Amanda Abbington was all smiles as she attended the press night of The Last Laugh with her fiance Jonathan Goodwin on Wednesday.
The Sherlock star, 50, was among the stars who stepped out for the performance at The Noel Coward Theatre on London’s West End.
The actress looked effortlessly chic in a white textured zip-up jacket paired with black trousers.
Meanwhile Jonathan, who was left paralyzed and in a wheelchair after a terrifying stunt accident in 2021, wore a black quarter-zip jumper and blue jeans.
The pair appeared in great spirits as they beamed for snaps on the red carpet before going into the venue to enjoy the show.
Written and directed by Paul Hendy, The Last Laugh stars Bob Golding, Damian Williams, and Simon Cartwright.

The play offers a reimagined look at the lives of three of Britain’s most beloved comedy legends -Tommy Cooper, Eric Morecambe, and Bob Monkhouse.
With a runtime of an hour and twenty minutes, The Last Laugh is showing in London through to March 22.
Amanda and former escapologist and stunt performer Jonathan began dating in 2021 and were reported to have got engaged in May 2023.
The actress has had a busy year, and in July, more than six months after Amanda quit Strictly Come Dancing citing ‘personal reasons,’ she made accusations against her pro dance partner Giovanni Pernice.
She claimed that he exhibited ‘unnecessary, cruel and mean behaviour’ during their time together on the show.
Giovanni rejected the claims immediately and a BBC investigation ruled in September that her claims of physical aggression and threatening behaviour were not upheld.
But complaints of verbal bullying and harᴀssment meant the BBC issued an apology but Giovanni said he was ‘pleased the report has not found any evidence of threatening or abusive behaviour’.
Now cleared by the investigation and a dancer on the Italian version of Strictly, Giovanni will head out on tour again later in the year with best pal Anton Du Beke.

The actress signed up for a month-long stint in a show called (This Is Not A) Happy Room at the trendy King’s Head Theatre in Islington, portraying the role of Esther.
The theatre can seat around 180 guests for the show but by yesterday just 64 tickets, which cost between £10 and £35, had been sold for the opening night – a preview – on March 26.
Amanda, who has two children from her previous relationship with The Office and Sherlock star Martin Freeman, will play alongside Outlanders actress Rosie Day, who also wrote the dark comedy which is hailed as ‘Saltburn meets Schitt’s Creek’.
One source said: ‘You have to wonder if Amanda hadn’t got herself entangled in the whole row with Giovanni whether she might have something a little more high-profile and better paid.
‘It is such a shame they fell out. If they hadn’t, they could have won Strictly and Amanda would be the most sought after woman in town. But she felt she needed to speak up for other women. Arguably, you have to wonder whether that came at a cost.’
