MONAGHAN actress Charlene McKenna has announced her engagement to American actor Adam Rothenberg.

Now based in New York, she revealed the news on Instagram, posting a photo of herself wearing a diamond ring along with her fiancé.

The 35-year-old also wrote, 'Sure G'wan...' along with a ring emoji.

Mr Rothenberg (43) is best known for his role as Captain Homer Jackson in the BBC One drama Ripper Street, in which Ms McKenna starred as Rose Erskine.

"We fell in love working together. Adam is just one of the smartest and most talented people I have ever met, and he's an amazing anchor for this acting world we're in," she told the Irish Independent.

"He's older than me so that's very grounding because he has no interest in the hype, as he has kind of been there and done that. I often think he would make a wonderful psychologist, as we have really good indepth chats and he's a very good person."
