In June, Jamie celebrated 20 years of marriage to wife Jools.   

Jools shared a shot of herself letting loose on the dance floor during their 10-year wedding anniversary celebrations.

Taking to Instagram, the author uploaded the fun-filled image, which showed her heavily pregnant as she donned an off-the-shoulder ivory gown.  

As she hit the floor with both hands in the air, her pals were putting on an energetic display, including actor-turned-filmmaker Dexter Fletcher, 54.

Captioning the shot, mother-of-five Jools wrote: ‘Just found this @jaseflem123 @dexfletch @ellyflem 10 years ago at our wedding anniversary….best moves jase (little buds in my tummy 8months pregnant..think this may have been a dance off).’
