EastEnders star Louisa Lytton has arrived in Italy with her fiancé for their wedding – after being delayed three times!

The actress, who played Ruby Allen in the BBC One soap, documented her time in Italy with her partner Ben and daughter Aura ahead of the big day.

It was not planned to fly to Italy in June 2022, as Ben and Louisa had to postpone things three times.

Last year, Louisa and Ben revealed during an appearance on Loose Women that they had chosen to postpone the wedding because of: the pandemic and the fact that Louisa was also pregnant.

“Yes, we canceled the wedding,” she said with a laugh.

“Actually, I said to Ben, let’s try it, it doesn’t look like the wedding is going on, and then we got pregnant and now our wedding could officially go ahead.

“But it’s too late now, so… it’s all gone out the window. But it is good!’

A few weeks ago, the actress revealed that Coronavirus had again affected plans when the family fell ill, so they were unable to exchange their vows before the ceremony.

On her Instagram she wrote: ‘We have had a covid household. Finally on the mend. Not what the doctor ordered. We were supposed to exchange our vows for our Italian wedding today! Instead we cleaned the carpets that were sick.

‘We’ll get there @bennyy__ and my will is worth it!’

We keep our fingers crossed for a smooth sailing time in Italy!

In EastEnders, Louisa’s character, Ruby, left Walford in September after Jean (Gillian Wright) told police she was her drug contact.

Ruby’s arrest came after months of lying to Martin (James Bye) and concealing the fact that she had wrongly arrested Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner).
