Coronation Street's Daniel Brocklebank snapped with new 'fella' after co-star split as cast out in force at festival

Coronation Street star Daniel Brocklebank has been snapped with his new 'fella' after enjoying a night out with his co-stars. The actor, who plays Billy Mayhew in the ITV soap, enjoyed seeing Lionel Ritchie on stage at Lytham Festival with a number of his castmates.

Former EastEnders actress Cheryl Fergison was also in attendance and was the one to seemingly confirm Dan's new relationship as she shared a selfie of herself with the Corrie star and police officer and musician Jordan Coulthard on Instagram.

Cheryl captioned the post: "Met some Corrie pals, @tonymaudsley1 @danielbrocklebank and his fella @_coulthard what an eve x.” Jordan also shared some images of himself with Daniel's co-stars on the social media platform.

And Jordan appeared to be making friends with his new partner's soap pals as he shared one photo of him alongside Samia Longchambon who plays Maria Windass, saying: "sorted your fringe out a few times love @samia_longchambon." With the actress replying to say: "You did a great job #fringewatch" with a series of emojis including a laughing one and a red heart.

Dan has since taken to Instagram himself, sharing a snap of himself without Jordan but with Samia, who was also joined by her husband Sylvain Longchambon at the musical event, Tony Maudsley, Tanisha Gorey and James Craven, who actually recently excited the soap as Aaron Sandford.

"What a gorgeous day out! Thank you #lythamfestival," he captioned the snap which was soon being flooded with comments. Samia shared a red heart and replied: "Great night!" @emily.s.1989 said: "Love this picture. Hope you all had a fabulous time."

Jodie Prenger, who joined Corrie last year as Glenda Shuttleworth, was also out enjoying the fun and shared her own snaps to Instagram featuring her co-stars. "Well….that was A LOT of fun @lythamfestival @lionelrichie," she said alongside the beaming, sun-soaked snaps and clips from their soapy night out.

Dan's reported new romance comes a number of years after he split from one of his Corrie co-stars. The actor made headlines when he started dating fellow Corrie actor Rob Mallard, who played Ken Barlow's son, Daniel Osbourne- for a couple of months. The pair seemed very much smitten with Rob saying Dan was "the best thing I've taken home this year" when he picked up an award at the British Soap Awards in 2017.

But just two months after that public declaration the pair split with sources citing the reason as being the pressure of working together while maintaining a romantic relationship.
