The post attracted supportive comments from fans and celebrities. Denise Van Outen wrote: You look amazing. Other fans added: Proof that age ain’t nothing but a number! You look insane and beautiful. Her son Benjamin cheekily commented: There’s still time to delete this mum, to which she replied: I was going to say that about all your gym posts... what a coincidence.Womack’s trip to Brighton comes after she dropped out of the By Royal Appointment theatre tour earlier this month for personal reasons. She was set to star alongside Jane Asher in the UK tour of Daisy Goodwin’s play. Her role will now be taken by Call The Midwife star Laura Main.The play explores the relationship between Queen Elizabeth II and her dresser, and how they created the public image of the world’s longest reigning British monarch. A press release stated: The late Queen Elizabeth II was famous for her discretion. She never said anything in public that could ruffle the lightest of feathers. But she had one way of expressing what she really thought – through her wardrobe. By Royal Appointment is a co-production with Cambridge Arts Theatre, where it opened on September 21 and runs until October 3. It will then tour to Nottingham Theatre Royal, Chelmsford Theatre, York Theatre Royal, Chichester Festival Theatre, Edinburgh King’s Theatre and Marlowe Theatre, Canterbury.Theatre Tour and Personal Life ChallengesIn April, Womack appeared to hint that her relationship with partner Oliver Farnworth had ended. She posted a photo in an outdoor hot tub with the caption: Alone again... naturally. Her EastEnders onscreen sister Rita Simons commented: Obv, love you, and Womack replied: I’ve got you though. Farnworth, 44, plays Emmerdale villain John Sugden. The couple began dating in 2019 after growing close while working on the 2019 stage adaptation of The Girl On The Train.Their relationship started a year after Womack split from her husband Mark after nineteen years of marriage. She has two children, Lili-Rose, 21, and Benjamin, 25. Womack moved to Spain with Farnworth after her beloved dog Lola died just weeks after she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2022. She had rescued Lola from Goa, India, in 2019 after she and her daughter fell in love with her during a three-week trip.Womack described Lola’s death as one of the worst days of her life, as it made her health challenges feel real. She received the all-clear five months later but called it a deeply emotional period, ultimately leading her to move to Valencia. She told the Sunday Times: She died on the same day as the Queen. I was devastated. It was one of the worst days of my life. Despite the personal difficulties, Womack’s recent Instagram post suggests she is enjoying time in her hometown and staying positive.
