The sweet video - which can be viewed below - saw Robin standing behind Amber as she was presented with a birthday cake, complete with candles. 

The TV host reminded her "sweet Amber" that it was her last birthday as a single woman, and asked her to make a wish on her special day. 

Robin gently kissed her shoulder as she waited patiently before teasing that she was taking so long she would be 50 before she blew the candles out.
