‘Coronation Street’ Actor Shayne Ward ‘Dating ‘Hollyoaks’ Star Sophie Austin’

Popstar-turned-actor Shayne Ward has found love with fellow soapstar Sophie Austin, according to reports.

The news come following Sophie’s recent split from her husband of nine months, Graeme Rooney.

A source explains to the Mirror: “They’ve always got on well but haven’t been single at the same time before.

"Sophie was married for a short time but things haven’t worked out.

“Of course he completely respected her relationship and remained a perfect gentleman.

"It was only after her marriage was definitely over they became anything more than just friends.

“They went on a couple of dates after catching up through mutual friends. They’ve kept it low key so far.”

The paper adds that the 'Corrie' actor has attended a number of events with Sophie, though they are yet to make a joint red carpet appearance.

Shayne joined ‘Coronation Street’ in mid-2015, and so far, he’s been a huge hit with fans.

Meanwhile, Sophie has played the murderous Lindsay Roscoe in ‘Hollyoaks’ since 2013.
