Hollyoaks star Nikki Sanderson is enjoying her romance with boyfriend Anthony Quinlan and feeling "very lucky" to be with the former soap star.
The Channel 4 star, 38, and Anthony, 38, recently publicly confirmed their relationship - after months of speculation - and while both have pledged to keep things relatively private, Nikki still shared a couple of sweet sentiments about the former Emmerdale actor at the Pride of Manchester Awards on Tuesday night.
Speaking exclusively with the Mirror on the red carpet outside Kimpton Clocktower Hotel in Manchester, Nikki gushed about her beloved hometown and how proud she was to be at the prestigious awards show to see "wonderful people acknowledged" throughout the evening.
