The former 'Coronation Street' star and her 'Take Me Out - The Gossip' presenter beau are set to get hitched in a Tudor mansion in the county in south east England, despite neither of them hailing from the area.

While the raven-haired beauty, 27, is from Stockport, Greater Manchester, the 28-year-old star was born in neighbouring county, Essex.

A source revealed: "Mark and Michelle have been planning this day since they got engaged in 2013.

"Hours and hours of planning have gone into it from both of them."

The couple are reported to have sent out invites to hundreds of friends inviting them to the bash, which will be held at Hengrave Hall, located in the small market town of Bury St Edmunds.

The 350-acre estate has been described as "elegant, enchanting and exclusive" and will host the whole day's activities, with the loved-up couple tying the knot in the church of St John Lateran, located just yards away from the main hall where the reception will be held, and where guests have been invited to stay.

While 200 friends and family members are believed to have been invited to the evening party, approximately 120 people are expected to attend the ceremony itself, as well as the couple's wedding breakfast.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "They can't wait for the big day now. They'll have all their nearest and dearest there, including cast members from 'TOWIE' and 'Coronation Street'."
