Love was in the air as Coronation star Rob Mallard joined real life couple Joe Duttine (Tim Metcalfe) and Sally Carman (Abi Webster) during the opening night of the UK tour premiere of Hamilton at Manchester’s Palace Theatre.
The Daniel Osbourne actor, 31, recently went Instagram official with his new man, modelling agent Matthew Martin.
And the pair posed for the carpet on what was a star-studded evening.
Real life couple Joe and Sally were joined by Sally Dynevor and her daughter Hattie.
Former Strictly Come Dancing star and TV personality Les Dennis was also in attendance.
Romance rumours around new couple Rob and Matthew started circulating earlier this year and more precisely in March.
Confirmation of the relationship follows after Rob’s co-star ex Daniel Brocklebank (aka Billy Mayhew in the Manchester-based drama) showed off his own new partner.
Rob and Daniel dated in 2017 but, unable to cope with the pressure of working on Corrie and their routine off-screen, the couple parted ways while remaining great friends.
A source previously told The Sun: ‘It was a lot of pressure for both of them to be working on the same show and going out in the end something had to give. They decided to part ways a couple of weeks ago but they’re still great friends and hope to remain that way.’
Over in Coronation Street, things are going to get pretty interesting for Rob’s character as his ex Bethany Platt (Lucy Fallon) returns.
Show boss Iain MacLeod teased that Bethany and Daisy Midgeley (Charlotte Jordan) will have an almighty clash, butting heads due to their feelings for Daniel.
