Steph told OK! Magazine: ‘When we booked this holiday to the Maldives, Tom said, ‘Do you want to get married?’ and I just replied, ‘Yeah.'”
Tom added: ‘I was having a look online at where we were staying and I saw they did weddings.
‘I’m quite an impromptu person in some senses, so it just felt right. We just jumped at this chance.’

Stephanie unveiled the identity of her boyfriend – Tom – when the couple went Instagram official in March 2021, after dating for ‘a few months.’
They were engaged in December of that year, with Steph sharing that Tom proposed on their first anniversary.
She shared a series of loved up snaps of them together and showed her true feelings for her new man, by writing alongside: ‘My heart.’

Stephanie briefly dated businessman Riad Erraji – ex-husband of Natasha Hamilton – in 2015 before having a short-lived romance with Rick Shore.
The soap actress also dated former Eastenders star Michael Greco for six months, between 2016 and 2017.

The actress told fans on social media that she was ‘heartbroken’ after being told her long-running role was being culled as part of the cuts made for the cash-strapped soap.
