The former 'EastEnders' actress - who has previously been in relationships with TV stars Matt Johnson and Joe Swash - was spotted with a huge diamond ring on her left hand this week, but she's remaining tight-lipped on details of her love life.

She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I'm not saying anything - I cringe when I read about my love life."

The 34-year-old star started dating doctor Marius last April, and the pair were first spotted publicly together at Wimbledon.

Introducing her partner at the time, she said: "He's not an actor, he's a chiropractor. That's sort of how we met..."

Kara previously dated her 'Strictly Come Dancing' professional dance partner from 2010 to 2014.

The blonde beauty previously claimed the producers put her with the dancer knowing they were both single.

She said: "I was single and they put me with the single guy! I was so angry.

"I was determined we wouldn't get together and then of course you're spending so much time with this person and he was so wonderful... So yes, it was inevitable really. It was my worst nightmare. I hate people knowing everything."

Kara admitted she felt more "comfortable" in her own skin since splitting from Artem.

She said previously: "Being on your own means you have no choice but to concentrate on yourself and that's been a really good thing for me. I've immersed myself in work I love, I'm finding time for things

I enjoy, like painting - I love to paint - and I've taken up yoga and wall climbing.

"It's funny, because all of a sudden I've become comfortable in my own skin. I've got this energy I didn't have in my 20s. I've done everything a bit topsy-turvy, in that I always used to be a homebody, vegging on the sofa, but now I'm enjoying going out and having fun. I've got a bit of catching up to do, for sure."
