Hollyoaks stars Anya Lawrence and Lewis Walton have confirmed they are dating in real life, sharing holiday snaps on Instagram on Tuesday evening. The actors, who play Vicky Grant and newcomer Caleb Keane respectively, posted a carousel of images from their getaway.
Social Media Reveal
Anya Lawrence shared the photos with the caption: 'Last few weeks in a few different places.' The reel included pictures of the actors in exotic locations, including Lewis taking a dip in the crystal blue sea. The most telling post was an intimate selfie of the couple posing in front of a mirror, with only the bottom half of their faces visible, as Lewis placed a hand on Anya's thigh.
The post sparked excitement in the comments, with fellow co-stars congratulating them. Jennifer Metcalfe, who plays Mercedes McQueen, wrote: 'Ohhhh,' with a red heart eyes emoji. Nadine Mulkerrin commented: 'You young sexy people!!' Isabelle Smith, who plays Lewis' character's onscreen love interest Frankie Osborne, said: 'Jaw to the floor,' while Tisha Merry, who plays Vicky Grant's half-sister Gemma Johnson, added a flame emoji.
On-Screen Tension
While the couple's real-life romance blossoms, their characters are caught in a complicated love triangle. Vicky misread an intimate moment between them and leaned in for a kiss, but Caleb rejected the advance and made things official with Frankie. The lingering sexual tension between Caleb and Vicky could threaten their friendship group.
Anya Lawrence joined Hollyoaks in 2022 as Scott Drinkwell's foster daughter. Lewis Walton made his onscreen debut in April this year as part of the new Keane family, involved in a car crash with life-changing consequences.
