The 'Loose Women' panellist has been dating the 35-year-old actor since the end of 2015 and is seemingly keen to take their relationship to the next level in the near future as she has been talking about getting engaged and getting hitched every day.

Speaking to the Daily Mirror newspaper, she said: "I joke about wanting to get married all the time. Even if I wasn't with Joe I still want to have a wedding and wear a dress one day. I don't think I'd engage in a relationship if I didn't think it was forever, otherwise what's the point? So I really hope Joe's the one. I have been in relationships where I've thought they were forever but they weren't, so you just never know."

And the 28-year-old beauty - who already has sons Zach, nine, and Leighton, five, from two previous relationships - would also like to have a baby with her beau, who has 10-year-old son Harry with Emma Sophocleous, after seeing her sister with her new baby.

She explained: "I definitely want more children and it does make me broody when I see people have babies. I've looked at her and been like, 'I want one of those! I don't know if it's in Joe's plan! - but it's in mine!"

Meanwhile, the former 'X Factor' contestant has grown in confidence over the years and she thinks that's part of the reason why her relationship with the former 'EastEnders' actor works so well because she doesn't rely on him for "reassurance."

She said recently: "Joe and I have a great relationship and I think one of the reasons is that I'm so secure in myself - I never look to him for reassurance.

"I have been very insecure in previous relationships and for the first time, I feel I'm valuable and I love myself. It took me so long to feel like this - but I know I'm a catch.

"This is the best relationship I've been in."
