Engaged hands of Bride-to-be Zoe Salmon during a romantic Barbados holiday

It's one of her favorite places in the world, even more so after her fiance proposed on the island last November. So no wonder TV presenter Zoe Salmon looked thrilled to be back in Barbados on a romantic holiday with her husband-to-be William Corrie.

The former Blue Peter host, 36, looked relaxed in a white cut-out dress as she and William, 30, chatted to two hotel staff. In an interview with the Belfast Telegraph soon after the engagement, Zoe said she was determined to marry this year at home in Ulster.

 She said: 'There are so many beautiful places I have been fortunate to travel to, but I am such a home bird, it has to be at home. 'I love it. One of the things I love most about William is that he is Northern Irish. He is a local boy, so it is important for us to get married at home.'

Zoe's romance with William comes after she dated another fellow Northern Irish man - former Hollyoaks actor Gerard McCarthy. The pair split in 2009 after 18 months together, with Gerard declaring 'there's plenty more Salmon in the sea' following the end of their romance.

The blonde started her career when she won Miss Northern Ireland in 1999, before turning her attention to presenting. She co-hosted Blue Peter to 2004 until 2008 and also appeared as a contestant on Dancing On Ice in 2009. Earlier this year, she played the title role in the panto production of Cinderella at the Theatre Royal Windsor.
