Here's to turning 40, well for me anyway... one more year for you, Anthony." The couple looked absolutely smitten in the photos, and fans couldn't help but gush over their sweet romance.
Rumors about the couple's relationship first sparked due to their shared passion for fitness, with a source revealing to The Sun, "Nikki and Anthony go to the same gym and are really into fitness, so they bonded over that. Nikki has been having a tough time lately, and Anthony has been a great support for her." However, Anthony was quick to set the record straight, revealing that they have known each other for years and that he "slid into her DMs" to ask her out on a date.
The pair have both had successful careers in the soap world, with Anthony starring in Emmerdale and Hollyoaks, and Nikki making a name for herself in Hollyoaks and Coronation Street. Anthony had always admired Nikki's talent and beauty, confessing, "I've always fancied her. She's mega hot, right? We've known each other for years. There were rumors we met at the gym, which we had a bit of a laugh about. I slid into her DMs and that was it. I was lucky enough to get a date and the rest is history."
Nikki, who has been portraying the character of Maxine Minniver on Hollyoaks since 2012, and previously played Candice Stowe on Coronation Street for six years, is a beloved icon in the soap world. Fans were thrilled to see her enjoying her birthday and couldn't help but speculate about her possible return from the dead on Hollyoaks, thanks to a major clue from her co-star.
In the meantime, viewers can catch Nikki's co-star Freddie Roscoe, played by Anthony, making a surprise appearance on Hollyoaks. This unexpected reunion with an old friend from the past is sure to bring some excitement and drama to the show, and fans are eagerly waiting to see how it all unfolds.
