EastEnders star Charlie Brooks reunited with her ex-partner Tony Truman as they celebrated Christmas with his new girlfriend during a swanky cottage break at Soho Farmhouse.
The actress was once engaged to the entrepreneur prior to their split in 2006, and they share their daughter Kiki, 21.
Charlie has previously shared that she and Tony have stayed close since their relationship ended, and the DJ shared on Instagram that she joined him and his partner Emilie Carter for the luxurious break.
Tony shared a slew of images from their time away, which included renting a private cottage at the celebrity hotspot, which can cost around £5,000 per night.
One even showed the friendly exes alongside his new girlfriend Emilie, who owns the clothing brand Bare On The Beach, as well as a group snap which featured his pals, including former EastEnders star Dean Gaffney.
Tony captioned his post: ‘Magical Christmas with the family & loved ones.’

After the end of their relationship, Charlie and Tony continued living under the same roof for more than six months after their separation.
Speaking of the decision to continue living together in 2007, she told Sunday magazine: ‘We knew our friendship would continue because that’s how our relationship started.
‘People ask if it’s weird still living together, but we’re just getting on with it for Kiki’s sake.’
In 2021 Charlie revealed that despite no longer being together, she and Tony remain close, with him living in the flat above hers in London.
Speaking to the Daily Mail at the time, she explained: ‘He is absolutely my family and nothing will ever change that, no matter how much we fall out, which we have done, big time.
‘He can be an a***hole sometimes, but nobody’s perfect. I love him to bits. He’s one of my best friends.’
The Dancing On Ice star is understood to be single after ending a short-lived relationship with producer James Fuller.
He confirmed they are no longer an item while congratulating Charlie and her ice skating skills in a social media post in February 2025.

Commenting on her performance with professional skate partner Eric Radford, he wrote: ‘Damn you guys are elegant, graceful and gorgeous! It’s a 10 for me! Can’t wait to see you skate again this Sunday!
‘You are easily the coolest, most thoughtful, wonderful, amicable ex girlfriend and current best friend that a boy could wish for.
‘So glad to be on this journey with you. You got this girl! So, so proud of you that words do no justice.’
Referring to her appearance on stage in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, he added: ‘Looking forward to a game of Rummikub with you after you have won this show and before you start Chitty!’
The former couple only announced their romantic involvement in December, when Charlie went Instagram official with James on New Year’s Eve.
It was her first public romance following her split from her boyfriend of six years, Ben Hollington, in 2018.
Charlie first joined EastEnders to play Janine in 1999, and left the soap in May 2004.
The actress has since rejoined and left the soap various times, including a long stint from April 2021 until December 2022.
