The happy day comes at a difficult time for Lancaster after the recent death of her beloved dog, Bubbles.

"Bubbles our curly one has been diagnosed with cancer and although his recent surgery was successful, sadly it’s spread."
Delving into the support Bubbles is receiving, Lancaster went on: "Our Lilly from @battersea keeps him company and never leaves his side and the two of them never leave my side.
"Companions for live, for as long as that life will be and I feel blessed for every moment I spend with them."

"Wow! My 200th Las Vegas residency show at @colosseumatcp — absolutely incredible! What a ride it’s been," he wrote in an Instagram post.
