The glittering world of showbiz has a new power couple, and they are smitten. Coronation Street actress Claire Sweeney and boxing icon Ricky Hatton have jetted off on a sun-drenched Spanish holiday, with Sweeney gushing that their romantic escape was nothing short of 'perfect'.
The pair, whose relationship has been the talk of the town, seemed utterly inseparable during their break, sharing loved-up photos that sent fans into a frenzy. The getaway marks a significant step forward for the couple, who have been quietly dating for several months.
Sun, Sea, and Romance in Spain
Claire, 52, couldn't contain her happiness as she detailed their idyllic time away. From leisurely days soaking up the Spanish sun to intimate dinners, the trip was a world away from the hustle of their high-profile careers. The Brookside alum described the holiday as a chance to properly connect away from the public eye, solidifying their bond.
'It was just perfect,' she beamed in a recent interview, hinting at the deep connection they share. The photos from their trip tell a story of genuine joy and relaxation, a testament to their growing affection.

With their relationship going from strength to strength, speculation is mounting about what the future holds. Claire has openly expressed her admiration for Ricky, and the feeling appears to be entirely mutual.
While they are keeping some details private, Sweeney's declaration of a 'perfect' holiday suggests this is more than a fleeting fling. Fans of both stars are eagerly watching, hoping this is the start of a lasting love story for the beloved celebrities.
