The couple - who are parents to son Roman, five, and daughter Lilah, three - looked happier than ever as they celebrated Ryan's special day.

The celebrations come after Lucy broke down in tears earlier this year as she took to TikTok to document 'one of the most emotional weeks of her life'.
She was overcome with emotion as she Ryan and their kids packed up their 'memory filled' family home ahead of their move to a new property in Manchester.
Lucy explained she'd bought the house as a single woman 11 years ago, but now the family needed more space.
As photos were taken down from the walls of her daughter's bedroom and furniture packed away, the former TOWIE star sobbed saying she never expected the process to be such an emotional one.
She said: 'One of the most emotional weeks of my life, I really didn't expect to get so emotional but I moved out of my home of 11-years this week. That's how we spent out half term, actually the kids had the best time'.

'We had mixed emotions because we outgrew this house so long ago, we've made the big move to Manchester and we're really happy. But there are so many memories I have hung onto in this house'.
'I went from being single, my first big renovation project, it was my first real home since moving out of my parents I guess. I brought my babies back from hospital here and honestly there's something about that, that I could never get rid of this house,'.
Lucy continued: 'So we just made it work over the years, but it definitely wasn't big enough, we didn't have enough bedrooms, enough storage'.
She went on to say that despite her tears the family had definitely made the right decision and it was 'time to go'.
'Seeing the rooms empty, is just the bit that made me cry,' she added.

How to get two theme park visits for the price of one this summer
The cost of summer holiday activities can quickly add up, which is why we're always on the hunt for cost-effective ways to have fun. Case in point: if you're looking for a cheap family day out this summer, we've found a deal that will save on theme park visits. Until Sunday 17 August, when you book a ticket for Alton Towers, Chessington, Legoland Windsor or Thorpe Park, you'll get a ticket for a second visit for free. This doesn't mean visiting the same theme park twice, as it can be used at any of the four parks. In order to qualify, you'll need to pre-book a 'twice the fun' ticket to get your hands on the freebie. You'll then receive a confirmation email with a barcode, which you can use to make your second booking, so keep this handy. The second ticket is valid until Tuesday, 30 September, so there is plenty of time to squeeze in a second visit. It is rare for a free ticket offer to come along, particularly during peak season. Advanced tickets to the theme parks typically start from around £34, so if you're visiting as a family, that's a chunky saving for your second visit. You can book your visit using the links below, or keep reading if you want more inspiration on which of the theme parks to visit this summer. Alton Towers If you've got little thrill-seekers to entertain this summer, Alton Towers is worth a visit. There are nine roller coasters to enjoy, including the Toxicator, which is new for 2025, while younger kids can head to the rides and attractions in CBeebies Land. Alton Towers is located outside of Stoke-on-Trent, so if you're based in the north of England, this is likely to be your nearest major theme park. Chessington World of Adventures There are plenty of adventures for kids of all ages to enjoy at Chessington, with rides inspired by the fantasy board game Jumanji, the tales of the Gruffalo and more. Your ticket also includes a visit to the park's zoo and aquarium, with the chance to see penguins, giraffes, monkeys and zebras. The park is based just outside of London, and there are regular train services running from the capital to Chessington South, which is around a 10-minute walk away. Legoland Windsor There are more than 50 rides and attractions to enjoy at Legoland Windsor. Kids can cool off on a hot day in the splash safari water play park, hop aboard the Lego submarine as part of the deep-sea adventure, get behind the wheel at the Lego driving school and lots more. The theme park is two miles outside of Windsor town centre, with shuttle services available from nearby train stations. Thorpe Park If you or your youngsters can't get enough of roller coasters, a visit to Thorpe Park is a must. The theme park is home to Hyperia, the UK's tallest and fastest rollercoaster, plus five other rides for those that want an adrenaline-filled day out. There are also plenty of rides and play areas for little ones, so the whole family can enjoy the day. The theme park is located in Chertsey, which is about 30 minutes outside of London, with shuttle buses running to the park from nearby train stations.

Beloved ITV detective show slapped with 'trigger warning' for crime scenes in 'woke' move
ITV 's Inspector Morse has been slapped with a 'trigger warning' in a move that has been branded ' woke '. The popular series now features a pre-warning for crime scenes throughout the show, which seems to have caused a stir with people online. The streaming giant also advises there are 'satanic images' in one episode of the drama. It then has a parental lock on the episode, titled Day of the Devil. Inspector Morse first aired from 1987 to 2000, with a total of eight series. Other episodes also feature a warning over crime and violence. The popular series now features a pre-warning for crime scenes throughout the show, which seems to have caused a stir with people online Speaking about the update, Senior MP Sir Alec Shelbrooke slammed: 'This is another example of soft-touch Britain seeping into everything. 'We're just going to be laughed at as a country if things like this continue, because nobody's prepared for the real world where there are no.' Daily Mail has contacted ITV for comment. In the past, it has said about general alerts: 'Programming that contains politically sensitive or distressing themes, content, or language has carried appropriate warnings since our launch.' Just a few weeks ago, Netflix bosses axed an iconic moment from Pride and Prejudice to avoid 'objectifying men'. The unforgettable scene of Mr Darcy - played by Colin Firth - emerging from a lake was all the rage in 1995. But show bosses have confirmed it will not resurface in the forthcoming version of the rom-com. According to reports, many fans will be disappointed as the famous BBC scene is said to have 'got millions of women hot under the collar'. A source told The Sun: 'It is also credited for sparking subsequent moments of male objectification on screen - likes Aidan Turner's famous topless scything scene in Poldark.' It's claimed that Netflix bosses 'don't want a repeat'. The saucy scene soon became one of the most favourite TV scenes, however it didn't actually feature in Jane Austen's original 1813 story. Arguably the most iconic wet shirt ever worn sold at auction for £25,000 - double its estimated sale price.

Millie Mackintosh strips down to tiny bikini for birthday selfie as she celebrates on family holiday
Millie Mackintosh stripped down to a tiny bikini as she posed for a cheeky birthday selfie whilst on a family holiday. The 36-year-old former Made In Chelsea star has been enjoying the sun with her loved ones over the last couple of days. Taking to her Instagram on Sunday, Millie showed off her incredible physique in the mirror as she flaunted her toned abs. Millie posed in the cream two-piece, wearing a fedora hat and carrying her wicker bag in one hand with her phone in the other. She announced it is now officially Leo season in a photo dump on her socials, sharing snippets from their trip, although she hasn't shared the location. 'Vacation mode,' she wrote alongside the photo. The doting mum-of-two, who is married to Hugo Taylor, enjoyed a quiet meal with her loved ones on the beach. She was joined by her daughters Sienna and Aurelia as they sang happy birthday and watched their mum blow out candles. Millie wrote: 'It's Leo season. And just like that another 365 days older, wiser, and ready for what the universe has in store for me. Thank you for all the birthday love.' In recent days, Millie opened up about her dog helps keep her sober after she spent years battling alcohol issues. She spoke openly about her issues with alcohol before going sober in 2022, and has since released a book about her struggles, entitled Bad Drunk. And now in an interview with the Sunday Times, she has explained how owning her pug, Luna, as given her an additional focus. She said: 'When you have a dog you're not waking up with a hangover, you're waking up and going for a walk along the river or meeting up with other dog owners. 'Having Luna helps me talk to people; I can be quite socially awkward. And I find when you've got a dog and another person's got a dog, you just have something to talk about.' Millie, who is married to former Made In Chelsea co-star Hugo Taylor and is a mother to two daughters, admitted she 'barely recognises the person she used to be' as she shared a 'drunken' throwback snap in a candid Instagram post. She went sober more than two years ago following the realisation that she had become an 'angry' drunk. As an MIC original, Millie's early scenes on the show often revolved around partying and drinking leading to flare-ups with fellow cast members which she has since claimed got in the way of her relationships. Continuing to raise awareness of sobriety and how much her life has changed for the good since going alcohol free, Millie wrote: 'Now vs. Then. 'Looking back ten years, I barely recognise the person I used to be—drinking heavily, always hungover, and completely lost. 'I was stuck in a cycle of self-medicating, not realising that the change I so badly needed was waiting for me on the other side of discomfort. 'Choosing an alcohol-free life has been the best decision I've ever made. It's the ultimate life hack—realising that I have the power to say no. 'Not because I have to, but because I get to. Sobriety isn't a sacrifice; it's a privilege, a gift I've given to myself, and one I'll never take for granted. 'The journey from bad drunk to alcohol-free has been the most transformative thing I've ever done. And hearing from so many of you who are on this path too means so much. 'Your messages about my book and your own experiences remind me why this conversation is so important. 'If you're navigating this too, know that you're not alone—we're in this together. How are you feeling about your own journey right now? Let's chat. ✨' Millie decided to go and see a sober coach, who helped her and has now steered clear of booze for more than two years.
