Vicky and Jonny celebrated their five-year anniversary earlier in the year.

The couple stayed in a glamorous hotel suite at the Celtic Manor Resort in south Wales.

Speaking about the romantic break Vicky tweeted: “Never stayed in a hotel suite!!! It’s ridiculous! I’m not complaining!!!”

Earlier this year the star opened up about the possibility of having children.

She revealed that she’s tired of getting questions about having her own brood.

Speaking to Garzia Vicky said: “If this was a bloke, that would never happen.

“It’s none of your business.

“You know, whether women choose to work when they have children, whether they choose not to, whether they do a bit of both, it’s nobody’s business.”
