EastEnders star Louisa Lytton forced to delay her wedding
It’s some much-needed good news for the actress and partner Ben after they were forced to delay their wedding due to the pandemic.
Louisa got engaged to Ben in May 2019 during a romantic break in the Maldives to celebrate her 30th birthday.
Ever since then, she has been planning her big day, which is set to take place in New York.
But with restrictions, Louisa delayed her wedding.
Louisa revealed in an interview in January with OK! magazine how her wedding is postponed until July.

However they could end up having to postpone their wedding again.
She said: “We’ve booked the wedding for July, we just don’t know if it will go ahead. We’ve said that if we can’t have the exact wedding we want, with all our guests, we’ll postpone it again.
“Otherwise to me that’s not a wedding – it’s not the wedding I would want. It’s not worth it for us.”
