EastEnders star Natalie Cassidy discusses wedding plans

EastEnders' Natalie Cassidy has discussed her wedding plans, almost a decade after getting engaged.

The Sonia Fowler actress got engaged to cameraman Marc Humphries back in 2015 after they had been dating for about a year. Now, eight years later, she seems ready to tie the knot.

Speaking to OK!, Cassidy said: "We'd love to get married. We've been engaged for almost eight years!"

“One minute I want a great big wedding, the next minute I think we could just go somewhere really easy. I'm very indecisive. But at some point, I do think we’ll get our close family together at a lovely place in London, go to a restaurant and have a big party afterwards.

"Ten years would be a brilliant time to do it. Either ten years together or ten years engaged."

Cassidy said that the couple have always had kids around, as her daughter Eliza was three and a half when they first got together, and admitted that being parents can sometimes take over their lives. But they have a way of dealing with it.

"You need to make time for romance," she said. "If it slips and we think we haven't done anything nice for a month, we do bring it up. He's better than me actually. He’ll bring it up more.

"We both fancy the pants off each other still, which is a good thing."

The actress added that she feels like she physically could have another child, but doesn't want to deal with the "sleepless nights and all the baby paraphernalia".

She also said she's looking forward to ten years' time, when the kids are older.

"I'll be 50, and Marc and I will be able to have our life," she explained. "We'll be able to do stuff together, whether that's travelling or enjoying our interests."

EastEnders airs on Mondays - Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer.
