Natalie Cassidy engaged to Ben Porter

Couple make their relationship official

Natalie Cassidy is thrilled about becoming a bride

Natalie Cassidy is planning to marry boyfriend Ben Porter.

The actress, 25, is said to have broken down in tears when he got down on one knee and presented her with a diamond ring.

‘She has never been happier,’ her rep confirms. ‘She has moved in with Ben.’

Natalie – who played Sonia Jackson on BBC soap EastEnders – has left her £650,000 north London property to start planning for their big day.

‘[Her] home is huge and costs a lot to run,’ an insider tells the News Of The World.

‘She has been hit by the credit crunch like everyone else. She has set up home with Ben a couple of miles away and is saving up for her wedding.’

Natalie and Ben, 40, have been dating for 12 months. They are hoping to wed next spring.
