The former 'Coronation Street' star is said to have struck up a relationship with the 60-year-old actor - who portrayed bent copper DCS Lester Hargreaves in the BBC police procedural drama - and the pair are thought to have been dating "for some time".

A source told The Sun newspaper: "Katherine and Tony have been dating for some time. It is well known among their family and friends.

"They have kept their relationship out of the spotlight but have attended a number of events together this year including Royal Ascot and the ITV Palooza earlier this month."

The couple went public on the red carpet at the Dancing with Heroes ball at the Landmark Hotel in London on Sunday night (27.11.22), and are said to have met each other's families.

The source added: "At the Dancing with Heroes ball Kelly couldn’t keep her hands off Tony and was stroking the back of his head all evening.

"They have met one another’s families and went on holiday together with their respective children earlier this year.

"Katherine is incredibly happy with Tony and it’s clear they are a really good match."

In August 2020, Katherine confirmed she had split from her husband Ryan Clark, with whom she shares daughters Orla, eight, and Rose, five,

A spokesman said at the time: "Katherine and Ryan have made the difficult decision to separate.

"They see it as a positive move for both of them and the separation is completely amicable.

"Their children are their top priority and they will continue to co-parent as good friends."
