The couple, who are best known for their roles in the popular London-based BBC soap opera, met during a Strictly show in 2019.

Since then, the soap stars revealed to OK! magazine that they had married while in Montenegro after their meeting in the BBC Strictly Come Dancing audience all those years ago.
Amy Walsh told the publication: "It was honestly the most perfect day. It surpassed all my expectations and more. I felt so surprisingly present on the day and loved every second. Now I’m just in pure bliss."
They exchanged vows in front of their friends and family in a gorgeous ceremony.
Guests at the event included Emmerdale stars Natalie Ann Jamieson, Olivia Bromley and Louisa Clein.
Amy walked down the aisle with her father, who was recently diagnosed with terminal cancer, explaining: "He knows he only has a certain amount of time left, so it was important for him to be there."
The pair announced their engagement in August, taking to the social media platform Instagram to share the proposal.
Toby snapped a selfie of the two lovers showing off Amy's new engagement ring, saying: "So this happened."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
