Blackpool actress Lucy Fallon & former PNE star Ryan Ledson get engaged
Former Preston North End star Ryan Ledson proposed to his partner, Coronation Street’s Lucy Fallon, over the weekend.
Blackpool born actress Lucy and Liverpool born footballer Ryan have been together since 2020 after meeting through friends a few years before.
The pair, who are currently based at Ryan’s parent’s Ormskirk house whilst their new home is getting renovated, have also welcomed two children in that time.
Their eldest, Sonny, was born in January 2023, whilst little Nancy was born in January 2025.
Now the couple have even more things to celebrate as they look to be signing the knot at last.
Lucy, who has played Bethany Platt on Coronation Street since 2015, celebrated her 30th birthday over the weekend and she took to Instagram to reveal her favourite gift of all - a proposal.
The former Hodgson Academy and Blackpool Sixth Form College pupil shared a gallery of photos from across the weekend, with the first being of her and 28-year-old Ryan looking extremely delighted as Lucy showed off a glistening engagement ring.
In the caption, the soap star told her 594k followers: “ending the birthday weekend with my best friend as a fiancé!!!! ✨ i can’t wait to marry you @ryanledson8”
In the comments, fellow Blackpool soap star Hayley Tamaddon wrote: “Awww so happy for you lucy!😍”
Lucy’s Coronation Street collegaue, Natalie Anderson also commented: “Oh beautiful news!! Congratulations!!!”
Father of two Ryan had played at Preston North End between 2018 and 2025.
In May, he signed for League One’s Huddersfield Town but the new job doesn’t look like it means a big move for the family of four.
Although they did previously live in Blackpool, the couple’s new home is still in Lancashire, thought to be near Ormskirk where Ryan’s parents are based.
Lucy on the other hand is still a lead cast member of ITV’s Coronation Street, having reprised her role as Bethany Platt in 2023 after a three year break.
