Amy Walsh and Toby-Alexander Smith are engaged.

The 'Emmerdale' actress and the former 'EastEnders' star - who played evil serial killer Gray Atkins in the BBC One soap - are to marry after he popped the question in Ibiza.

Toby-Alexander shared a picture of himself and Amy, and wrote on Instagram: "So this happened... [ring emoji]"

Amy posted three snaps of the happy couple in Ibiza, and she added the caption: "Before. During. After. [love hearts and diamond emojis]"

The star's sister, Girls Aloud singer Kimberley Walsh, was quick to congratulate the pair.

She commented: "The best news"

Several 'EastEnders' stars also congratulated the couple - who met in the audience at 'Strictly Come Dancing' in 2019 - via the 31-year-old actor's Instagram.

Emma Barton (Honey Mitchell) commented: "Awwwww Congratulations.. love you both (sic)"

Tony Clay (Callum Highway) posted: "Love this! Congrats mate!! (sic)"

Several 'Emmerdale' stars also wished the pair well.

Michelle Hardwick (Vanessa Woodfield) posted: "So so exciting! Gorgeous news"

Natalie Ann Jamieson (Amy Wyatt) wrote: "Aw, look at these - absolutely love!!! The most gorgeous news from the most gorgeous couple!! (sic)"

Amy and Toby-Alexander welcomed their first child together into the world in January, daughter Bonnie, now seven months.

They said at the time: "Well ... it’s been a busy week! Hope you all had a good one. Happy new year from the three of us."

And after his 'EastEnders' character Gray was arrested for three murders during a March episode, Toby-Alexander admitted he wanted to be a "full-time daddy" for as long as possible following his Albert Square exit.

When asked what's next for him, he said: "Changing nappies, fixing breast pumps. If I stand up, I just rock from side to side - that's my go-to now, 24-7.

"There's potentially some things in the pipeline but right now I am very happy to be a full-time daddy for as long as I can be."
