“There has never been an easier answer to a question…. Yes! Feel so incredibly blessed.

“Wishing you all a wonderful 2019 and so much love for the year ahead.”

Mark Charnock, who plays Marlon Dingle in the soap, wrote: “Wonderful news!!! Congratulations lovely Fiona. What a way to go into 2019. Xx.”
