Anna and her husband Jimmy have been together for over seven years and had initially planned to wed earlier this year. However, setbacks related to the pandemic meant that the couple was forced to postpone plans until the restrictions lifted.
Addressing her fans in March, the television star admitted that she was looking at the positive side when her wedding date came around.
"Today was supposed to be the day we got married down the registry office with our parents (because… f**king hell, joy please!) but COVID had other plans. Ah well," she wrote at the time.
"I was gunna wear this dress so figured I'd wear it anyway and we'd drink champagne all day. Swings and roundabouts."
In the snap, Anna and Jimmy looked cheerful as they modelled what would have been their wedding outfits.
Anna is best known for starring in Hollyoaks between 2011 and 2014. She also returned to the Channel 4 soap for several brief stints in 2017 and 2018. Aside from her role on the soap, Anna has also starred in the Harry Potter movies where she portrayed Romilda Vane.
