McDermott gets the right Spelling

ACTRESS Tori Spelling has announced her engagement to Irish-American TV star Dean McDermott.

Spelling and McDermott announced their engagement to People magazine after the couple got engaged in Toronto.

Spelling — who is the daughter of television producer Aaron Spelling — split with her former husband Charlie Shanian in September.

The 32-year-old is best known for playing Donna in the 1990s series Beverly Hills 90210.

But she’ll be hoping her latest marriage lasts a bit longer than the previous one.
