The 'Coronation Street' star has shared the happy news that she is engaged to her partner Adrian, just weeks after they announced they are expecting their first child together.

Taking to Twitter, she wrote: "HE PROPOSED .............. I said YES!!!! ... This year is turning out to be quite wonderful. (sic)"

Hayley - who also starred in 'Emmerdale' and won the 2010 series of 'Dancing In Ice' - announced the news she is expecting her first child last month.

The 42-year-old actress admitted they "couldn't be happier", writing: "EXCITING NEWS TWEET!! ... I'm so pleased to tell you all ... I'm expecting my first child with my wonderful boyfriend Adrian!! ... I've always wanted to be a mum and didn't think I could have children. And now, at the ripe old age of 42 - I'M PREGNANT! ... We couldn't be happier. (sic)"

Before meeting Adrian, the 'Shameless' star dated Marcus Brigstocke from 2010 until 2014.

At the time, the actress admitted she was too busy to have children and is "scared" of nappies.

She said: "My body feels 37 but I still feel 21. I sometimes forget that I'm going to be 40. It would be lovely to have kids in the future but for now my main ­concentration is my work. I'm not scared of nappies or screaming babies but I'm just not at that point. Not many of my friends have settled down either. I'm a workaholic. It's always work, work, work, I can't switch it off."
