She added: "He’s got a five hour appointment at a botox clinic so it’ll be a wonderful surprise (not that his face will be able to express that) Happy Birthday." Nick replied and said: "You are a complete and absolute b*****d. Thank you xx."

Fans quickly began replying to the tweet wishing him a Happy Birthday, but many were shocked that he has turned 70. @gimmeanm said: "Jimmys 70? As if! Bloody hell, I don’t look that good at 38."

@NewPennyBrown said: "Only really good friends could get away with this! It's lovely to see. Happy Birthday Nick! Someone else I share my birthday with."

@no1helen added: "Happy Birthday. No way are you 70 - might need to recheck your birth certificate." And @annditchburn said: "Hes not 70! He certainly doesn't look it I love jimmy and Nicolas's relationship it's so real."

@NikkiTheJack said: "70... No way... Is Nicola kidding Nick?? She has to be?! Happy Birthday Jimmy King. Hope you've had a splendid day."

@Kris50751 said: "70??? Is that a joke? If not I would love to know his secret, he looks fab for 70. Happy birthday." @CaroleAnn1982 added: "70! Had no idea, he looks good, the injections are working. Happy Birthday Nick Miles."

In fact, Nick Miles is not 70 but he did in fact celebrate his 60th birthday earlier this week.
