Danniella flaunted her trim physique in a leopard print bikini while Alan showed off his tan bod in a pair of camouflage shorts.

The couple looked super loved up as they enjoyed an afternoon on the beach.

In other snaps Danniella can be seen with her arms wrapped around her beau as they lovingly gaze into each other’s eyes.

Taking to Twitter earlier today Danniella, who has not yet confirmed the engagement, expressed how happy she was.

She tweeted: “I’m in the best place of my life and so happy I can’t stop smiling.”

The actress has had a pretty complication relationship history.

She tied the knot with van driver Ben Morgan in 1998 after eight weeks of knowing each other.

The relationship didn’t last long, though, and they divorced less than one year later.

She then married millionaire businessman Kevin Jenkins on 27 December 2001. They have daughter Jody together.

But 13 years later their relationship ended with him blaming her drug addiction as the reason for the split.

Danniella also had son Kai, 21, from her relationship with Robert Fernandez, which lasted two years.

Could this new romance be a fresh start for the star?

Danniella recently underwent facelift surgery in Poland.

But shortly after, the actress spoke out against cosmetic surgery warning others about the dangers that come with it.

The former drug addict has gone under the knife several times but insists “surgery isn’t worth it”.

She told The Sun: “I’m petrified. I’m petrified that it won’t work, and my face will be ruined, but also that something might go wrong and I won’t wake up at all.

“I am never going to look the same ever again. People don’t realise surgery isn’t worth it. So what if you’re not perfect? Nobody’s perfect.

“But if your body has the wrong reaction to surgery, you’re screwed.

“You could spend the rest of your life getting something fixed you didn’t need in the first place.”

Back in March it was revealed that Danniella would be heading into a rehabilitation centre to fix her life “once and for all”.

She tweeted to her fans at the time: “So looking forward 2 working on myself &kick all addictions& demons once & for all. I can’t wait 2 check in 2 treatment.”

Danniella stayed at Villa Paradiso in Mijas Hills, Marbella.

Following her stay Danniella stayed in Marbella, where she is still currently living, and spoke about her fresh start on ITV’s Loose Women back in May.

She told the panellists that she she had opened a bar in Spain. But Jane Moore wasn’t sure that was the right decision for her to make.

Danniella, who has struggled with a drug addiction most of her life, told the panellists: “I’ve just opened a bar in Spain with a friend of mine.”

Jane, 54, interrupted: “You’ve opened a bar!?

“Isn’t that like being on a diet and opening a cake shop?”

Laughing it off Danniella said: “But I’m better on the other side of the bar. I’m a people person.”

Jane then went on to ask the star: “How many times are we going to see you saying, ‘I’m recovering, I’m doing well’?”

Danniella fired back: “I will always be an addict, that’s me.”
