Corrie's Katie McGlynn and TOWIE's Ricky Rayment – 'happiest we've ever been'

They are a couple with so much in common it feels almost inevitable they would find each other and fall in love.

“We’d both spent most of our adult lives being single; I think we preferred to be alone rather than with someone who wasn’t right - but it’s definitely been worth the wait!” explained the Littleborough born star who also took to the Strictly floor in 2021. Ricky: I saw Katie on board and thought ‘wow’. I first became aware of her years ago, when she was doing those incredible final scenes in Corrie when her character had cancer. I thought then she was amazing. I followed her on Twitter but I never had the courage to post or message her and then four years on there she was!

I think where we both were four years ago, we wouldn’t have been ready for each other - we had different things going on in our lives, different career paths. But meeting on that cruise was just the most perfect timing. I live a normal life - I love being outdoors, I love peace and quiet. People see the glitz and the glamour but that’s just work. Ricky gets that.

Ricky: Katie was in the panto Cinderella in Malvern and I travelled regularly to see her. I watched that show a lot!Ricky: I’ve actually played Prince Charming in panto! See - it’s Fate! We have spoken about moving in together. It’s maybe still a little bit early but it feels as if there is an inevitability about it.Katie: Yes. I've always really tried to keep my love life private where possible. I don't like spilling my beans out in front of everybody. I’m an actress.

Ricky: We both would rather be single than settle for someone who's not right. It feels a bit weird - and absolutely brilliant - to finally meet the right person.I still get recognised and I still get messages all the time about the cervical cancer storyline Sinead went through. But that’s why I wanted to do that story - to make an impact.

I am still glad I left - it allowed me to do a lot of other opportunities across TV and theatre. I love not knowing what's happening next and being spontaneous - Ricky and I are both like that.Katie: Gorka and I are still in touch and check in on each other. We have hectic schedules, though, so we don’t get to see too much of each other but he’s always been very supportive of my career and vice versa.
