SILENT Witness star Emilia Fox has revealed her TV executive boyfriend asks her to marry him EVERY day — but she is yet to accept.
The 50-year-old actress has been with Jonathan Stadlen since 2021 and said he is so keen to wed he sometimes pops the question as soon as they wake up in the morning.

It comes after rumours swirled last year they had already tied the knot.
Emilia, daughter of The Day of the Jackal film star Edward Fox, said: “Jonathan asks me to marry him every single day, but we’re not officially married.
“Just saying we love each other each day has been enough for us in this moment.
“It has felt very romantic because there’s a choice every day to go, ‘Yes, I really want to marry you today’.”
She continued: “He asks me in all different places and at different times. Sometimes when we wake up, sometimes it’s at lunchtime, sometimes on bended knee.”
And Emilia, who has 14-year-old daughter Rose with former partner Jeremy Gilley, told Woman & Home magazine she has a new lease of life after turning 50. She celebrated the landmark birthday back in July.
The star said: “I’ve had a great time in the first half, but Rose is now a teenager and I’ve packed a lot into trying to get that balance right with work and Rose.
“I think in my 50s there could be some fun! My actual birthday was quiet because I’d been filming until 4am.
“The day after, we went for the most delicious family lunch at The River Cafe. Starting my 50s with the people that I love — how lucky am I?”
Emilia played Georgiana Darcy in the BBC’s Pride and Prejudice in 1995. Her big film debut was in 2002 in Roman Polanski’s The Pianist.
She then became a household name after joining BBC crime drama Silent Witness in 2004.
The star is the longest serving cast member, playing forensic pathologist Dr Nikki Alexander.
