Sir Ben Kingsley is to marry new love Daniela Barbosa.

The 'Ghandi' legend, who announced his relationship with the actress to the world when they attended a Hollywood premiere last year, has revealed the pair are engaged.

Sir Ben, who has been married three times before, said: "I'm very happy. Marriage is going to happen, but I don't know when. I call her my fiancée because she is."

Daniela, 32, who uses the stage name Daniela Lavender, has appeared in BBC TV drama 'Casualty' and also had a role in Sacha Baron Cohen's 'Ali G Indahouse'.

Ben's marriage to German aristocrat Alexandra Christmann lasted 15 months, before her extra-marital affair with estate agent Sammy Brauner was revealed in candid photographs.

The 63-year-old actor was previously married to director Alison Sutcliff, and before that to actress Angela Morant.
