Inside EastEnders star Lorraine Stanley’s family holiday with lookalike sister and new fiancé

EASTENDERS star Lorraine Stanley has been enjoying a Barcelona getaway as she celebrates her engagement to long-term partner Mark Perez.

The actress - who plays Karen Taylor on the BBC One soap - shared the happy news with her last week.

Lorraine, 47, has been making the most of her break from Albert Square, by jetting off to Spain for some family time.

The TV star flashed a big smile as she posed on the beach wearing a pink and green halterneck swimsuit.

She looked over the moon to be joined by her lookalike sister Donna, who rocked a khaki bikini.

Her new fiancé Mark posed alongside pal, while holding a unicorn ring float.

Just days ago Lorraine confirmed that she was engaged engaged to her partner of nine years and showed fans the exact moment the proposal took place.

She confirmed the special moment took place on Mark's birthday last month.

A shirtless Mark appeared to be relaxing on a sun lounger at their home when Lorraine popped the question.

In a caption, she wrote: "Yep, I proposed to him on his birthday 25/6/23... and I know it's not a leap year, and I didn't plan it, it was the most impulsive thing I've done to date, but it felt like the perfect moment."

The actress took to Instagram to share a sweet snap of her with Mark to share the happy news before going into detail about the precious moment.

She could be seen beaming at Mark as she posed with her arm around him.

The star was dressed for the moment in a white dress with a sparkly tiara.

Lorraine simply captioned her photo: "Love you baby #Engaged." She added a series of emojis including a love heart and an engagement ring.

She and Mark have been together for nine years and last year she shared photos of them celebrating their eighth anniversary.

Lorraine regularly leaves fans speechless when looking worlds away from gobby Walford resident Karen in real life.
