The 'This Morning' soap expert - who has 14-month-old daughter Betsey with partner Paul Fletcher - was congratulated by presenters Phil Schofield and Holly Willoughby on the show today (24.09.19) after Paul popped the question.

While announcing Sharon would be revealing all the latest soap gossip on today's show, Phil also said: "Congratulations, by the way."

Holly said: "That is lovely news to start the morning with, well done you."

Sharon shared a close-up of her engagement ring on the programme and had a huge smile on her face.

And just minutes after the 'This Morning' announcement, Sharon took to Twitter to reveal Paul popped the question over the weekend.

She tweeted: "So this weekend my Paul asked me to marry him. So happy to say yes."

Earlier this year, Sharon admitted she feared her baby was going to die when she woke up in blood six months into her pregnancy.

The 48-year-old screenwriter said: "When I saw the blood it put the fear of god into me.

"My blood pressure was massively high and I thought I was going to have to give birth months earlier than expected."

Sharon feared she would never be a mother after having seven IVF attempts and two miscarriages, and she didn't buy any baby clothes before the birth because didn't want to "jinx" things.

She said: "Before she was born I was convinced something was going to go wrong.

"Until Betsey was actually put in my arms and I heard her let out the most almighty yell, I always felt like someone was going to say it's all going to be taken away from me.

"I'd never allowed myself to go and buy something for the baby before I'd given birth. I wouldn't even let myself look at the baby clothes in a shop. I was terrified to jinx it."
