Coronation Street star Cait Fitton has publicly celebrated her real-life boyfriend Ben's 24th birthday with a heartfelt social media post. The actress, known for playing Lauren Bolton on the ITV soap, shared a series of pictures and videos on TikTok, including a shot outside the famous Rovers Return pub, alongside a gushing message.
Birthday Tribute Details
In her post, Fitton wrote: 'Happy birthday to the man who steals my food, leaves socks everywhere, and somehow still manages to be the best thing that ever happened to me.' She continued: 'You're kind, loving, and you put up with me — that alone makes you a superhero. Thank you for being my rock, my comfort, and my favourite chaos. I hope your day is as special as you and even better than that! Love you long time.'
The tribute comes after the couple celebrated their first anniversary earlier this year. In a previous Instagram Story, Ben posted a photo of them in a restaurant with the caption: 'Happy 1st anniversary ma love', which Fitton reposted, adding 'Nothing but love'.
Fitton's Role on Coronation Street
Cait Fitton made her debut as Lauren Bolton in late 2022, arriving in Weatherfield with her father Reece Bolton, a member of Griff Reynolds' far-right gang. Her character was later involved in a storyline where she was abused by solicitor Joel Deering, gave birth to his son Frankie (who was diagnosed with aplastic anaemia), and was charged with Joel's murder before being cleared by a jury. More recently, Lauren has taken a quieter role as a barmaid at the Rovers Return.
