The 'Coronation Street' actress has confirmed she is dating her personal trainer - who she was previously linked to in 2013 - and is hoping their relationship will stand the test of time following her split from fiance Dan Hooper earlier this year.
She said: "I've got some great news - Matt Baker and I have started dating.
"We've known each other for three years, we both have mutual friends and we've been training together in recent months - it's just been a natural progression.
"I know people speculated a while back but we weren't actually together then, but now things have changed slightly.
"It's second time lucky for us. The first time around it didn't work out as I wasn't ready as it was so soon after my marriage to Jamie [Lomas] ended.
"However, we're both feeling really good about it this time around."
The 39-year-old actress isn't worried about the 13-year age gap between herself and Matt and thinks they are good for one another.
She wrote in her column for OK! magazine: "We've been positives in each other's lives - Matt's a very good influence on me and vice versa, and we care about each other a lot.
"We are taking things slowly and seeing how it goes.
"I know there's a 13-year age gap, but I've got to say, Matthew may be younger but he's actually ore mature than me so the age gap isn't a problem."
