Corrie's Faye Brookes 'dating former co-star Iwan Lewis' after they're spotted on night out

Coronation Street's Faye Brookes is reportedly dating her former Legally Blonde co-star.

The actress, 34, who split from her personal trainer co-star Joe Davies in August, was spotted enjoying a night out with Iwan Lewis.

The couple were seen walking arm in arm as they left the launch of Manchester's Backyard Cinema.

Welsh theatre and film actor Iwan, 33, stopped to take a few snaps of Faye, before the pair headed out into the night.

Faye starred in the touring production of Legally Blonde with Iwan in 2011 and 2012.

He starred as Emmett in the show, while Faye took the role of Elle Woods.

In August Faye took to Twitter to tell fans that she and her former boyfriend Joe had split after three years together.

"Just wanted to say that, very sadly, after nearly three years Joe and I have decided to go our separate ways," she wrote.

"We had the most wonderful of times, and our mutual respect, admiration and friendship remains stronger than ever."

The decision was a U-turn from February, where she shared her and Joe's plans for marriage and kids.

She called her ex the "best cheerleader" during her time on Dancing on Ice.

In a chat with OK! Magazine, she said: "I would love to get married and I know Joe would too, but right now we love our lives and there is no pressure."

"There's a huge future ahead for both of us and we're on our own journey," Joe added.

She previously dated Gareth Gates and the couple even got engaged in 2019.

The couple had a wedding planned for August that year, but ended up calling off the wedding.

A source close to the Pop Idol winner said that they had struggled to make their relationship work, but wanted to remain friends.

An insider told Manchester Evening News at the time: "Faye and Gareth are both extremely sad about their relationship ending.

"They still care very much about each other and want to remain friends, but the wedding has been called off.

"They tried to make it work but sadly it's not meant to be."

Faye recently supported Love Island's Paige Thorn's Forever Unique launch party this week.
