EastEnders star Louisa Lytton has admitted her wedding is in jeopardy due to the ongoing coronavirus crisis.
The EastEnders actress, 31, is due to get married to her fiancé Ben Bhanvra in August this year.
Louisa, who plays Ruby Allen in the BBC soap, has expressed her hopes that the summer wedding will still go ahead despite the current pandemic.
Louisa got engaged to Ben in May last year during a romantic break in the Maldives to celebrate her 30th birthday.

The soap star admitted she is scared by the current global health crisis.
She added: “Of course, I think we all are. I keep going through waves. One minute I’m really, really scared and anxious and nervous and worried for every family member.
“And then I sort of have to tell myself that we’re all in the same boat. We’re all in this together, and that’s the only thing we’ve got going for us.”
America recently shut its borders and went into lockdown, with all citizens urged to go into self-isolation.
The virus has claimed 205 lives in the US and infected more than 14,000.
Meanwhile, EastEnders bosses recently confirmed that filming has been shut down amid the pandemic.
In a statement, the BBC said: “In light of the spread of COVID-19, after much consideration, it has been decided that filming on EastEnders will be postponed until further notice.
“The decision was made after the latest government update. We will continue to follow the latest news and advice from the World Health Organisation and Public Health England.
“We have also taken the decision to reduce the amount of episodes we broadcast each week to two, so that we can ensure the audience can continue to enjoy EastEnders in their homes for as long as possible.”
EastEnders episodes will now air on Mondays at 8pm and Tuesdays at 7.30pm.
