Michelle Heaton and husband Hugh Hanley have celebrated their wedding anniversary with a blissful spa break – complete with champagne and massages.

The loved up duo, who wed in the Bahamas in 2010, spent a child-free night at the plush Champneys in Tring to ring in their seventh anniversary.

Michelle, 37, posted a picture to Instagram on Friday night showing the couple clinking glasses – champagne for her and water for him.

She said: “Happy belated anniversary.. couldn’t celebrate before as I was away and he was away and I was away again .. the joys of working for a living .. eventually .. we are here.

“Love you baby.”

Michelle looked lovely in a high waisted maroon pencil skirt teamed with a white floral blouse featuring a cut out detail across the chest.

She kicked off their anniversary trip solo because Hugh had business commitments, joking she was pretty sure she could keep herself occupied at the spa.

Posing in a pink bikini, she said: “While I wait patiently for the husband to finish work .. I’m off to the spa .. might be waiting a while .. I’m sure I can keep myself occupied.”

When Hugh did turn up, Michelle shared a photo of them dressed in matching white robes as they enjoyed treatments.

Michelle told fans: “‪Yey the husband is here … eventually.”

Hugh posted his own photo of the couple, adding: “Date night, eventually celebrating our 7 year anniversary. Great wife. No kids. Best friend.”

Liberty X singer Michelle and Irish businessman Hugh wed in the Bahamas in 2010 following a two-year relationship.

At the time she told OK! magazine: “Hugh and I had the wedding of our dreams and it was just perfect.

“As soon as I started walking towards Hugh I could see he had tears in his eyes and that totally started me off.”

They have two children: Faith, five, and three-year-old Aaron, who is nicknamed AJ.

Michelle, who was previously wed to pop star Andy Scott-Lee, has frequently credited Hugh for his love and support during her past health struggles.

She had a preventative double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery in 2012 and a hysterectomy two years later after she was found to be carrying a gene that can lead to a higher chance of developing cancer.

“He’s been fantastic support for me,” she said on ITV’s Lorraine in 2014,

“I think a lot of men in his situation may have possibly walked away. It’s been a tough two years and he’s had to see me go in and out of hospital.

“It’s been traumatic and there are guys out there who could have selfishly walked away but he’s just been amazing.

“I couldn’t have done it without him.”
