EASTENDERS actress Natalie Cassidy looked worlds away from her BBC soap character in her latest selfie with her rarely-seen fiance.
The Sonia Fowler star, 41, delighted fans with the Instagram snap showing her cuddling up with fiance Marc Humphreys.
Natalie looked dressed for the spring season in a pretty floral-print blazer jacket paired with a white vest top.
She added a diamond pendant necklace and matching earrings, as well as styling her hair to fall straight over her shoulders.
The EastEnders stalwart, who made her first appearance as Sonia in December 1993, sat on a train seat alongside TV cameraman Marc.
He wore a smart green polo shirt and flashed a smile to the camera as they headed on their date day.
In her image caption, Natalie wrote: “In today’s episode of Life With Nat I chat with my fiancé @camera_marc and I thank him for helping me get one out today with no warning.
“It’s so amazing having my own studio in the house so if I’m super busy I can squeeze a podcast in even at twenty to 11 at night.
“Enjoy.”
One fan was quick to write: “What a gorgeous picture!!! Just stunning.”
A second put: “Gorgeous couple of lovelies x” as a third commented: “Gorgeous pic of you both.”
One then quizzed: “Is there going to be a wedding with cameraman marc??? Now that would be a podcast.”
Natalie and Marc share daughter Joanie, aged seven.
She is also mum to 12-year-old Eliza from a previous relationship
FAMILY LIFE
Last month, Natalie shared a tender video showing her at home with daughter Joanie as she juggled her soap role with mum life.

In her video caption, she confessed her mum guilt and said: “I’m REALLY busy working this week.
“Getting home for 4pm and having a few hours to just sit and be with this one is really special.
“Even if she’s cheating.”
SHOCK STATEMENT
Meanwhile, Natalie recently revealed the sassy nature of her youngest in a candid interview.
She told how Joanie “hates” her do-gooder soap character – and doesn’t mince her words about the role.
Natalie told Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s Spinning Plates podcast: “She’ll go, ‘Mummy… Sonia’s so boring. I just don’t like watching you on here, honestly I just don’t like it.’
“I say, ‘I’ve been there a long time darling, there’s a lot of people who do like me’. She says, ‘Well, I’m not one of them.’ She actually fast forwards my bits, but I don’t know if that’s because I’m her mum or that’s just her take on Sonia.”
Last year, Natalie cozied up to the look-a-like youngster for a sweet snap before celebrating her seventh birthday later in the summer.
Natalie also stunned fans after revealing her eldest daughter Eliza had been secretly taking part on Junior Bake Off.
