Huge love as ever to beautiful Stephen Frost for throwing me into this madness, and to @richardvranch @iancoppinger @joerooney1 and @rufushound for being hilarious men and terrible influences," she posted alongside a series of snaps, including one of her and Rufus beaming at the camera.
She followed this post with a collection of photos of the pair at the festival with a special shout-out to her beau: "P.S. @RufusHound is the best person I ever met. So there's that as well [heart emoji]."
Rufus penned a similarly heartfelt message for Sally, saying it is a "blessing" to be her boyfriend.
He wrote: "No one has ever loved me as much as this woman and the best bit is she's all things wonderful. It's a blessing to be her boyfriend and she is my absolute best person that I didn't make.
