Today, the stars have shed their spikes and transformed into a slew of squishy, gooey love hearts in honour of everyone’s least and favourite day of the year: Valentine’s Day.
So far, we’ve received poignant tributes from The Beckhams, new parents Stacey Dooley and Molly-Mae Hague, and some words of wisdom from the one and only Gemma Collins.
The Beckhams got the party started early, with David rolling out of bed (or scrolling in bed) to share a 7 a.m. photo of him and Victoria nicknamed Posh Spice back when he was a footballer and wore those signature blonde tips.
Tagging their kids in the post too, David wrote: ‘Happy Valentines to my valentine 🌹 we Love You @victoriabeckham.. ❤️ ❤️’
A few hours later, Victoria responded with an equally cute blast from the past, in which the pair are seen hugging in two shots from a similar timeframe.
The fashion megastar captioned it with: ’26 years and still my Valentine, I love you so much @davidbeckham 💕💕💕💕 kisses.’
Can we be a part of this? Please?
Stacey Dooley revealed her infant in a very lovely video in which her husband, former Strictly dancer Kevin Clifton, made hilarious expressions at tiny Minnie, who was wearing a sweater with her name on the back.
The documentary maker and Strictly Come Dancing alumni, wrote: ‘My Valentines 💘 The loves of my life. 🏹🏹 I dunno what I did to get SO lucky. 🥺 To the best dad and man in the world ….. happy vally’s darlin. Ps….. you’re on nights when u get home from tour 🤪.’
Molly-Mae, who recently brought her daughter Bambi into the world with Love Island co-star Tommy Fury, went all out for the, well, big day and even put out her tot’s love heart attire yesterday in anticipation, much like a stocking on Christmas Eve.
The PrettyLittleThing creative director, 23, also shared a photo of young Bambi laying on Tommy’s breast, writing, ‘When you think you couldn’t love your bf any more and then…’
The Love Island actress also uploaded a photo of her and Tommy looking all loved up and another of the professional boxer beaming at the camera, which she captioned with some beautiful words: ‘Happy Valentine’s Day to the boy that makes my world go round. I can’t believe I get to wake up to your face forever.’
Millie Mackintosh and Hugo Taylor of Made in Chelsea appear to be enjoying Valentine’s Day after welcoming two children together in recent years.
Hugo took to social media with an adorable picture of the pair kissing in the sea, and said (in the sweetest post yet): ‘Love is pure happiness, obsession, someone you can’t live without. I’ve felt this way about you since the day we met over 20 years ago. Happy Valentine’s Day @milliemackintosh 😍😘🔥⚡️⭐️.’

Meanwhile, in the realm of Gemma Collins, where we all want to be, there’s a lot of self-love and some great counsel.
Captioning a video of the one and only GC sipping on some bubbly to the happy tune of This Will Be by Natalie Cole, the icon wrote with many shouty capital letters: ‘THE MOST IMPORTANT RELATIONSHIP YOU WILL HAVE 🌹 is with YOURSELF 🌹LOVE YOURSELF 🌹 HAPPY VALENTINES and remember you must be your own greatest love of all 🌹 ….
‘To anyone feeling low today don’t worry you got this 🌹 but a bit of advice don’t listen to Miley today !!! About buying your own flowers let’s be fair it’s nicer when someone buys them for you 🌹.’
Here, here.
Appreciate Island’s Liberty Poole also provided some positivity with a tweet urging people to love their bodies and ‘normalise blemishes on social media’.
The actress shared two images of herself in lingerie, one at her most attractive position and another with her belly squashed up to show how varied shots of the same body can seem.
She wrote: ‘Happy Valentines – Love your body and normalise imperfections on social media❤️Couldn’t think of a better day to accept every part of ourselves!
‘My tummy has always been one of my biggest insecurities it’s where I gain weight and I suffer with being very bloated at times. But you know what that’s normal ! So we shouldn’t be made to feel like it isn’t.
‘Growing up and still to this day sometimes I still feel the need to look picture perfect but it isn’t day to day life. We have good days, bad days and all the days in-between.
‘I felt like I had to lose weight to fit in with the low waist skirt and cargo fashion trend otherwise people would stare at my tummy and assume I was pregnant or comment on it . And you know what I went out in low waist the other day and didn’t care !!
Everyday I choose me over anyone so I owe it to myself to love every part of me to posed and unposed . If I can do it YOU can too . Love you all Lib ❤️
