Lucy Mecklenburgh has shared her surprise after fiance Ryan Thomas bought a new home in Manchester for them.
Lucy, 29, was thrilled when her man picked a home for them on his own.
The former The Only Way Is Essex star shared her delight on Instagram with a photo of the couple standing at the front door holding their key with their doormat reading 'Home Sweet Home.'
The excited mother-of-one wrote: "New house, new project, new memories to be made.
"@ryanthomas84 bought our new Manchester home without me viewing it he is a very brave man hahahah!!!"
And the star has promised to keep followers updated on their progress.
"I’ll be posting the full renovation process on @lucymeckinteriors," she said.
The congratulations came pouring in for the couple who have a baby boy Roman who was born last March.
Catherine Tyldesley wrote: "Awwwwwwww yeyyyyy!!! Congratulations my loves xxxxx"
"So exciting," said Vicky Pattison.
And she pressed the button on the love-heart eyes emojis.
And Lucy's best pal Lydia Bright said with a love heart: "Soooo exciting."
Manchester actor Ryan, 36, played Jason Grimshaw in Coronation Street from 2000 to 2016.
He asked Lucy to marry him on a romantic holiday in Italy.
The Celebrity Big Brother winner popped the question to Lucy in the cliffside village of Positano in southern Italy's Amalfi Coast.
Sharing photos of the pair embracing over an al fresco dinner for two, with idyllic views of the coast, a delighted Ryan told his followers on Instagram: "Welcome to the family."
Two months later the couple, who met on the reality TV show Celebrity Island With Bear Grylls in 2017, announced that they were expecting their first child.
While she was pregnant with Roman she addressed their living arrangements after being quizzed by fans.
During a question-and-answer session on her Instagram stories, she said they would live together in two homes.
They would stay mainly in her native Essex to be near Lucy's mum, but they would also regularly travel back to Manchester to see Ryan's family.
While he was back up north Ryan did some deliveries for his younger brother Adam's restaurant The Spinn in Gatley.
