The former Call the Midwife star met the Mr Selfridge actor in 2010 during a stage production in London, and Goodman-Hill subsequently left his wife and began a relationship with Raine.

Reports emerged over the weekend (25-26Jul15) suggesting the couple is engaged, and Goodman-Hill confirmed the news by thanking fans for their congratulatory messages on Twitter.com.

Goodman-Hill, who currently stars in sci-fi drama Humans, has two children from his previous marriage.
