The TV star, who is known for his roles in soaps such as Holby City and Coronation Street, posted the emotional message to Louella via his Instagram account on his 61st Birthday.
The actor, who lives in North London with his family, shared a picture of Louella's personalised Arsenal football team shirt with her nickname 'Lou Lou' written across the back.
