Yahoo News Coronation Street's James Burrows gets engaged to girlfriend
Congratulations are in order for Coronation Street star James Burrows, who recently popped the all-important question to Sophie Coates – and she said yes!
James, who plays Michelle Connor's biological son Ali Neeson, shared the happy news with fans on Instagram, revealing that he proposed to his long-term girlfriend in the middle of Lake Windermere over the weekend.
(There's no escaping any awkward moments there, is there?)
Alongside a series of loved-up photos from the Lake District, James told fans: "So at the weekend I asked my best friend to be my wife on a boat in the middle of the lake and she said yes and it's made me one very happy man".

Equally thrilled, a number of James' Corrie co-stars offered their best wishes and congratulations to the happy couple.
"Wahey! Congratulations you guys!" Charlie de Melo, who plays Imran Habeeb, wrote. Jack P Shepherd (David Platt) and Julia Goulding (Shona Ramsey) were also feeling the love, commenting "Congrats burrows!" and "Congratulations to both of you!".
