Natalie Cassidy poses with rarely seen boyfriend – who also works at EastEnders
EASTENDERS star Natalie Cassidy posed with her rarely-seen fiancé Marc Humphries who also works on the show.
The actress – who plays Sonia Fowler on the BBC One soap – shared a candid photo next to cameraman Marc.
The soap legend, 39, took their daughters Eliza and Joanie out for dinner but the grown-ups looked like they were having more fun.
In the photo, Natalie and Marc could be seen colouring in a black and white illustration while waiting for their food.
The TV star captioned it: “When mummy and daddy enjoy the kids colouring more than the kids.”
Natalie often keeps fans updated on her life away from Albert Square.
But many fans may not be aware that Marc also works on the soap as a freelance cameraman.
Natalie, 38, and Marc have been an item since 2014, getting engaged in October the following year.
A few months later she revealed she was pregnant with her second child and Joanie Elizabeth Cassidy-Humphreys was born in August 2016.
The soap favourite also has a daughter called Eliza from a relationship with ex Adam Cottrell.
Earlier this week, Natalie gave fans a glimpse of her festive family celebrations.
The actress shared a series of snaps over Christmas showing her kissing her hunky partner.
Looking very trim in all black, Natalie was lifted up in Marc’s arms before they posed with their daughters.
She told her followers it has been “a great Christmas day”, which was more than can be said for her onscreen persona.
Sonia was at the centre of the epic Carter’s Christmas dinner that saw Janine rumbled once and for all.
But things are looking up for her character after she met Dot’s great-nephew Reiss Colwell, portrayed by Jonny Freeman, and enjoyed a romantic couple of days with him.
She has also just inherited Dot’s house and bagged a new job at the surgery, which is set to make her work life much easier.
Speaking about how life is going to get better, Natalie recently said of her character: “Let’s be honest, Sonia’s been a bit miserable, not only miserable but she had a lot going on.
“You’ve got to remember she’s a nurse, she works really hard, she’s got Dotty on her case all the time, Dot’s not been around.
“I feel saying goodbye to Dot and having this shining beacon of light [in Reiss] come in, I feel like it’s going to be a really exciting time [for Sonia].
“I can’t give too much away but with the stuff I’ve been doing lately, I really feel you’re seeing the comedic side of Sonia come back and the light.
“And I really am enjoying that because I haven’t done it in a while and it feels really special.”
