GLADIATORS star Jodie Ounsley has shared rare loved-up snaps with her rugby player girlfriend Ellen Ramsbottom.
The pair went public with their romance in July last year and now Jodie has called her other half “my calm in all the chaos” in a gushing birthday tribute.
The BBC One star, known as Fury on the show, took to her Instagram feed to share a series of snaps of the two of them together as well as solo pictures of Ellen.
In one photo, the ladies are glammed up in stunning dresses as they hold hands while walking down a hotel hallway.
In another picture, the two are seen enjoying a beach day as Ellen plants a kiss on Jodie’s face.
She captioned the post: “The person who holds everything together behind the scenes, my calm in all the chaos and the one who makes me cackle like no one else.
“Happy Birthday, ya special human,” Jodie concluded.
Their fans flocked to the comments section to send the couple some love as one said: “Eugh the beautiful eyes in this relationship is unreal!”
Another person gushed: “You two seem like a ‘forever’ kinda couple. I love it xxxx.”
While a third added: “Happy birthday to your special person.”
Jodie and Ellen first met when they were 16, playing together at Loughborough Rugby.
They went public with their romance last Summer in a YouTube vlog and their relationship appears to be going from strength to strength.
The post comes after Jodie’s dad Phil Ounsley, 56, tragically died after collapsing on one of Yorkshire’s three peaks in December.
She shared the heartbreaking news on Instagram as she penned: “Heartbroken. Yesterday, my dad suddenly passed away while doing one of his favourite things—walking Pen-y-Ghent.
“He had hiked that peak countless times throughout his life, but none of us knew he wouldn’t walk back down that day.
“I don’t have the words. All I can say is that he was, and always will be, my absolute hero.
“He encouraged me to dream big and loved me wholeheartedly, and for that I will be forever grateful. Until we meet again, Dad.”
