Claire Richards has marked her husband's birthday this week by sharing an incredible throwback to when they were younger.
The Steps singer, 44, celebrated with a post in which she expressed her love for her husband Reece Hill - whom she married in 2008.
The post, shared with her 156,000 followers on Instagram, included a photo of the couple looking much younger, with Claire seen with her arms wrapped around Reece.
She said alongside it: "24 years means 24 birthdays. It also means I've loved you for over half my whole life. So looking forward to the adventures the other half will bring."

Claire - who has two children with her husband - added: "I love you so much @reecehill1. Happy birthday darling."
The post has received more than 3,000 likes on the social media platform since it was uploaded and prompted fans to share well-wishes in the comments section.
Among those who commented was her Faye Tozer, 46, who wrote: "This photo [heart emojis]! Happy birthday Reece."
And Kerry-Lucy Taylor, 36, - who is married to Steps member Lee Latchford-Evans, 47 - said in the comments: "Look at those baby faces. Happy birthday Reece."
Reece later thanked those who had sent birthday wishes in a post on his own account on Instagram, sharing a photo of himself with a drink in his hand.
He wrote: "Thanks for all the wonderful birthday messages today. Currently celebrating by drinking a few of these inventive concoctions, in a restaurant, listening to the best of Dolly Parton and where all the waiters are dressed as cowboys - livin' the dream. Hangover looming."
The couple celebrated their 13th wedding anniversary in November last year, while Steps were on their UK tour.
In a post shared on social media at the time, Claire said: "Happy anniversary to my best friend for many more years than the 13 we've actually been married."
She continued: "Today is gonna feel strange not being together and I miss you and the kids so much. One week down, only four to go."
"I am working very hard though so I hope it'll all be worth it. You're a lucky man," she added in the post last year.
