Faye Brookes will marry fiancé this MONTH in intimate Cotswolds wedding after whirlwind romance with co-star
FAYE Brookes will marry her fiancé Iwan Lewis later this month after just ten months of dating.
The former Coronation Street actress, 35, and the theatre boss fell in love last year after previously meeting on a stage production of Legally Blonde.
And just four months later he got down on one knee and the couple have wasted no time planning their big day.
An insider said: “Faye has been really busy over the last few months with Strictly Ballroom but has been secretly planning her big day behind the scenes.
“She finished her stint on the show last month and it’s all stations go to pull off her dream wedding in just a couple of weeks’ time.
“Faye and Iwan have picked a stunning venue in the Cotswolds, not far from where they now live.

“It’s going to be a super low key affair and very intimate – with just their nearest and dearest in attendance.
“It’s not going to be a big glitzy event with celebs, there will be drama school friends and Faye’s oldest pals instead.”
Faye has made no secret about how excited she is for her big day and has already revealed she is wearing pjs from The Sleepover Club, with the words Mrs Lewis on them.
Last week she also had her ‘wedding brows’ done in preparation and hair extensions added to her hair.

She picked her wedding dress just weeks after Iwan popped the question
Faye, who was a runner-up on Dancing On Ice in 2021 and played Kate Connor in Corrie for four years until 2019, moved in with Iwan in Cirencester not long after they started dating.
Faye and Iwan first met when they performed in the West End stage version of Legally Blonde in 2011 and 2012 and have stayed friends.
She got together with Iwan at the end of last year following her split with her personal trainer boyfriend of three-years Joe Davis in July.
Faye has been engaged before to former Pop Idol star Gareth Gates.
The pair eventually broke up in 2019, with Gareth demanding the £300,000 ring be returned.
