Rebecca and Dan got engaged back in 2018 but had to delay their wedding due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Who did Rebecca Ryan play in Coronation Street?
Rebecca played Lydia Chambers in Corrie until last year, sharing an emotional goodbye message at the time.
"That's Lydia over and out!! I have had the most amazing time on the cobbles and it's an experience that I will never forget!!" she said.
"Thank you so much for all the lovely comments, I see them all and I appreciate every single one! Bye Lydia it's been a blast."
She has since teased a comeback after she got an apology from her ex Adam Barlow (Sam Robertson).
She told the Metro: "I think now we have that redemption, people have seen she is not just this crazy woman just doing it for no reason, it would be good to explore it a bit more.
“And what she is really like as a person, I’d love to do it."
