Amanda Abbington's fiance Jonathan Goodwin has issued a sweet post on social media to mark a milestone celebration with the actress.
Abbington, 52, has been in the public eye a lot lately as the Strictly Come Dancing scandal continues to dominate headlines.
The former Sherlock star was partnered on last year's show with Giovanni Pernice, 33, but made an early exit before going on to claim the Italian dancer had been "abusive" - claims he's vehemently denied.
The BBC probe is still ongoing and has resulted in both Pernice and Graziano Di Prima, 30, leaving the show.
Abbington has found herself at the centre of the chaos, stating recently she had to leave social media earlier this year due to the vile trolling she received online.
The actress' fiance Goodwin, 44, has stood by her side since the saga began and despite his wife-to-be not being on social media anymore, he still dedicated a sweet post to her on Wednesday.

Goodwin recently broke his own silence over the controversy as he hit back at backlash he's received in response to Abbington's recent television interview.
It came after the actress sat down with Channel 4 presenter Krishnan Guru-Murthy to discuss the "relentless" trolling she has received since issuing her complaint against Pernice as well as some of the details surrounding the claims.
Days later, her former escapologist and daredevil partner took to his Instagram Story to demonstrate an example of the backlash he and Abbington have been receiving.

The message read: "I hope you're Mrs. watched her back, we are coming after you and Amanda." (sic)
Adding the screenshot to his story, he captioned the post: "People are nice aren't they... still it keeps coming."
In his first interview since his fiance's claims came to light, he told the MailOnline last week: "If you watch the dances she did, tell me that's a person that's not putting in 100 percent effort. So it's not about that.
"What happened is she left a game show because she didn't like the way she was being treated and that's it. That's what she did. How she was treated – and she's said this herself – was not great in ways that I can't go into.

"But it's not about strict or militant training. It's other stuff and I can't talk about it, but it will all come up. The truth will come out."
During her interview with Guru-Murthy, Abbingotn also alleged that there are "50 hours" worth of footage between the pair of them which show how Pernice behaved during their training sessions.
She noted that she would be happy for anyone to watch the clips, but claimed it was Pernice and his lawyers who were blocking any of them being released to the public.
Pernice's refuted all of Abbington's claims in the Channel 4 interview and is waiting for the results of the investigation before speaking publicly.
