In one of the pictures Betsy gave her best pout as she posed by the sea with a stunning sequin hat on with a B on it.

Another showed the mother daughter duo embracing in a hug as she smiled for the camera.

The third picture from the selection had some familiar faces in it – Towie stars Lydia Bright, her mum Debbie and their famous family.

Denise also shared some selfies with the rest of their “West Mersea family”.

She captioned the post: “BETSY is 12 bank holiday birthday fun with our West Mersea family  @parkholidaysuk @alfieoneill_ @markyferry @lydiabright @xdebbietowiex @dave_thetiler @xgeorgiabrightx Loretta .”

Many rushed to the comments section to send Betsy their best wishes.

Gogglebox favourite Scarlett Moffatt said: “Happy birthday Betsy xx.”

Sam and Billie Faiers’ mum Suzie Wells added: “Happiest of birthdays to your beautiful Betsy .”

Lisa Snowdon chimed in: “Happy Birthday Betsy! .”

This isn’t the first time Betsy has had an amazing party.

Last year she celebrated turning 11 with a cinema-themed bash with a teepee and red carpet.

The luxury tent was decorated with red bean bags and cushions and plenty of cinema-themed memorabilia, including LED decorations and Hollywood Directors clapboards.

Betsy received a grand Hollywood entrance and VIP style treatment with her own red carpet and red rope.

There was also a huge decorative 11 birthday number stand filled with more balloons.

The former couple tied the knot in 2009, but split in 2013.

In March Denise split from her partner Eddie Boxshall after seven years together.
