Hollyoaks star Jude Monk McGowan announces engagement 3yrs after his character was killed off
HOLLYOAKS star Jude Monk McGowan has announced his engagement to partner Jessica Hern.
It comes three years after he was spotted working in a gym seven months after being killed off as evil Liam Donovan in the Channel 4 soap.
Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, McGowan posted a carousel of snaps documenting their special day.
Amongst the snaps, Jessica proudly showed off her stunning engagement ring.
The actor seemingly popped the question on Kamari Beach; a location in Greece on the east coast of Santorini island.
He captioned the adorable shots: “Only you, always. You who has taught me what loving and true partnership really means.”
Family and friends rushed to send their congratulations to the couple in the comments.
One commented: “That ring… so happy for you guys, beautiful couple xxxx”
“Awww I’m so so delighted by this! How gorgeous! Congratulations,” a second wrote.
Jude played Liam Donovan in the long-running soap from 2018 until 2020.
His character was involved in various plots including murder, blackmail and even a twisted hostage scene.
Since leaving Hollyoaks, Jude has traded fame for a job as a personal trainer.
According to The Sun, he decided to seek a different avenue of employment when the coronavirus pandemic left a devastating impact on the entertainment industry.
He now teaches twice weekly Strength and Core fitness sessions for £12 a pop.
