Sam captioned it: "My best friend, and soul mate….some would say my person. I’m afraid you’re stuck with me forever, happy birthday.
"I love you so much, and wow have I missed you over the past month! Here’s to another amazing year with you."

She explained: "You guys are funny. I've had this question so many times! Well firstly I'm filming my documentary about stalking at the moment and it's really not possible to take time off filming at short notice."
Zara also said the time difference and working hours would make it tricky.
She added: “Let's see, if he ends up going back next year for another season then I'll defintely go out there if I can.
"Also though, I think it's funny how people assume just because Sam is working away, I automatically should go.
“Love you guys but I also have a job too."
Sam landed the presenting job with the sister show, Unpacked, with Joel and Kemi Rodgers after winning I'm A Celeb last year.
