Claire Sweeney and Ricky Hatton spark romance rumours as they enjoy cosy night ... trends now
Claire Sweeney and Ricky Hatton have sparked romance rumours after they were spotted looking cosy on a night out together over the weekend.
The Brookside and Coronation Street actress, 52, and the former professional boxer, 45, - who are both believed to be single - looked loved-up and put their arms around each other as they enjoyed a pub crawl in Manchester.
The pair both starred on Dancing On Ice earlier this year where it appears they developed a connection.
On the show Claire was partnered with professional skater Colin Grafton and was eliminated in week three, while Ricky was partnered with Robin Johnstone left in week one.
And while neither were particularly successful on the skating show it appears a romance may have blossomed from it.
