It's another EastEnders wedding! After a whirlwind romance, soap star Jessie Wallace, who plays Kat Slater, is to wed her Essex police officer boyfriend Dave Morgan - but don't bank on a knees up at the Old Vic.

The doting pair, who have been dating for just four months, are expected to wed in secret away from the media glare which brought them together.

The couple met when PC Morgan, 28, based at Chelmsford police station, was asked to escort Wallace, 31, away from the town's magistrates court in April after she had appeared for a drink-drive hearing.

She denies drinkdriving in Chelmsford and faces a trial in the autumn.

Colleagues at the police station today confirmed PC Morgan had popped the question and they were engaged.
