Amy Dowden has been flooded with messages from fans as she gave a glimpse of her sun-soaked break alongside her rarely-seen husband, Ben Jones.
The Strictly Come Dancing star and her dancer beau ditched the UK for Dubai after what has been a busy few months for Amy, from touring the country in her joint-headline tour, to collecting her MBE from King Charles III.
Taking to Instagram, Amy shared a string of snaps from the much-needed trip with her husband of three years as she said she was "forever grateful" for their time away.
In the photos, Amy could be seen soaking up the sun in different swimwear looks, as well as enjoying romantic dinners with Ben in the evening and hitting the beach during the day.
Captioning the post, the Welsh star shared: "A few photos of what’s been such a beautifu. Full of quality time together. Sun, sea, swimming, great food, spa treats, kayaking with tortoises most mornings, peacocks and just total relaxation. Exactly what we both needed. Memories made and forever grateful".
Friend and Strictly co-star Carlos Gu was quick to respond, as he commented on the post: "I'm chasing you for the tan now! Ben looks cute!!" while Dianne Buswell simply posted: "Gorjjjj."
Amy's fans and followers were also keen to share their joy at seeing her happy and enjoying time with her love. @amelia_shimells said: "You look so beautiful and so very happy! Looks like the most wonderful holiday. Already can’t wait for the outfit reel."

Amy will soon be heading back into the ballroom after her Strictly return was confirmed earlier this year. The 34-year-old's run in the 2024 edition of the BBC One dance contest was sadly cut short following a foot injury.
But after the BBC confirmed her in the professional line of for Strictly 2025, she shared on social media: "So grateful to be back on the best show on TV for my 9th year with my strictly family. @bbcstrictly.
"This show means everything to me, through the highs and my all time lows, it truly got me through my toughest of times. The show is pure magic and good for the soul. I’m feeling stronger than ever.
"The countdown begins to be back in the rehearsal room with my strictly family. Who else is counting down the days? Keep dancing! Welsh love".
