By Hanna Flint

Kym Marsh is reportedly dating personal trainer Dan Hooper, the ex-boyfriend of Hollyoaks actress Stephanie Waring.

The Coronation Street star posted a Twitter picture of herself with Dan on a night out a few weeks after she split from her 24-year old personal trainer boyfriend Matt Baker.

'They've grown close in recent weeks,' a source close to Kym, 37, told the Daily Mirror.

'They have been on two dates and are looking forward to spending more time together. But it is early days.'

Dan and Stephanie, 36 – who plays Cindy Cunningham on Hollyoaks - were together for five years and have a three-year old daughter together, but the couple split up in January.

Kym's divorce from fellow actor Jamie Lomas was finalised the same month, so she is free and single to date, but the news that she is dating Dan has reportedly hit Stephanie hard.

'She is gutted,' a source told the Mirror. 'Stephanie is heartbroken when Dan ended their relationship and thought they may get back together.

'She was hoping to announce and engagement. Now, to learn he has moved on so swiftly – it has hit her hard.'

Despite Stephanie's supposed heartbreak, the source claims that Dan and Kym believe they are doing nothing wrong.

And Marsh seemed to dismiss the stories of her alleged relationship with Hooper on Twitter, writing late on Friday night 'What a crock of s**t!' 

In January, it was reported that Kym had an affair with her former Coronation Street co-star, Oliver Mellor ,while she was still married to her now ex-husband.

Mellor says that he thought that he and Marsh were in love, but when the actor eventually called time on the relationship, he claims Kym was upset that it was coming to an end, but also sad about being caught between her love for Oliver, and the love for her family.

Representative for Kym and Stephanie have declined to comment.

On Friday night, Kym – who plays Michelle in the ITV soap – was out on the town in Manchester for her co-star Michelle Keegan's leaving party.
