Coronation Street actress Sacha Parkinson is engaged to her long-term boyfriend, she has announced.<\/p>\n

The actress, who played Sian Powers in the ITV soap, took to Instagram on Friday, 13 October, to share the news, alongside a picture of her stunning engagement ring.<\/p>\n

The 31 year old captioned the post: \u201cI knew you were likely to take a wife! SCREAMING."<\/p>\n

It looked like she was proposed to on a beautiful yacht, as other pictures showed her hugging her new fianc\u00e9, with a sunset in the background. The pair then looked close as Sascha held her hand up to the camera to reveal the gorgeous ring.<\/p>\n

Celebrities were quick to congratulate the star. Corrie actress Michelle Keegan, who played Tina McIntyre in the soap, commented: "Awwwww congratulations my darling! So happy for you!" while Ellie Leach, who played Faye Windass and is currently starring in Strictly Come Dancing, said: "OMG CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!".<\/p>\n

Ryan Thomas, better known as Weatherfield's Jason Grimwshaw, and who recently announced he'd be appearing in the next series of Dancing On Ice simply added: "Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww."<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Fans also jumped on the comments, with one saying: "He\u2019s a very lucky man, make sure he knows that," and another adding, "AAAAGHHHH! my heart just burst all over againnnn."<\/p>\n

Sacha first appeared in Coronation Street back in 2009, playing a friend of Sophie Webster, played by actress Brooke Vincent.<\/p>\n

They swiftly went on to become the soap's first lesbian couple, but Sascha left after filming her last scenes in November 2011.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Back in 2018, Sacha bravely re-lived the moment she realised she had crippling endometriosis in a terrifying moment where she was left crawling on the floor in pain, fearing no one would find her.<\/p>\n

The actress was only diagnosed with the painful disorder a couple of years earlier, following years of bad period pain and a continual ache in her stomach.<\/p>\n

The disorder sees tissue that behaves like the lining of the womb found in other parts of the body including the ovaries and fallopian tubes.<\/p>\n

Yet it was only during a trip to Los Angeles, where she sweated it out in the gym, when the condition took hold.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Talking on TV show Lorraine, Sacha explained: "The pain was something I had since I was in school but I was unaware it was different to anyone else. As I was getting older, it got worse."<\/span><\/p>\n

She continued: "I try to avoid exercise like the plague but in LA everyone is super fit so I had jet lag and thought 'I'm going to exercise'.<\/p>\n

"I started doing burpees and after the third one I dropped to the floor.<\/p>\n

"I never had anything like that happen in my life and I crawled to one side of the bathroom because it was a tiled floor and it was cool.<\/p>\n

"The pain was so bad I couldn't keep still and I thought 'noone knows I'm here. I don't know what this is."<\/p>\n

Shortly after her harrowing ordeal, doctors discovered Sacha's condition and told her she had cysts which had twisted, causing the excruciating pain.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
