30-year-old insurance broker, Jamie, proposed to Sheridan with a £10,000 ring last year, three months after meeting on dating app Tinder.

The Gavin and Stacey star has previously said she felt "lucky" to be pregnant during the coronavirus pandemic as it has given Jamie and her something to focus on during such a strange time.

Congratulations Sheridan and Jamie!
