Sarah, who is famed for playing Stevie in the BBC sitcom 'Miranda', took to Instagram with photos giving a glimpse into her special day, which included her posing in a restaurant with a dessert that had been topped with a birthday candle.

Meanwhile, Vito shared a string of posts to his Instagram Story. He started by resharing a picture of the pair during the one show they got to perform together during the Strictly Come Dancing Live tour earlier this year, as Vito had to pull out through injury.
"Happy Birthday Trilly @hadderstime. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL," the dancer gushed. He went on to reshare a post he penned ahead of the Strictly final and admitted: "If you didn't read this, do it now. I mean every single word."
He rounded off by sharing another post featuring pictures of the pair smiling, talking and hugging in the rehearsal room and said: "Till the end Trilly [fingers crossed emoji and red love heart]. @hadderstime Happy Birthday."
In Vito's previously mentioned post ahead of the Strictly final in December, he gushed: "Tonight is the night. Tonight is your night Trilly! Dedicated to you and all the women like you, that make this world a better place.
"Thanks in advance to all the people who are going to support tonight. Forever grateful."
