Coming up next on today's episode of Lorraine, we have the lovely Claire Sweeney joining us to chat about her blossoming new relationship with ex-professional boxer, Ricky Hatton. The talented actress, known for her role as Cassie Plummer, couldn't help but gush about her new beau as she shared some sweet details about their romance.
It all started back in April of this year when the two were spotted on a romantic date, with pictures showing them looking completely smitten with their arms wrapped around each other. As Lorraine brought up the topic, Claire couldn't resist smiling as she revealed, "You know, sometimes love finds you when you least expect it."
As she continued to share their love story, it became clear that these two have known each other for quite some time. "We actually go way back, about 25 years or so. We would always bump into each other at events," Claire explained. And it seems like fate finally brought them together as they crossed paths again while working on Dancing on Ice earlier this year.
"He just has this way of making me laugh, and that's what I love about him," she added, beaming with happiness. "We've always had a great connection, we met in La Manga in the early 2000s, then we did Dance for Comic Relief in 2013, and now we've reunited on Dancing on Ice. And let me tell you, he's a big fan of Only Fools and Horses, so it's safe to say we have a lot in common."
Speaking of making each other laugh, Claire shared a heartwarming moment from their recent holiday in Tenerife, where they both couldn't stop smiling in a cute selfie. "We had such a great time, it was so much fun. #goodtimes @rickyhitmanhatton," she captioned the post. Fans were quick to send their love, with former Dancing on Ice star Adele Roberts leaving a string of heart emojis and @pearcey225 expressing their happiness for the couple.
Before finding love with Ricky, Claire had openly talked about her desire to find someone who would make her laugh and be kind. In an interview on The Mirror's Invite Only podcast, she shared, "I just want to find someone who I click with, someone who's kind and can make me laugh. It's not just about looks, although there has to be some initial attraction. I want something deeper and more meaningful."
Well, it seems like Claire has found exactly what she was looking for in Ricky Hatton, and we couldn't be happier for the adorable couple. Stay tuned for more updates on their beautiful relationship, and don't forget to tune in to Lorraine for more heartwarming stories.
