Alison King Confirms Engagement

Coronation Street's Alison King has confirmed her engagement by introducing her fiancé David Stuckley to the world.

In an exclusive interview with OK! magazine, the actress revealed that David, an IT salesman, popped the question while on an intimate Mediterranean cruise this summer.

Showing off her platinum and diamond ring, Alison recalled: "It was just a few days after our one-year anniversary. I had an inkling he was going to pop the question because he kept putting something on my finger and going: 'Right, close your eyes and forget this ever happened!'

"We'd also discussed marriage, too. I think we both went from: 'No, we don't ever need to get married', to: 'Oh, we really want to get married!'."

David eventually got down one knee during the trip to Portugal with friends.

"I'd bought him a Rolex as an engagement present too, and I took it along just in case he asked as I had an inkling he would! But as we drove towards the port at Albufeira, there were black clouds over the sea. The taxi driver was like: 'You're going on a boat? You're kidding, right?'."

David added: "The crew were all in on the surprise, so they said: 'We're not going to cancel, don't worry!' We got out of the marina and the waves were huge! I wouldn't have dared to hold the ring in case it flew out of my hands. So I asked them to turn us around and they took us into the marina, where there were no people around."

The groom-to-be continued: "Once the crew had turned off the engine and gone downstairs, I got really nervous and started stumbling over my words. I thought, I've got to ask her now, so it was then that I got down on one knee and asked her to marry me. I got emotional! I didn't know what she was going to say."

Since their engagement, the happy couple have already chosen a venue for their big day, but Alison is yet to find a dress.
