The 'EastEnders' actress - who got engaged to her partner Ben Bhanvra in May last year - has been planning their big day for last this year, but with restrictions being put in place to limit social gatherings amid the coronavirus pandemic, fans have asked if things might have to change.

During a Q&A on her Instagram Stories, a follower asked if the wedding was still going ahead, and she responded: "please, please, please, let it be...

"It's not for a little while, so I think we're going to be alright. [But] it's a scary time for everyone."

The soap star - who plays Ruby Allen on the soap - admitted she is scared as the current global crisis continues to impact like in the UK.

She added: "Of course, I think we all are. I keep going through waves. One minute I'm really, really scared and anxious and nervous and worried for every family member.

"And then I sort of have to tell myself that we're all in the same boat. We're all in this together, and that's the only thing we've got going for us."

Meanwhile, 'EastEnders' bosses recently confirmed fiming had been shut down amid the pandemic.

In a statement, the BBC said: "In light of the spread of Covid-19, after much consideration, it has been decided that filming on 'EastEnders' will be postponed until further notice.

"The decision was made after the latest government update. We will continue to follow the latest news and advice from the World Health Organisation and Public Health England.

"We have also taken the decision to reduce the amount of episodes we broadcast each week to two, so that we can ensure the audience can continue to enjoy 'EastEnders' in their homes for as long as possible."

'EastEnders' episodes will now air on Mondays at 8pm and Tuesdays at 7:30pm.
