The couple - who played lovers Simon and Tara on comedy series 'The Inbetweeners' - are said to have decided to tie the knot after seven years together, UniLad.com reports.

Meanwhile, Joe previously admitted he is "always trying to impress" his girlfriend.

He confessed: "I always try to impress my girlfriend Hannah by any means I can and I'm very protective about her. I think I am romantic. I've tended to have some serious, long-time monogamous relationships.

"Well they've been monogamous - I'm such a romantic. I'd only ever have sex with one girlfriend at a time ... I've never had cojones to be a player, and I don't know any men who do. Some imply these lots of girls, and never see them again after one night, but I don't know that's actually true."

And Joe, 33, also believes a sense of humour is really important in any relationship.

He added: "A sense of humour is pretty much favorite quality in any person. There's lot of embarrassment involved in a relationship and, if you've got a chance of humour, you can sit around those bits.

"It becomes a way of making somebody feel comfortable. You have to accept. If you are a man, you're bit of a fool, and a sense of humour is a way of taking responsibility for your own awkwardness and patheticness."
