Actress Natalie Cassidy explains why she and her BBC colleague haven't gotten married despite being engaged for nine years.

Natalie Cassidy, known for her role as Sonia Fowler on the popular soap EastEnders, has opened up about her personal life and the reason behind why she and her fiancé have not tied the knot yet. The talented actress got engaged to BBC cameraman Marc Humphries in 2015, but they have yet to walk down the aisle after nine years. In a recent interview with OK! magazine, Natalie revealed that she has been considering wedding plans, but one of the reasons for the delay is because she wants a small and intimate celebration.

When asked about the reason for the delay, Natalie explained, "It's a lot of money, you know? But also, it's a matter of time and budget. I keep thinking, 'I'll just have a small wedding, I don't need anything extravagant'." She added, "But then I start thinking about how I want to have it at The Ledbury and have a Michelin star meal. I know I may sound like a bit of a snob, but that's just genuinely how I feel."

The talented actress is a proud mother to two daughters - Eliza, from her previous relationship with Adam Cottrell, and Joanie, who recently turned eight and is her daughter with Marc. Natalie also shared her excitement for marking 30 years of playing Sonia Fowler on EastEnders in 2023. She first appeared on the show in 1993 and has since become a fan favorite for her iconic behavior and love for playing the trumpet.

In recent episodes, Sonia's sister Bianca Jackson has been the only one who believes her innocence in the murder of Reiss Colwell's comatose wife, Debbie. Despite her claims, nobody has believed her, causing Bianca to turn to alcohol and eventually getting kicked out of The Queen Vic. Last month, Reiss was disappointed when his neighbors refused to sign his petition to get Sonia out of prison.

Natalie's portrayal of Sonia Fowler has captivated viewers for three decades, and fans eagerly anticipate her character's future on the show. As for her personal life, Natalie is content with her small family and is in no rush to have a lavish wedding. Whether or not she decides to have her dream Michelin star meal at The Ledbury, one thing is for sure, Natalie's fans will continue to support her in all her endeavors.
