She wrote on Instagram: 'When a Miss becomes a Mrs ♥️. I love you. The best weekend of our lives. The biggest thank you to all our family and friends and of course to you, @pronovias, @euridge_ and @debeersofficial.'

Eleanor went public on social media with Will in February 2021.

She first sparked engagement rumours in November 2021 when she stepped out at the supermarket with a diamond ring on her finger in London.

Sources at the time of the engagement claimed the Poldark star is 'absolutely smitten' with her beau after taking her time before entering a new relationship following her split from co-star Harry Richardson in 2018.

Eleanor first hinted she had a new man in her life when she shared a loved-up social media snap with Will in February 2021.

A source told The Sun: 'The pair have been seeing each other for quite a few months and are absolutely ­smitten.

'She gets on really well with his family and they decided to be together with them during quarantine.

'It's been a while since her last boyfriend. She took her time, didn't rush into anything and she really thinks things can go far with Will who is a proper man's man.' 

The star also revealed she'd been spending lots of time with Will's family as they isolated together during the lockdown.

She told the Overrated podcast: 'We're just having a real laugh. Just sitting out in the garden doing a lot of drinking.'

She dated Aidan's stunt double Ben Atkinson, 25, until June 2017, before embarking on a romance with Australian actor Harry ­Richardson, 27, who played Drake Carne in the series.

Will plays for Clifton Rugbybut also played for Coventry Rugby, Leicester Tigers, Doncaster Knights and Nottingham Rugby Club. 

Speaking about Poldark in a new interview with The Teleraph, Eleanor admitted: 'My life changed so much both professionally and personally.'

'Suddenly, when you become part of something that's very successful, people treat you differently: they start coming to you for answers. Actors on set would start asking me things as if I were the person who would know, when really I was just 22, and trying to find my feet.'

She is currently starring in Matthew López's Reverberation at Bristol Old Vic, which will play for one month from October 2 to November 2

Eleanor starred in Poldark for five series but has gone on to appear in the likes of Netflix's One Day, The War of the Worlds, 2018 biopic Colette and steamy Channel 4 drama The Couple Next Door.

She is currently starring in Matthew López's Reverberation at Bristol Old Vic, which will play for one month from October 2 to November 2.

Her next screen role is the hugely anticipated PBS remake of The Forsyte Saga, written by Poldark screenwriter Debbie Horsfield. 

'You're always trying to find the next role that will break the mould in which people see you,' she told The Telegraph this week. 'And yes, it can be hard, when you've done something like Poldark for a very long time, to prove that you can do something different.'
