Laila Rouass and Ronnie O'Sullivan don't plan to marry in the near future
The actress admitted that she "didn't know" why they got engaged as a big white wedding was certainly not on the cards in the "near future".
Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, the 45-year-old opened up about her lack of marriage plans with the snooker player, 40, a Footballers' Wives reboot as well as her new Disney series, The Lodge.
When asked when she was going to walk down the aisle, Laila laughed: "No, not yet. Everyone goes, ‘Why did you get engaged then?’ I just say, ‘I don’t know…'"
The brunette beauty continued: "It’s definitely not something that will happen in the near future, no."

Laila, who has a nine-year-old daughter, Inez, with ex Nasir Khan, went on to admit that she would no longer be interested in reprising her role as Bollywood star Amber Gates if Footballers' Wives ever returned.
She commented: "People always ask me, ‘When is it coming back?’ But, that culture has come and gone, at the time WAGS were the big thing. People don’t really look at them in the same way now."
"I had a great time on Footballers’ Wives – it was filmed in the summer, in fabulous locations and we wore fabulous shoes. I look back at it with a big smile on my face," she added.
Meanwhile, Laila is now focusing on her latest project for Disney, in which she plays pushy parent Olivia in live-action musical The Lodge.

On taking on the role, she said: "I’m suddenly the coolest mum in the whole school! My character is a crazy, insane woman, and I do love playing those types of characters.
"It is so nice to be with such a young and enthusiastic cast – there’s something quite charming about that. I thought, I just hope I’m not singing and dancing! Luckily for everybody, I wasn’t put through that."
Disney: The Lodge airs on the Disney Channel, Fridays at 5.30pm from tomorrow.
