EastEnders star Louisa Lytton has revealed that she has got engaged to her American boyfriend Ben Bhanvra after he proposed during a romantic getaway to the Maldives recently. The actress, who plays Ruby Allen in the soap, said that she ‘burst into tears’ when he popped the question.

Ben had taken Louisa on holiday for a 30th birthday present and had planned an intricate proposal – but admitted it didn’t quite go to plan when they were interrupted by a cleaner! Nevertheless, it sounds like it became a joyous moment and the couple are now looking ahead to getting married.

In an interview with OK! Magazine, Ben shared: ‘I took Louisa to a quiet part of the island where I knew no one else would be around. I told her I wanted to fly my drone to get some aerial pictures of the island, although really I wanted it to capture a video of the moment I proposed.

‘As soon as I got it up in the air and reached to get the ring from the bag a cleaner walked past and was so mesmerised by the drone he was just stood next to us staring at it for ages. I had to wait for him to leave. The cleaner finally disappeared so I got a speaker out of my bag that I was going to use to play a song for when I proposed but the Wi-Fi signal was bad so I couldn’t get it to play.’

Despite it not going his way, Ben got down on one knee and just went for it and Louisa admitted to being taken completely by surprise and ‘crying like a baby’.

The couple intend to get married in America in 2021 but want to buy a house together first. And talk has already turned to babies!

Louisa beamed: ‘I want at least two children and Ben wants three so we’ll have to get cracking pretty soon after the wedding! I can’t wait to have babies, I’m very maternal so it’s been my dream for a long time to be a mum.’
