Luke and Daisy got engaged in August 2019 when he popped the question to his former co-star during a holiday in Greece – after he got down on one knee with a ring he designed himself.
He penned: ‘She said yes @daisy_wood_davis is going to be my wife. I’ll take that.’
Daisy shared the same pictures and added: ‘On Thursday evening @lukejerdy asked me to marry him by the beach in front of my family.
‘I’ve never felt a happiness like this. It’s so surreal but nothing has ever felt more natural. I can’t wait to marry my best friend and celebrate how lucky we are to have found what we have.’

The cute couple met on the Hollyoaks set and quickly became inseparable.
Daisy starred Kim on the Channel 4 soap, playing a feisty nurse, but left in 2018 when her character went on the run after taking the blame for Glenn’s murder.
Luke joined the show in 2016 playing Jesse, the half-brother of Grace Black.
Daisy gushed: ‘I’ve never felt a happiness like this. It’s so surreal but nothing has ever felt more natural. I can’t wait to marry my best friend and celebrate how lucky we are’
Daisy previously admitted she wasn’t a big fan of sharing scenes with her significant other.
She told OK! magazine: ‘We’ve only had one or two scenes together, I get nervous. I don’t like it.
‘I’m not used to behaving myself around him or being serious. He was at my [character’s] wedding to Esther.’
