A CORONATION Street favourite has gone Instagram official with her new boyfriend and praised her man for “blessing my life.”

The ITV actress posted a gushing tribute to her other-half in a series of social media slides celebrating his 23th birthday.

Cait Fitton, who plays Corrie’s Lauren Bolton, had teased her mystery man weeks ago, after telling fans she’d received a Jellycat cuddly toy gift from “my boyfriend.”

Now the 23-year-old screen star, who had admitted she wanted to be in Corrie since the age of five, has returned the favour, arranging for a series of 23-shaped silver balloons to fill his room as well as a happy birthday banner.

She added the sweet caption: “A day celebrating you.”

Deciding not to name her partner, she then posted a series of snaps showing happy moments together, including them glammed up as well as holding hands.

Cait then wrote: “Happy birthday to my man.

“Thank you for blessing my life.”

The soap star, who joined the show back in 2022, has decided against revealing her partner’s identity.

OFF SCREEN

Cait’s life away from the Weatherfield cobbles recently came to light.

She is originally from Lancashire and ventured into performing arts at the age of three.

While it’s clear Cait has a talent when it comes to acting, having also starred in Doctors, she’s also a great singer.

She previously wowed her followers online after posting a clip of her singing a rendition of Ben E. King’s Stand By Me.

Cait always had her sights set on Coronation Street, previously telling us she told her entire class in school how she wanted a role on the ITV soap.

She spoke exclusively to The Sun and said: “The teacher asked us, ‘What do you want to be when you’re older?’ Children were saying ‘a fireman’ or ‘a nurse’, and I said, ‘I want to be in Coronation Street’.

“I remember all the teachers were amused, they couldn’t believe it. I watched it religiously.”

When she announced her role on Corrie, Cait paid tribute to the family members she’s sadly lost over the years.

She wrote: “My younger self is screaming right now!!! I want to say a big thank you to all the cast and crew at @coronationstreet for inviting me in with open arms and making me feel so welcome!

“Thank you to my amazing agent Brooke Kinsella at @intertalentactors for constantly supporting me and always pushing me to achieve.”

Remembering family members who have passed on, she continued: “Also a massive thank you to my family and friends who have supported me throughout this process and been with me along the journey so far! I dedicate this role of achievement to my family who were huge fans of the show but unfortunately are no longer with me, but I know if they were, they’d be bursting at the seams!”

CORRIE FUTURE

Meanwhile, back on the ITV soap, Cait recently exclusively told The Sun how the soap will feature a game-changing episode based on its younger cast.

Fans have seen Lauren caught up in an epic disappearance plot and her connection with the wicked Joel Deering.

She spoke to The Sun at the British Soap Awards where they revealed the “different” twist that would be rocking the soap.

Cait told us: “There is gonna be something quite different in the near-near future where we see all the younger cast come together.

“We really enjoyed that because nine times out of ten you don’t really get to see people unless you are working with them.

“Working with people our own age has been so much fun.

“It was two weeks of us non-stop altogether.”

She then joked: “I felt sorry for the crew and directors by the end of it but it was so much fun.”
