Maureen Lipman, known for her role as Evelyn Plummer on Coronation Street, has some exciting news to share about her upcoming wedding to fiancé David Turner. The actress revealed that she proposed to David during the summer but they are in no rush to walk down the aisle just yet.
In an interview on Lorraine, Maureen shared, "We are astounded by the fact that you can have a love affair at this age." She also explained that David had suggested they get married on a special day in the Jewish faith, Tu B'Av, where a woman can ask a man to marry her. Maureen jokingly proposed to him while they were on a train from Edinburgh and he happily said yes.
While they haven't picked a date yet, Maureen told The Mirror that they are currently looking for wedding venues. She added, "We'll probably be engaged for about another five years – we'll get married in the hospital!" But one thing's for sure, their first dance will be anything but ordinary as former Strictly judge Arlene Phillips has offered to choreograph it.
Arlene shared, "I'm staging the choreography for the wedding dance. We'll create something special so you don't have to stomp – it will be different, no ordinary ball." Fans are eagerly waiting to see what the talented choreographer comes up with for the happy couple.
Maureen also revealed that she has signed on for another year on Coronation Street, much to the delight of fans. She joined the cast in 2018 as Evelyn and has become a beloved character on the show. In recent storylines, Evelyn has reconnected with her grandson Tyrone Dobbs and formed a strong bond with Roy Cropper.
But for Maureen, her upcoming wedding is the most exciting thing on the horizon. She previously played a different character on the show in 2002 and is thrilled to be returning in a new role as Evelyn. With her wedding plans in the works and her continued role on the show, Maureen's fans have much to look forward to in the coming year.
