Jamie, 48, decided to pop the question while the couple were on holiday in Mexico – and he came up with the “perfect distraction” to make sure that she had no idea what was going on.

They were enjoying a meal at their favourite restaurant Chambao Kobe & Steakhouse in Cancun when the staff started singing happy birthday to him.

Speaking to OK! about the proposal, Jamie said: “Of course, all the restaurant staff were in on the surprise.

“So they emerged with a cake, singing and clapping with Jess sitting there thinking it was all going well and all about me and my supposed birthday.

“And then they changed the music that was playing to Marry You by Bruno Mars.”

Dentist Jess, 34, loved the thought behind the proposal and still gets teary thinking about it now.

She added: “Before I knew it there was this ring there and everyone was clapping and cheering.

“It was amazing; so wonderful and so very emotional.

“I wasn’t expecting it at all. It was a total shock. We managed to get a video of the whole proposal, too.

“It’s lovely to re-watch and remember. It still makes me cry!”

Jamie and Jess were first linked back in 2021 after they met through mutual friends.

The Hollyoaks legend was previously married to Corrie favourite Kym Marsh between 2012 and 2014.

The pair met in 2008 and share son Archie and daughter Polly.

Jamie also has a son called Billy.
