Another follower reacted to the news: "So very happy for you all. What a beautiful ring." Someone else wrote: "Congratulations to you both. Such fantastic news. So happy for you both." One person said: "Massive congratulations."

Alfie was a cast member on Hollyoaks from 2013 until his departure in 2016. His character Jason was introduced as the twin of Robbie Roscoe (played by Charlie Wernham) and later married Holly Cunningham (Amanda Clapham).

The actor is believed to have taken up jobs as a roofer following his departure from the Channel 4 soap opera. He has however continued to act at times, including appearing in CBBC's The Dumping Ground in 2017. And his IMDb profile states that he's recently been in the film Sublime (2023).

As reported by the Sun last year, he once shared on the Just Real with Joseph James podcast: "Going to work every day, working on people's roofs and whatever, and people recognise you from Hollyoaks - that's like a hard thing to deal with at first, especially when people make comments to you and they don't realise what they are saying to you."

He's quoted as having further commented on the podcast, which is understood to have been released in 2021, that he's been just "trying to crack on" with his acting and "pursue that career". Alfie said that it's "a lot tougher than people think". He added that it involves waiting for the "right opportunities".
