Cait Fitton, who plays Corrie's Lauren Bolton, had teased her mystery man weeks ago, after telling fans she'd received a Jellycat cuddly toy gift from "my boyfriend."
Now the 23-year-old screen star, who had admitted she wanted to be in Corrie since the age of five, has returned the favour, arranging for a series of 23-shaped silver balloons to fill his room as well as a happy birthday banner.
She added the sweet caption: "A day celebrating you."
Deciding not to name her partner, she then posted a series of snaps showing happy moments together, including them glammed up as well as holding hands.
Cait then wrote: "Happy birthday to my man.
"Thank you for blessing my life."
The soap star, who joined the show back in 2022, has decided against revealing her partner's identity.
OFF SCREEN
Cait's life away from the Weatherfield cobbles recently came to light.
She is originally from Lancashire and ventured into performing arts at the age of three.
While it's clear Cait has a talent when it comes to acting, having also starred in Doctors, she's also a great singer.
My teacher asked me what I wanted from life when I was five-years-old – I said 'I want to be in Coronation Street'
She previously wowed her followers online after posting a clip of her singing a rendition of Ben E. King's Stand By Me.
Cait always had her sights set on Coronation Street, previously telling us she told her entire class in school how she wanted a role on the ITV soap.
She spoke exclusively to The Sun and said: "The teacher asked us, 'What do you want to be when you're older?' Children were saying 'a fireman' or 'a nurse', and I said, 'I want to be in Coronation Street'.
"I remember all the teachers were amused, they couldn't believe it. I watched it religiously."

When she announced her role on Corrie, Cait paid tribute to the family members she's sadly lost over the years.
She wrote: "My younger self is screaming right now!!! I want to say a big thank you to all the cast and crew at @coronationstreet for inviting me in with open arms and making me feel so welcome!
"Thank you to my amazing agent Brooke Kinsella at @intertalentactors for constantly supporting me and always pushing me to achieve."
Remembering family members who have passed on, she continued: "Also a massive thank you to my family and friends who have supported me throughout this process and been with me along the journey so far! I dedicate this role of achievement to my family who were huge fans of the show but unfortunately are no longer with me, but I know if they were, they'd be bursting at the seams!"
CORRIE FUTURE
Meanwhile, back on the ITV soap, Cait recently exclusively told The Sun how the soap will feature a game-changing episode based on its younger cast.
Fans have seen Lauren caught up in an epic disappearance plot and her connection with the wicked Joel Deering.
She spoke to The Sun at the British Soap Awards where they revealed the "different" twist that would be rocking the soap.
Cait told us: "There is gonna be something quite different in the near-near future where we see all the younger cast come together.
"We really enjoyed that because nine times out of ten you don't really get to see people unless you are working with them.
"Working with people our own age has been so much fun.
"It was two weeks of us non-stop altogether."
She then joked: "I felt sorry for the crew and directors by the end of it but it was so much fun."

TOWIE star unrecognisable 15 years on from reality show as she admits surgery regret

TOWIE star unrecognisable 15 years on from reality show as she admits surgery regret She was one of the original cast members on The Only Way Is Essex when it first hit screens in 2010 Lauren Goodger fears she's 'ruined her looks' and admits - 'I hate my fake boobs and bum now' (Image: Mike Marsland/WireImage/Getty ) Fifteen years after her debut on The Only Way Is Essex, Lauren Goodger is almost unrecognisable and openly acknowledges the transformation. Back in 2010, when TOWIE first hit our screens, Lauren was among the fresh faces catapulted into fame, showcasing their glitzy Brentwood lifestyles to viewers across the country. Now at 38, Lauren has been forthright about her numerous cosmetic surgeries and the subsequent regrets. ‌ The reality TV personality, who made a comeback to TOWIE last year, expressed her discontent with her altered appearance: "I've ruined my looks with surgery. I hate my fake boobs and bum now. I feel like my body looks abnormal. I don't need these massive boobs and massive bum." ‌ She further lamented: "When I look at myself naked in the mirror, all I see are lumps and bumps everywhere." She shot to fame on TOWIE alongside Mark Wright (Image: UK Press via Getty Images ) Lauren rose to prominence as one of the original members of TOWIE, gaining attention for her relationship with fellow cast member Mark Wright, who has since married Michelle Keegan and they have had their first child, reports the Mirror. Article continues below Lauren left the show in 2012 post her split, briefly returned in 2016, and then re-joined the cast last year, feeling it was the right time to re-enter the limelight. Lauren has been open about the various cosmetic procedures she has undergone, starting with a nose job in 2011 after an accident and later, a breast enhancement in 2013. Her quest for changes didn't end there; in 2017, she flew to Turkey for a Brazilian butt lift, a decision she recently expressed regret over and is now exploring ways to reverse. She shared a candid Instagram post about wanting her breast implants removed (Image: Instagram/Lauren Goodger ) ‌ In a candid disclosure, Lauren admitted: "I'm not sure how I'm going to do that yet. I'm not sure if there is a procedure that can reverse the BBL. I'm looking into potentially getting the fat sucked out, but I don't know if that's an option. I'm going to speak to lots of different surgeons and figure out my options." Labelling the BBL as "the worst experience" she's had, Lauren is intent on regaining her natural shape but remains uncertain on the best method forward. Furthermore, she's embraced lip fillers, unveiling earlier in 2023 her adoption of the 'butterfly effect' technique, a favourite of Katie Price, to her social media audience, commenting: "I've just had the butterfly effect lip fillers by Lift Aesthetics, I've got the tape on at the minute so I'm talking really weird. ‌ She is hoping to reverse her BBL procedure too "I'm very swollen but literally a new technique, it's so amazing and I can't wait to see the results." She recently disclosed that her struggles with anxiety have held her back from pursuing more permanent changes. In an emotional revelation on Instagram, she expressed: "I have suffered tremendous anxiety due to things I've been through which led me to being caffeine and alcohol free but also stopped me being able go abroad on holiday or have surgery or so minor treatments I've been so bad with anxiety. Article continues below "But today I've spoke to the amazing @simonsmithsurgeon as I want to take the step to get my implants removed in my boobs... I do not want them I just need to get this done and I'm terrified but I know it's also much healthier for me and I don't need them anymore. I can't wait for my natural boobs back xxxx."

Love Island star wants to 'start again' as she ditches the UK and moves abroad

Love Islander Abigail Rawlings left the villa in 2021, after being coupled up with Dale Mehmet, but she's flying solo as she leaves the UK to start her 'new life' in Los Angeles Love Island star Abigail Rawling s has packed up and ditched the UK for a "new start" in Los Angeles, after leaving the villa in 2021. The tattoo artist was paired up with Toby Aromolaran in the seventh series of ITV's reality dating show, when she entered on day 24. But he dumped her when he met Mary Bedford in Casa Amor, with Abi recoupling with Dale Mehmet. They were dumped from the villa on day 42, with Abi revealing two weeks after the series ended that she'd got back with her ex, David Aboro Fitzpatrick, and they were living together. ‌ However, Abi appears to be single again, having moved stateside to begin her adventure in the US. She's shared her journey on Instagram, posting a series of snaps showing off her new life in LA. ‌ Abi, 31, wrote: "So today is officially my third week living in LA.. i'll be dead honest and admit it's been way more challenging than I ever expected it to be. I haven't been posting much on the grid cause honestly it's been mainly pretty boring life stuff, tryna get set up in a new country ain't no joke. "I mean literally no one said it was gonna be easy.. but FECK America why you gotta make everything so dam tricky?? ahahah." She continued: "I'd say I've spent majority of my time here so far feeling overwhelmed and stressed lol. "But as of yesterday, I finally got my SSN number through (something I discovered you can't do anything without it here) so now I can finally make a start on finding my own little apartment and create my own little safe space to start building my foundations for my new lil dream LA life. But regardless of how hard it's been to adjust so far, I'm still unbelievably grateful for this opportunity to start again and even more grateful for the beautiful souls I'm so lucky to have in my life that love and support me endlessly." The star revealed in April she had lined up a job at Sashatattooing Gallery in the city, a female owned studio. Abi will also be doing guest slots at Be More You, another tattoo parlour in LA. ‌ Abi thanked the owners of her new studios, saying she would "forever be so unbelievably grateful for you guys helping make this wild opportunity of starting my new lil dream life in LA possible." She also explained how she made her dream of living in Los Angeles come true, saying she "girl bossed so hard I somehow manifested my dream life into my reality." Abi added: "For 8 months solid, I visualised myself sitting in this exact spot whilst doing my admin work .. and now here I am sitting in that spot today. Whatever goal you're tryna achieve right now, just a lil reminder that you've absolutely got this." ‌ She also posted a video telling her followers how the move caused "new heights to my stress levels". One of her hashtags on the post said she had an O-1B visa. This kind of visa is for "individuals who have extraordinary ability in the arts or have demonstrated extraordinary achievement in the motion picture or television industry". They can work in the US on the visa, which is a "nonimmigrant" category, with dual intent - this means applicants can pursue a green card at the same time granting them permanent residency.
