Ex-boxing champ Ricky Hatton steps out in Hyde with Dancing on Ice co-star Claire Sweeney

Ricky Hatton has reportedly been spotted "cosying up" to Dancing on Ice co-star, Claire Sweeney, on a night out in Hyde at the weekend.

The former professional boxer, 45, and Coronation Street star, 52, were spotted arm in arm on a pub crawl in Ricky's hometown on Saturday, the Daily Mail reports.

It was also reported that sportsman Ricky later wrapped his jacket around Claire to keep her warm before heading home.

On ITV's Dancing on Ice, Ricky left in week one followed two weeks later by Claire.

A source told The Sun: "They became friends on Dancing On Ice and really hit it off. It’s since become romantic and they’ve enjoyed a few dates. It’s early days but they’ve got a spark and have been having a great time."

According to another source, the pair have been on a number of dates and Ricky is "completely besotted".
