Emmerdate veteran Lisa often keeps her relationship with Al – with whom she lives in Yorkshire – out of the limelight.
Yet she broke with tradition this week to upload a loved-up snap showing them together.
You’ve Been Framed host can be seen leaning in towards her man and flashing a huge smile.
In her caption, Lisa revealed the happy moment and put: “HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BUBS.
“Wow Mr Al….it’s nine years today hey??? We must being doing something right!!! love you…..thanks for the laughter.”
Fans were quick to react to the celebrations as one put: “Happy Anniversary to you both & hope you have fabulous day xx”
A second added: “Happy Anniversary to you both, enjoy every magic moment of your journey together.”
A third then put: “Such a beautiful couple I am still so happy for you xxxx”
One gushed: “Lovely Couple. Congratulations,” as another concluded: “Beautiful photo hun.”
Recently, Lisa delighted fans with a very rare snap of her partner as they enjoyed a holiday to New York.
And previously she revealed the heart-breaking reason they would never marry.
The revelation came just weeks after the actress shared her agony over “losing her world” following the death of her beloved mum 11 years ago.
Lisa has said she always knew her big day would be heartbreaking without her late mother by her side.
But now she has revealed Al’s mum – her future mother-in-law – also passed away last year.
So now her and fiance Al are planning to just keep things as they are.
Speaking to the Mirror she said: “We don’t want to change anything.
“Both of us talk about it all the time and feel as long as we’re happy we don’t need rings on our fingers.
“We’ve lost both our mums. And when it comes to things like weddings, you do it for the other people.”
Lisa added: “I’m never going to change my name, so really, what would be different? And I wouldn’t be able to wear a wedding band very much because I’ve always got Mandy’s jewellery on.
“Plus, I’ve always said I’m not the kind of girl who wants a big flouncy day with a horse and carriage.”
It comes after Lisa committed her future to the ITV soap in a major new deal – extending her stay for three years.
Lisa is a hugely respected soap veteran, first joining Emmerdale as Mandy back in 1995.
