Claire Sweeney and her boyfriend Ricky Hatton put on a display of love while enjoying a romantic dinner in Manchester on Thursday night.
The Coronation Street actress, 53, looked chic in a low-cut black top which she wore with a silver cross necklace and YSL earrings.
Meanwhile, the boxer, 45, opted for a T-shirt with his own name on it as he smiled for a sweet photo while snuggling up next to the stunner in a booth.
The lovebirds enjoyed an Italian dinner at stylish San Carlo restaurant and Claire captioned the photo: “Lovely dinner @sancarlorestaurants Manchester tonight with @rickyhitmanhatton.”
While Ricky added: ‘Good food for me and my @claire.sweeney as always @sancarlorestaurants Manchester. See you next time.’

Earlier this month the couple, who hit it off after they both appeared on Dancing On Ice in January, celebrated Ricky’s 46th birthday alongside family and friends in sunny Tenerife.
Claire wowed in a pink and white halterneck jumpsuit, while Ricky cut a casual figure in a bold blue T-shirt.
The boxer recently revealed that the pair still get on “like a house on fire” after the pair returned from their holiday.
When asked by The Sun how his holiday had gone, he replied: ‘It was great! Claire is like me, I have met someone who I get along with like a house on fire.
‘She’s just like me. We spent all our time laughing together. Claire is just like me: she’s down to earth.
“She would never turn down a photo with a fan and always has time for people. That’s what I really like about her. We’ve been having a lot of fun.
Their sun-soaked getaway came just weeks after their red carpet debut in Manchester.
A source recently revealed that Claire also plans to introduce retired boxer Hatton to her family, including her nine-year-old son Jaxon.

The boxer recently revealed that the pair still get on “like a house on fire” after the pair returned from their holiday.
A source told MailOnline: ‘Claire and Ricky have become very close. She wasn’t looking for a relationship, but then Ricky came along and it felt good and natural and she’s really happy.
“She signed up for a reality TV show and met a great guy, so she feels like she won the lottery, and she’s really counting her blessings since it all came out of nowhere and often that’s the best way.”
“She is now looking forward to introducing Ricky to her family and friends soon, and they are looking forward to meeting the boy who has made Claire smile.”
A source said The mirror: ‘The chemistry was electric. Ricky left the show early on, but contacted her later and let’s just say he started courting her.
‘They have been going out on several dates. Saturday was just one of a long list of them. They have been seeing each other quite a bit. He is completely in love.
“It seems like an unlikely pairing, but he’s always had a way with women. They fall in love with his personality, and so does Claire.
‘He knows his number one priority is his son, so they are being very careful. Let’s watch this space.’
Before Ricky, the actress hadn’t been on a date since Christmas 2023 and joked that she could be following in the footsteps of her grandmother, who she claims didn’t find love until she was 86.
Her last long-term romance was with Daniel Reilly, the father of her son Jaxon, and they split in 2017.
