Faye Brookes has married her fiancé in the Cotswolds today at a lavish venue after just a couple of months of dating. The actress announced her engagement with her theatre boss beau Iwan Lewis in January earlier this year.
The former Coronation Street star, 35, fell head over heels for the theatre boss late last year after they first met while Faye was involved in the stage production of Legally Blonde.
The loved-up couple surprised fans when they announced their engagement just four months later, after Iwan popped the all-important question and asked Faye to be his wife as he wasted no time in putting a ring on the woman who he knew was 'The One' from the moment he laid eyes on her.

The lovebirds tied the knot at a lavish countryside ceremony and said their 'I do's at Shipton Moyne Church in the Cotswolds. The pair were seen driving off after the ceremony in a classic wedding car driven by Iwan.

Earlier this month, a source close to Faye revealed that she had been busy planning her Cotswolds wedding for six months.
Back in January, Dancing On Ice star Faye announced that she was engaged to Iwan after just four months of dating. It proved to be a memorable Christmas and New Year's for Faye after her beau popped the question on New Year's Eve.
Although they have only been dating for a few months, Faye and Ivan believe that they have found soulmates in one another - and the theatre boss knew he couldn't wait any longer to ask Faye to be his wife.
Faye, 35, who was a runner-up on Dancing On Ice in 2021 and played Kate Connor in Corrie for four years until 2019, has been engaged before – to former Pop Idol star Gareth Gates.

Faye previously admitted her relationship with Gareth was like a 'real fairy tale' – but it had a horror story ending. The couple were both starring in Legally Blonde The Musical when they met and Gareth was still married to his now ex-wife Suzanne Mole at the time.

Newlywed couple Faye and Iwan have known each other for 15 years, but decided to get hitched quickly and say they're not bothered by any negative comments over their plans.

Faye, who played Kate Connor on the cobbles, said earlier this year: “We’ve waited long enough. “I could have said this phrase in the past, ‘When you know, you know.’ But I’ve never truly understood what that really means until now. There’s no doubt, no worries, no cold feet."

The pair's nearest and dearest have been secretly hoping Iwan would propose to Faye and he did so traditionally by asking the actress' father for permission. Faye said her dad 'really trusts' her fiance and was delighted when he popped the question.
The Mirror has contacted Faye's representatives for comment.
