Nikki Sanderson and partner Anthony Quinlan have headed off on a romantic holiday to mark the Hollyoaks actress’s milestone 40th birthday, which she celebrated back in March.
Making the most of the bank holiday, the pair, who enjoyed a couple's holiday to Mallorca last year, headed to an undisclosed location where they have been celebrating Nikki’s 40th in style.
In a post uploaded to her Instagram, the soap star, who has previously appeared in Coronation Street, explained that the trip was “just what” she and Anthony needed and that it was a “birthday treat” for them both to enjoy together.
In the snap, Nikki looked sensational as she posed for a mirror selfie. With the sunny weather, the actress sported a bright pink bikini which featured some yellow detailing and completed the look with a pair of round sunglasses.
“Happy Monday,” she wrote. “A little break is just what we needed, lovely birthday treat for us both. Here’s to turning 40 well for me anyway… one more year for you @anthonyquinny #holiday #happyholiday #bankholiday #vacation #sun #happy #love #sunshine #chill #bikini #pinkbikini #mirrorselfie #40”.
In response, 39 year old Anthony gushed over his girlfriend as he wrote “Pow!” alongside a string of emojis. Nikki’s Hollyoaks co-star Roxanne McKee also expressed her admiration as wrote “I mean…” followed by different emojis.
Elsewhere, Nikki uploaded a series of different snaps on her Instagram Story including one of her and her Emmerdale star beau relaxing in the sun and another of her in a stunning pink dress for “date night”.
The pair’s romantic trip comes two years after reports fist emerged that they were dating after they grew closer thanks to their shared love for fitness.
“Nikki and Anthony go to the same gym and are really into fitness, so they bonded over that,” a source told The Sun On Sunday. “It’s been a while now and things are going well. Nikki has been having a bit of a tough time lately, and Anthony has been a great support for her.”
Since then, the couple’s relationship has gone from strength to strength and back in March Anthony paid tribute to his “special” partner as he wished her a happy birthday.
Alongside a snap of himself and Nikki, he wrote: “This lady of mine is one of the world’s gems! Wishing you a huge Happy Birthday my love! I hope this year ahead is as special as you are! Love you lots”.
