Former Hollyoaks star Jessica Ellis announces her engagement
Former Hollyoaks star Jessica Ellis has announced the happy news that she's engaged.
Jessica – who played Tegan Lomax on the Channel 4 soap – revealed that her partner Michael Shaw had popped the question over the weekend.
Sharing the news with followers on Instagram, Jessica wrote: "Well yesterday was a bit of alright thanks to my fiancé." As well as a few photos of the happy couple, Jessica also shared a close-up of her engagement ring, complete with rainbow-coloured stones.
Jessica's news comes over two years after her exit from Hollyoaks, when her character Tegan Lomax was killed off in one of the soap's dramatic stunts.

Speaking to Digital Spy following her heart-breaking exit, Jessica admitted: "Obviously I was sad. It's the end of an era and I loved working there, but I was excited to be part of the stunt and I thought it was a really exciting death...
