The loved-up couple have recently enjoyed a break in Mauritius, prior to Laila making her debut on screen.

Keeping her followers up to date with her break, Laila shared a shot of herself wrapped around the Fresh Meat star while they lounged on the beach in their swimwear.

In another shot the pair are cosied up for a selfie, causing one person to remark they were a “gorgeous couple”.

Adam is also no stranger to sharing pictures of Laila and regularly posts shots of them hanging out, wearing matching clothes and enjoying date nights.

The couple even recreated Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s engagement picture as they celebrated Christmas together.

Alongside a picture of them looking very much like the famous couple, Adam joked: “Same same but different #merrychristmas @lailazaidi 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄.”

Laila has joined the Benidorm cast playing Rob Dawson’s girlfriend and soon-to-be fiancee, called Cyd.

She previously appeared in Doctors, but this is her first major role.
