The actress, who plays Tracy Metcalfe in the ITV soap, managed to keep the exciting news a secret after not suspecting a thing at the time.
Speaking to OK! Magazine, the 29-year-old sister of Girls Aloud star Kimberley revealed how her husband-to-be popped the question in August 2016 while they were on holiday at the Phuket rainforest resort of Keemala.
Amy commented: "I genuinely didn’t know what was happening until he got down on one knee. I just thought, no, this can’t be that! Then I burst into tears.
"We were both crying and then he said some lovely things, but I can’t remember what they were!"

On deciding to propose, Bradley continued: "If I’m honest, I’ve known she’s The One since I met her. I feel very lucky. She’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me.
"I started saving for a ring about two years ago and I bought it about seven months before we went to Thailand."

He added: "I’ve always wanted a big family," to which she agreed: "I have as well, but I’m aware we’re starting a bit late, so we’ll see how we go with the first one!"
