Sophie Austin has admitted she'd rather have a nap than organise their nuptials because she's not great at getting plans to line up and, therefore, she has left the entire wedding preparation - apart from her dress - to the 'Coronation Street' actor.

Speaking to OK! magazine, Sophie, 34, said: "I've always wanted to get married in Vegas. If I had the choice of planning a wedding, I'd rather have a nap! Shayne is better at organising things than I am. As long as I can pick my dress, I'm happy to leave the rest to him. Having Willow walk down the aisle with me will just make my day."

The couple - who have 13-month-old daughter Willow together - have been together since early 2016 but feel like they have known each other for a "lifetime."

The 33-year-old hunk explained: "I feel like I've known Sophie for a lifetime. It was meant to happen. Sophie and Willow complete me. We never really dated - that's what's mental. Everything sort of happened naturally. We've done everything backwards. We got together, had a baby and now we're getting married."

Shayne popped the question to Sophie on Boxing Day last year in front of their family - but the former 'Hollyoaks' actress wasn't dressed appropriately for the occasion.

Sophie said: "It happened on Boxing Day. In the past I had told Shayne that if he was ever going to propose I would love all my family to be there. We were stood in our hallway - I was wearing pyjamas and my hair was tied up with a pair of knickers!"

Shayne added: "I didn't feel nervous as it felt so right to do it then. There were 12 of Sophie's family there and my mum. That was the most romantic way I could think of proposing - and it saved on all those text messages afterwards!"
