Rory Douglas Speed - who played Joel Dexter on the show - was amongst those there to watch her happy moment.
Caroline is thought to have met Phil on a plane and fell head over heels - choosing to keep their romance out of the limelight.
The actress' first prominent role was in 2019, when she appeared as Mariana in Line of Duty.
Caroline then played a Polish immigrant smuggled into England on Hollyoaks for a number of months in 2021.
She became close to Rory during her time in the village and describes him as her 'brother from another mother'.
Since then she has appeared in over 20 Bollywood films and she has become a TikTok sensation - with millions of views per video.
On Hollyoaks Caroline was the unsuspecting van driver of the laptops that Brad King, Warren Fox and Felix Westwood were planning to steal.
She was directed into a garage as part of their ploy - where she was tied up, leaving her terrified.
In a scuffle Katja managed to escape and jumped in the van - but managed to reverse it into Maxine - knocking her unconscious.

TV tonight: a tense German crime drama based on real life murder cases
9pm, BBC Four This German drama is based on the real police investigation into two murders in 2016. When a woman goes missing on her run, a local search potentially interferes with evidence.

Are they connected to a murder committed four years earlier? Hollie Richardson 6.50pm, BBC One As this rollercoaster season reaches its climax, the odds seem stacked against the Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) – we last saw him tumbling in freefall.

Graeme Virtue 8.20m, Channel 4 All aboard the world's most famous steam train – and the first to reach 100mph and circumnavigate the world – in this two-part documentary. It starts with an innovative design by Nigel Gresley, with a vision of shorter journey times and more passengers, which led to the Flying Scotsman being built in 1923. HR 9.20pm, BBC One No one is in a hurry to solve the 70-year-old cold case, but there's plenty of other fun to be had in this Australian adaptation of the novel by Liane Moriarty.

This £18 mascara has made me ditch my ride-or-die after 10+ years
Shopping writer Lauren has been asked multiple times if she is donning false eyelashes when wearing this bestselling formula As a beauty writer, I test new products almost daily - from buzzy TikTok launches to under-the-radar gems. But like many people, I have my beauty staples I rarely stray from: MAC's mauve pink Mehr lipstick, Jo Malone's Pomegranate Noir perfume and, up until recently, Estée Lauder's Double Wear Lengthening Mascara. That was until My Mascara by Sculpted by Aimee landed on my desk. One coat later, and I haven't picked up Double Wear since, meaning I've said goodbye to a decade of regular use. Retailing for a very reasonable £18 on the brand's website and at Boots, Sculpted by Aimee's ultra-black mascara has completely won me over. The curved wand is a game-changer - it hugs the lash line perfectly, coating each individual lash and leaving them looking fuller, lifted, and longer. It's also impressive long-wearing. I can apply it in the morning and trust that it'll stay put without smudging until I take it off, which, admittedly, takes a little effort. Get the look £18 Sculpted by Aimee Buy Now on Sculpted by Aimee Product Description I have to use a couple of face wipes or a proper eye makeup remover to get the last trace off, so it's worth considering. But honestly, it's a small price to pay for lashes that look this good. If you'd prefer an easier removal process, there are alternative options available. Benefit's Badgal Bang! is great for lifting lashes, but it's also easy to apply and remove. Likewise, the MACStack Mascara Mega Brush is easy to remove with a single face wipe. Back to Sculpted by Aimee, I'm not the only one who is impressed. Clinical testers back me up, with 92% of testers saying their lashes looked more voluminous. Meanwhile, 95% agreed lashes looked longer. My only slight gripe, aside from it being a little difficult to remove, is that it can appear slightly clumpy on the first swipe. But with a couple more strokes, it evens out beautifully, separating the lashes and building up that full, fluttery effect without going spidery. All in all, I didn't expect to find a new mascara after more than a decade, but here we are. Sorry, Estée - I've got a new favourite. Shoppers can purchase My Mascara by Sculpted by Aimee through the brand's website and at Boots.

C*A*U*G*H*T Sunday, ITVX War, mistaken identity and viral fame collide in C*A*U*G*H*T, where four Aussie soldiers are dumped in the chaos of a war-torn island, where everything spirals out of control. Captured by rebels who believe they're Americans, the group become viral sensations after filming a hostage video - then decide fame beats going home. Created by Kick Gurry, this darkly funny satire skewers celebrity culture with help from stars like Sean Penn and Matthew Fox. It's outrageous, unpredictable and wickedly smart. Mountainhead Sunday, Sky Atlantic Four billionaire friends, one luxury chalet and global economic collapse - Mountainhead is the end-of-the-world comedy you didn't know you needed. Steve Carell, Jason Schwartzman, Cory Michael Smith and Ramy Youssef all star as filthy rich frenemies navigating doomsday with cocktails and passive aggression. Isolated from the chaos below, their retreat turns into a psychological (and hilarious) pressure cooker. Who cracks first? Who hoards the snacks? And what's left when your money means nothing? It's a sharp and stylish satire on privilege. Matt Baker's British Isles Tuesday, More4 Matt Baker's got his walking boots on - and his heart firmly rooted in home soil. In this lush four-part series, the Countryfile star treks across the UK, from Kent's white cliffs to Northern Ireland and Scotland, to meet the extraordinary people quietly shaping Britain.

It's more than sightseeing - it's soul-sighting. A great reminder of what makes Britain truly brilliant. Blue Road: The Edna O'Brien Story Tuesday, Sky Arts Few writers lived as boldly as Edna O'Brien - and this intimate documentary captures her fire in full. From banned books to literary breakthroughs, Blue Road traces Edna's fearless path through fame, feminism and family. With tributes from friends, sons and fellow authors, plus access to her personal diaries, this isn't just a biography - it's a final love letter, month after the icon's death in July, 2024. Filmmaker Sinéad O'Shea honours the Irish legend with grace and grit. Edna may have passed but her voice, spirit and rebellion clearly live on. The Rookie Tuesday, Sky Witness Nathan Fillion is back as the LAPD's most seasoned recruit, John Nolan. No longer the new kid on the block, John faces fresh pressure in season seven of The Rookie as he recovers from a gunshot wound and grapples with the physical toll of the job. But there's no slowing down - especially with two new rookies joining the team and a dangerous manhunt underway for two escaped inmates. Blending grit, humour and heart, The Rookie continues to prove that experience is the ultimate weapon. What It Feels Like For a Girl Tuesday, BBC Heartbreaking, chaotic and unexpectedly hilarious, What It Feels Like For a Girl is the BBC's Y2K-styled adaptation of Paris Lees' memoir. It follows Byron (Ellis Howard), who breaks free from the drudgery of his working-class hometown and dives headfirst into Nottingham's neon-lit underworld. There, he meets a crew of new friends, drugs and dizzying nights of rebellion. But when Byron falls for bad boy Liam (Jake Dunn), the fallout is brutal. A raw coming-of-age tale that blends euphoria, trauma and truth in equal measure. You'll feel every high - and every crash. Stick Wednesday, Apple TV+ Owen Wilson stars in Stick, a quirky underdog comedy about second chances and missed swings. He plays Pryce Cahill, a washed-up golf pro whose glory days are long behind him. After losing his wife, job and mojo, he meets Santi (Peter Dager), a 17-year-old golf prodigy with baggage - and maybe a shot. Together, they form an unlikely bond. Set in small-town Indiana and full of dry wit, this series mixes sports, found family and emotional redemption. Pryce may be down, but don't count him out - he's about to tee off on life again. The Survivors When Kieran Elliott returns to his hometown, fifteen years after a deadly storm ravaged the area and left three of his friends dead, he walks straight into a fresh murder that rips open old scars. The Survivors blends seaside small-town secrets with brooding, slow-build suspense across six punchy episodes. Fronted by Charlie Vickers (Rings of Power), the drama grips like a rip tide, dragging you through trauma, guilt and buried truths. As the town closes ranks, Kieran's past resurfaces - and the monster may be someone they all know. Emotional, eerie and impossible to pause. Straw Friday, Netflix Tyler Perry and Taraji P. Henson deliver gut-punch drama in Straw, a searing look at one woman's spiral through desperation. Janiyah, a single mother with a sick child, faces the kind of day where every door shuts - and survival demands unthinkable choices. Stark, raw and viscerally emotional, Straw is a bruising portrait of motherhood on the edge. The Color Purple and Hidden Figures star Taraji is phenomenal, anchoring a story that speaks to systemic failure, strength and sacrifice. You won't be able to look away - even when it hurts.
