Samantha Janus 'to marry' long-term love

EastEnders star Samantha Janus has agreed to marry her long-term partner Mark Womack, according to a report.

The actress, who plays Ronnie Mitchell in the BBC One soap, has been in a relationship with Womack for ten years. They first met when they worked together on the police drama series Liverpool 1.

Janus is now said to be planning to tie the knot with the actor in an intimate spring ceremony. They will be joined by their two children, eight-year-old Ben and three-year-old Lily-Rose.

"They just decided this will be the year they finally married," a source told The Sun. "They love each other and have two beautiful kids so there was no big proposal. They just thought it was the right time."

The pair's relationship ran into difficulties two years ago, leading to a split, however they decided to reunite soon afterwards.
