The 40-year-old 'EastEnders' legend - who plays Sonia Fowler on the BBC One soap - began dating Walford cameraman Marc Humphreys in 2015, and the pair got engaged a year later.

Now, she is keen to finally tie the knot, but cannot decide whether to have a big nuptials or do something "really easy".

She told OK! magazine: "We’d love to get married. We’ve been engaged for almost eight years!

“One minute I want a great big wedding, the next minute I think we could just go somewhere really easy. I’m very indecisive. But at some point I do think we’ll get our close family together at a lovely place in London, go to a restaurant and have a big party afterwards.

"Ten years would be a brilliant time to do it. Either 10 years together or 10 years engaged."

The actress – who has daughters Eliza, 13, from her relationship with ex Adam Cottrell, and Joanie, seven, with Marc - also emphasised the importance of finding a balance with your partner when you become parents.

She said: "Life can take over, kids can take over, and before you know it, you’ve had no time together on your own.

"You need to make time for romance. If it slips and we think we haven’t done anything nice for a month, we do bring it up. He’s better than me actually. He’ll bring it up more.

"We both fancy the pants off each other still, which is a good thing."

Natalie heaped praise on her fiancé for being an "absolutely amazing" father.

She said: "It was only a year or so into our relationship, if not less, when Eliza called him Daddy. So I feel like I’m really enjoying us as a family.

"And I’m looking forward to 10 years’ time when the girls are older. I’ll be 50, and Marc and I will be able to have our life. We’ll be able to do stuff together, whether that’s travelling or enjoying our interests."
