Ryan Thomas has shared a cryptic post after he was seen cuddling EastEnders star Zaraah Abrahams at the recent National Television Awards.
The former Coronation Street actor, who is engaged to reality telly star Lucy Mecklenburgh, burrowed his face into Zarrah's neck outside the glitzy event.
Ryan, 38, was seen wrapping his arms around the former Waterloo Road actress who is currently starring in BBC's EastEnders, with onlookers claiming they were sharing an "affectionate cuddle" and were "caught up" in the moment.
Now, Ryan has taken to his social media account following the incident as he shared a romantic clip from Luther Vandross' hit song, Never Too Much.
In view of his 1.1million Instagram followers, the Jason Grimshaw star shared a clipping of the song which included the lyrics: "I don't want nobody else to ever love me".
Captioning his reposting of the video, Ryan penned: "They don't make them like this anymore."
Since the incident, Ryan and Lucy appeared to be unbothered by the snaps obtained by The Sun, with a spokesperson confirming Ryan and Zaraah, who plays Chelsea Fox in EastEnders, are just good friends.
Following the pictures coming to light, Lucy shared a string of uploads to her Instagram Stories featuring her husband as they enjoyed a day out.
Lucy had been celebrating their youngest child sleeping through the night as she shared a snap of the pair while declaring: "11pm - 5am I feel like a new woman haha."
The reality star and her husband-to-be Ryan were later seen beaming as they walked alongside one another with their youngster in a pram before bumping into Ryan's former co-star, Chris Fountain.
In recent weeks, Ryan has had a rather turbulent time after his son Roman was rushed to hospital as doctors investigated a serious health issue with the tot.
The little one was found blue in his cot by a terrified Lucy a year ago, so the doting parents never take any chances, with Ryan admitting they had been in the same situation "many times".
He told his followers: "We spent 24 hours in hospital away from home - but wanted to say a massive thank you to all the doctors and nurses at The Cumberland Infirmary for the hard work and dedication in making sure we get the best care possible.
"Me and my boy are home safe because of you. We are truly grateful."
Since his horror health scare last year, the tot has needed daily medication and an inhaler to help him breathe properly.
The youngster has also been having regular check-ups to monitor his progress and was diagnosed with a 'viral induced wheeze' earlier this year.
