Danielle Armstrong has penned a moving Instagram tribute to her late best friend Sammy.
In May 2018 Sammy Brandon died after a three-year battle with breast cancer.
Today, on what would have been her 31st birthday, Danielle, 32, shared a sweet snap of herself and her pal lazing next to a pool in bikinis.
She also shared one of Sammy holding a glass of bubbly as she relaxed on a sun lounger - and told how she would be toasting one of the drinks in her honour.
The former TOWIE star wrote with the caption: "Happy heavenly birthday Sammy our angel. Miss you everyday we will be having a glass of bubbly for you today my darling.
"I know you will be wish us, love and miss you always."
The day after Sammy's death Danielle posted a emotional tribute to her pal alongside a montage of their happiest moments together.
Sammy was tragically diagnosed with breast cancer when she was just 27.
Danielle wrote: "Last night we lost a princess but heaven gained an angel.
"We have been friends for over 20 Years and I can’t even find the words to describe how I’m feeling apart from the fact I’m so blessed an honoured to call you my best friend."
Sammy discovered she had breast cancer in 2015, and Danielle shared the shocking news with her fans, tweeting, "My friend Sammy 27 has been battling breast cancer words can't describe how I feel but we will be positive."
However, after a year of treatment it appeared she was on the mend.
"Last night we celebrated our beautiful @sammybrandon's first night out with the girls after a brave year fighting breast cancer," Danielle posted in December 2016.
"We love you and so happy we have our Sammy back #friends #20years #special #close #lovethesegirls."
