Former Coronation Street star Katie McGlynn has confirmed her romance with a TOWIE legend.
The pair were spotted together recently, and Katie, 30, took to Instagram on Valentine’s Day to share a series of snaps with Ricky Rayment, 33, captioning it: “Every day is like Valentine’s Day with you.” The photos showed the couple sharing a kiss, posing in a swimming pool, standing together at an event, and sitting in what looked like a restaurant.
This comes after they were seen kissing in Essex over the weekend. They seemed to be enjoying their shopping trip, as photos shared by The Sun revealed.

A source told the outlet that Katie and Ricky “very much looked like” a couple. They were seen holding hands, laughing, and even sharing a “little kiss”.
The source speculated that Ricky might have bought Katie an early Valentine’s gift from Hotel Chocolat, as he was seen carrying a bag from the store. The insider added that the pair “looked really happy together”.
Reports suggest that the couple met in early October and have grown close since. A source disclosed: “Katie and Ricky are really loved up. They’ve been careful to keep things low key while they got to know each other. But they’ve got to the point where they don’t care who sees them anymore.”
Ricky was a regular face on TOWIE from 2012 to 2015, linked romantically to co-star Jess Wright and Geordie Shore’s Marnie Simpson. Meanwhile, Katie is especially known for her role as Sinead Tinker on Coronation Street, a character she played between 2013 and 2020. This role saw Sinead undergo a cancer diagnosis storyline.
After departing Corrie, Katie competed on BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing in 2021 and has also featured on popular shows like Waterloo Road and Hollyoaks. It’s believed that she previously dated Benji Roberts from around 2017 to 2020.
