Last month Judi and Finty headed to Barbados together where they kicked back during a relaxing beach getaway.
Dame Judi met her conservationist other-half David Mills, 76, in 2010 when he asked her to open the new badger enclosure at his Surrey zoo.
However speaking in 2017, the talented actress was adamant that they are not going to take their relationship to the next level.

Dame Judi said: ‘He’s not going to propose. No, no, no, no, no! Let’s all just pull ourselves together and be our age!
‘I have a jolly nice friend now. I don’t know what the word is because I don’t like the word partner. Partner is something to do with dancing. Partner – horrible word. Friend? No. Boyfriend? No. Chap? Will chap do?’
However the cinematic icon spoke warmly about her romance with David, a former dairy farmer and founder of the British Wildlife Centre.
She told Good Housekeeping: ‘One hot night during the summer, we swam and then had a glass of Champagne in the garden and I said, this is so fantastic!
‘But perhaps if I was a romantic, I’d have been cool and calm about it. I get a bit over excited about things. I love having a good laugh… a sense of humour is the most attractive thing of all. It’s essential.’
Dame Judi was previously married to the actor Michael Williams, her co-star in the sitcom A Fine Romance, for 30 years, until he died of lung cancer in 2001.
