grateful" of their time away. The Instagram's post caption read: "Full of quality time together. Sun, sea, swimming, great food, spa treats, kayaking with tortoises most

mornings, peacocks and just total relaxation. Exactly what we both needed. Memories made and forever grateful". The trip comes after a busy few months for Amy. The dancer completed her
