Danniella Westbrook has hinted that she's rekindled her romance with her ex-fiancé, just months after it had been reported that the couple had ended their relationship.
The actor, 49, has previously spoken candidly about her on-off relationship with her partner David, who is currently in prison and who is said to be awaiting release next year.
The pair – who are understood to have known each other for around five years after meeting whilst both abroad – were said to have split up over the summer.
She's now teased that they are back together though, with Danniella – best known for having played Sam Mitchell on EastEnders – hinting at such on Instagram this week.
She took to the platform earlier to share a photo of herself and another person – believed to be David. The latter had their face covered by a sticker, hiding their identity.
Danniella wrote alongside it: "I got what I want for Christmas. Just wish he could come home. [...] This time next year he will be home. Been gone way too long #loveofmylife".
The post – which was accompanied by the song All I Want for Christmas is You by Mariah Carey – was shared with her followers on the platform earlier today (December 10).
It comes after she shared a quote about love on the platform yesterday which had read: "In one lifetime you will love many times. But one love will burn your soul forever".

Danniella, who was believed to have been engaged to David previously, spoke about the relationship during an interview with the Daily Star earlier this year.
She revealed that she had met David when they both lived in Spain around five years ago. She said that they had a "tumultuous relationship" and eventually split up.
She said they remained in touch and that she reached out to him when he was later sent to prison. Danniella said that they hadn't been together when he was arrested.
The mother-of-two explained that they had subsequently rekindled their romance after she had visited him inside and she has been open about awaiting his release next year.
It was reported in August that the couple had ended their relationship though, with it claimed that the pressures of him being in prison had put a strain of things.
A spokesperson told us at the time: "We can confirm that Danniella has indeed split up with her partner. The decision hasn't come lightly and it is a decision that she feels is best for her and her career at this moment in time."
A source told the Sun previously: "The pressures of him in prison and being unable to see Danniella properly meant that their relationship was extremely unstable."
The Mirror approached Danniella's rep for comment.
