While Joel is the new villain of Coronation Street, thankfully actor Calum Lill who plays him leads a much calmer, happier life off-screen.
Taking to his Instagram on Sunday, the actor revealed he had proposed to longterm girlfriend Roberta.
Sharing a snap of them happily posing together in the countryside, Roberta showed off the diamond ring Joel had presented her.
