Danniella Westbrook went her separate ways from her husband Kevin Jenkins five years ago.
Now half a decade on, the actress, 45, made a public plea to her husband to get a divorce as she revealed they hadn't legally separated.
In a tongue-in-cheek manner, the former soap star begged for a divorce while she wished her husband of 19 years a bittersweet happy birthday on Twitter .
"Happy birthday to my husband of nearly 19 years Kevin Jenkins. Hope you have the most amazing birthday weekend K. But after 5 years of asking please let me give you this GIFT #DontAskDontGet #MrTA."
Danniella shared the birthday note for all the eyes of her 235.4K followers to see
The exes were full of hope for their romance when they were married in December 2001.
They called it quits on their love story in 2014 after just 13 years of marriage.
Former flames Danniella and Kevin also raised her son Kai, 22, from a previous relationship and their daughter Jody, 17, together.
It wasn't Danniella's first try at marriage as the actress has had a turbulent time in the romance department.
The soap star previously tied the knot to Ben Morgan in 1998 but they put an end to their marriage just a year later in 1999.
The London born beauty was thrown into the limelight when she landed a big role on EastEnders as Sam Mitchell at the age of 16.
Danniella was on/off on EastEnders playing major character Sam Mitchell from the age of 16 until 2016 when she made her final appearance on the soap.
Earlier this year, the actress was given the all clear after battling a terrifying womb cancer.
