All about Anna's famous partner
Anna is in a relationship with London-born actor, Geoffrey Streatfeild.
While the couple have been photographed together on the red carpet in previous years, they like to keep their romance out of the spotlight, so little is known about their relationship.
Geoffrey, who was previously married to actress Nikki Amuka-Bird, is perhaps best known for portraying Calum Reed in the BBC spy drama, Spooks, as well as for playing Fergus Williams in The Thick of It.
More recently, he portrayed Tom Southern in the Netflix political drama, Anatomy of a Scandal, and Edward IV in The Hollow Crown.

Who does Anna Madeley play in All Creatures Great and Small?
Anna portrays Skeldale's housekeeper Mrs Hall, who is a dear friend and confidante of the practice's owner, Siegfried Farnon, and shares close bonds with James Herriot and Tristan Farnon.
Speaking to HELLO! and other press about where we find her character in season five, Anna said Mrs Hall is "knee-deep in nappies" but is looking for more ways to help with the war effort.
"I think now Mrs. Hall is starting to think what's her contribution to the war? We know from her backstory that she was very active in the First World War with the Wrens," explained the actress. "So we meet a wonderful character called Bosworth, played by brilliant Jeremy Swift, who is looking for wardens to do all the closing curtains, turn the light off, all that local work," she continued.
"So she decides she wants to give that a go and she, in her mind, is the perfect person to do it, because she knows the local community really well."
