Ricky Hatton and Coronation Street star, Claire Sweeney, have been papped looking loved-up after meeting on Dancing On Ice . The former boxer, 45 and Brookside actress, 52, both chanced their arm on the ITV reality show earlier this year, which was won by
Actor, Ryan Thomas . However, despite being booted off the series before they could reach the final, it looks like Ricky and Claire still enjoyed their time on the ice after they rocked up at the pub together on Saturday. Spotted enjoying a pub crawl in Ricky’s home town of Greater Manchester, the pair were papped leaving their first watering hole with
Friends at around 6pm, carrying bottles of Veuve Clicquot champagne. They were later spotted arm in arm arriving at another nearby pub at about 11pm, with their arms around one another.

Actress - who looked fabulous sporting a form-fitting black sequinned dress - to keep her warm when they left an hour later before heading back in the direction of his house on foot. Claire, famed for playing Lyndsey Corkhill on Brookside, admitted that despite a string of failed romances she's in no rush to find love again earlier this year. The actress and
Singer admitted she hadn't been on a date since
Christmas , and has sought comfort knowing that her grandmother didn't find 'the love of her life' until she was 86. Claire's last long-term romance came with Daniel Reilly, and the pair split in 2017. They share son Jaxon, eight. The couple looked very cosy together ( Image: SplashNews.com) Ricky, meanwhile, was dealt a bitter blow earlier this year following the break down of his brief relationship with
Playboy model,
Chelsea Claire , who at 31 years old is 14 years his junior. Ricky, who has three kids, started dating Chelsea last summer but decided to keep their romance a secret until October of that year. And while things appeared to be going well for the sportsman, it seems a combination of their vast age gap, along with work commitments, took too much of a toll on their relationship. A source told The Sun : "Ricky and Chelsea had a great time together, but it ended up being more of a fling. They are at very different stages of their life and Ricky is really throwing himself into training and wants to concentrate on that. Things are still really amicable and they will be friends going forward." They looked like they were enjoying the pub crawl in Manchester ( Image: SplashNews.com) Ricky carried bottles of bubbly ( Image: SplashNews.com) Despite being an early fan favourite, Ricky got the chop from Dancing On Ice after just one performance. He later confessed he was "gutted" to be going home despite the judges applauding him for how far he'd come. Speaking to hosts Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern, he said: "I'm gutted to be going home yeah, I've tried to be a winner all my life in everything I've done. It's been a while since I saw the second round. I think I will carry on skating." Claire, meanwhile, did slightly better on the ITV show and was the third celebrity eliminated along with professional skater Colin Grafton. Sky launches epic
