GWYNETH PALTROW - PALTROW 'HOPES' TO MARRY CHRIS MARTIN

Screen beauty GWYNETH PALTROW has given the strongest hint yet that boyfriend CHRIS MARTIN is the one for her - admitting she "hopes" to marry soon.

The OSCAR-winning actress, who has been dating the COLDPLAY singer for a year, has kept tight-lipped about her and Martin's plans after the very public ends of her affairs with BRAD PITT and BEN AFFLECK.

But during an interview on British TV chat show PARKINSON, which has yet to be screened, Gwyneth was asked whether she wants to wed, to which she replied, "I don't know. I hope so."

When host MICHAEL PARKINSON asked whether her husband would be Chris Martin, Gwyneth coyly said, "I'm the wrong person to ask - ask him."
