos-causer Simon Barlow – then takes Mollie’s hand and gently guides her through the plush Manchester cocktail bar towards our camera crew. “I’m so nervous!” performing arts student Mollie, 19, admits before Alex, 20, gives her a peck on the cheek. “Don’t be, you’ll be amazing,” he reassures her.

The baby-faced lovebirds – who got engaged last October – managed to keep their exciting news under wraps right up until Christmas Day, when they made the announcement to their families. “We wanted to enjoy that special time together, just the two of us, for a while,” says Mollie, who claims she had no idea her boyfriend was a huge soap star during their first few weeks of dating. “My family absolutely love Mollie to pieces,” says Alex, who has a four-year-old daughter. “My mum and dad could just see how happy I was when I was around her.” Now the couple are ready to share their news publicly and as ourphoto shoot wraps up, the loved-up couple settle down for a chat with OK!, discussing everything from Nandos dates to moving in, starting a family and their plans for their big day… Congratulations, guys!
