Anthea Turner's marriage to Grant Bovey might have run its course many years ago, but she has managed to maintain a close bond with his three children.
Anthea and her ex-husband were officially divorced in October 2015 with the star going on to find love with Mark Armstrong. But she took the time to send a special birthday message to Claudia Bovey in celebration of her 25th birthday this week - and it's clear from the photos that the pair still get on famously.

In an exclusive interview with HELLO! in June 2017, Anthea spoke about the start of their romance. "Looking back, I regret the pain we caused," she confessed. "It was a terrible time of hurt all round and, knowing what I know now, I am so sorry about it all.
"I can understand why some people think I got my comeuppance when my relationship then went on to deteriorate in the way it did. But I loved Grant, and I can't regret the 15 years we had together. There were some very happy times."
