Dawn French delighted fans on Sunday as she wished her "serious/going steady" boyfriend Idris Elba a happy birthday.
Sharing a picture of the actor shirtless on a motorbike, she wrote alongside it: "So he said, 'I'll just bring your scooter in darling' & I said 'But you've forgotten your shirt!', & he said 'Who cares it's all for you babe'.... & then I snapped this… Happy Birthday to my serious/going steady boyfriend @idriselba."

Another one joked: "Daaaaaaaamn girl. What a way to heat up my timeline at this hour. Also, thank you. Such a beautiful image to see just before I go to sleep!"
A third remarked: "Just woke up and this gorgeous smiling man has certainly started my day off nicely. Thank you Dawn for sharing your (fantasy) boyfriend, and happy birthday to Idris x."
Despite Dawn's hilarious tweet, the actress has been happily married to Mark Bignell since 2013. However, earlier this year the 62-year-old shared a cute selfie of her "true love", her Jack Russell Terrier.
