Shane Richie and Coleen Nolan can already start looking forward to a better 2021 after their eldest son Shane Jr got engaged to his stunning girlfriend.
Their son, 31, had a nifty trick up his sleeve when it came to getting down on one knee and instead of traditionally popping the question, he asked his girlfriend Maddie Wahdan via a game of charades.
Getting into the festive spirit, the pair wore matching Christmas jumpers as they began to play the seasonal family game together.
With the camera rolling, it was clear that Maddie had no idea what she was setting herself up for as she began guessing some of the clues that Shane Jr had provided.

Kicking the guessing game off Maddie had to name the sentence he was thinking of as he hinted at what the answer could be.
The Loose Women star’s son asked: “You know if you die – what do you write?”
Maddie confidently replied: “Will,” getting into the swing of the game.
Shane continued: “It’s not me, it’s…” and the Miss Manchester beauty interjected: “You.”

Finally the Eastenders actors son prompts for Maddie to finish the Bruno Mars song, chiming the lyrics he said: “It’s a beautiful night, looking for something dumb to do. Hey baby, I think I want to…”
At which point the penny still hadn’t dropped and the Miss England runner-up chirped back: “Marry you.”
Pulling a shiny ring out of his pocket that was tucked away in a velvet box, he added: “I just wondered if you wanted to marry me.”
Clearly in shock at the unexpected marriage proposal, the beauty queen placed both hands across her face before lunging into the arms of her beau to accept his gesture.
Shane Jr shared the joyful moment with his 29,000 Instagram followers, stating: “So I asked , and she said ‘yes’.
“What a brilliant way to end a s**t year for not just us, for everyone. Merry Christmas everyone and hope this makes you smile.
“I love you @maddiewahdan , I promise to be less lazy I also think I need to lose 2 stone .
“Anyway much love everyone #proposal #wedding #engaged #christmaseve #merrychristmas.”
