Vicky got engaged to Jonathan in 2017. He popped the question to her two years after they started dating, and they've been together since - with fans still waiting for the couple to book a venue.

Many people rushed to comment on Vicky's heartfelt post, which she uploaded on Valentine's Day. Fellow actress, Jo Hartley, quipped: " I thought it was Matt Damon for a minute. Have fun you two!"

Charliefarliet typed: "Can I just say you both have great smiles, happy v day." Tom_trent_1 added: "Lovely photo Vicky. As ever you look so naturally breathtaking! x." Jomeadows1 put: "Happy Valentines to you gorgeous pair."

Jonathan also showed his love back with a comical throwback polaroid of the pair in fancy dress. "Happy Valentine's Day. Awf wah xxx", he wrote. Vicky's sweet Valentine's post came after she shared some very sad news about her pet dog earlier this month. The 39-year-old said goodbye to her “loyal” dog Lollipop in a touching post on Instagram.

The Nottingham actor posted a string of adorable pictures of the pup, who has now been “reunited with her sister”. The star wrote: “Our Lol, our first family dog. Loyal to the core. It'll be so strange without you.” Vicky shared four pictures of Lollipop, one of which showed her sweetly putting her paw on a toy bone.

The actor added: “Reunited with her sister Molly now. Rest well Lollipop. Love always.” Another picture showed Lollipop and Molly, who are both Bichon Frisés, sitting together on a sofa.

Vicky is active on Instagram, and recently posted a clip of the choir she supports for people with dementia. The touching clip showed the choir singing Bob Marley's 'Everything's Gonna Be Alright' with Vicky excitedly joining in.

The choir is based in Nottingham and took part in a two-part documentary with Vicky in 2018. The actor is aware of the impact of dementia, having cared for her grandmother who had the condition and died in 2015.
