Coronation Street’s Katie McGlynn looks more loved up that ever with ex Towie star boyfriend Ricky Rayment on date night
KATIE McGlynn looked blissfully happy as she posed with her ex Towie star boyfriend Ricky Rayment on a cute date night.
The pair cuddled up for a snap at a swanky restaurant, with the former Coronation Street star holding a rose in her right hand.
The Sun recently revealed the pair’s four-month romance after they were spotted snogging in the street.
On their latest evening together Katie, 30, who played the ITV soap’s cancer-stricken Sinead Tinker, chose a black strappy top and mini skirt for her outfit.
She finished her look with thigh-high boots and styled her hair in loose waves.
Ricky, 33, who quit Towie in 2015, flashed a beaming smile in his white T-Shirt, dark jeans and boots.
He put an arm around the actress’ waist as they posed outside the Pircio restaurant.
After he uploaded the snap to his Instagram page, he added the rose Emoji icon.
Katie was quick to reply: “Thank you for being you,” to which he responded with two Emoji love hearts.
The Sun understands that the cute couple met at the start of October while on holiday and have been inseparable since.
They made things Instagram official on Valentine’s Day with a sweet picture-post.
An onlooker previously told of us of the pair’s Essex shopping date, which saw them holding hands as they strolled the shops.
They said: “They very much looked like girlfriend and boyfriend.
“They were holding hands, having a laugh and even had a little kiss as they walked amongst other Saturday afternoon shoppers.
“We noticed them as they were walking out of Hotel Chocolat. Ricky must’ve bought Katie an early Valentine’s Day gift as he was carrying a bag from there. They looked really happy together.”
The source added: “Katie and Ricky are really loved up. They’ve been careful to keep things low key while they got to know each other.
“But they’ve got to the point where they don’t care who sees them anymore.”
Ricky starred in hit ITV reality show TOWIE from 2012 to 2015 but turned his back on fame to run a fishing lake business.
He recently showed off his amazing ripped figure courtesy of his new career and told how he was “so glad” he quit life on-screen.
His hugely public life showed his engagement to Geordie Shore’s Marnie Simpson in 2015 after a whirlwind four months of dating, yet the pair split two months later.
He recently told The Sun: “I don’t speak to people from the show, none of them really. I’ve lost contact with all of them to be honest.”
Meanwhile, after her character Sinead’s tragic death on Corrie, Katie has gone on to star in TV dramas including The Syndicate.
