Dawn Ward’s daughter Taylor goes Instagram official with Man City footballer Riyad Mahrez

The Real Housewives of Cheshire star Dawn Ward's daughter Taylor has gone Instagram official with Manchester City star Riyad Mahrez.

Taylor shared a photo of herself cuddling up to the 29-year-old footballer.

Taylor, 22, and her man are smiling widely and holding hands in the cute snap posted on her Instagram account with more than 600,000 followers.

Taylor, who appears in the hit ITVBe reality show alongside her mum, is clearly smitten with her man.

She captioned the post 'Me & U,' alongside a heart emoji.

And the winger replied "Always" with two love hearts.

The compliments came flooding in for the pair with one follower commenting: "This is just the bestest!!!!! Couple goals."

And Dawn's Real Housewives co-star Rachel Lugo posted a stream of love heart-eyes emojis.

Taylor has an older sister Darby, 24, who is getting married to entrepreneur Michael Corrado Jackson next year.

And she has two younger sisters Charlie, 13, and Aston, 11.

Her father is former footballer Ashley Ward, who played for Manchester City from 1989 to 1991.

This summer Ashley and Dawn, one of the original stars of the docudrama which launched in 2015, celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary at the family home, Warford Hall in Cheshire.

In 2016 Taylor dated model Sam Reece, who was previously in a relationship with former Hollyoaks actress Stephanie Davis until she went into the Celebrity Big Brother house.

The following year he made a surprise appearance on the Real Housewives of Cheshire at a casting for Forever Unique boss Seema Malhotra.

His relationship with Taylor didn't work out but Dawn leapt up to give Sam a hug when she spied him at the auditions.

Last year Taylor broke her silence following mounting speculation over whether she’d had a boob job.

The Real Housewives of Cheshire star’s second child posted a picture on Instagram in a lacy underwear set and addressed the rumours head on.

Taylor revealed she had indeed had surgery back was delighted with the results.

She said: "It was something I thought about for a long time and did it for my own insecurities.

“It’s not for everyone and I’m not encouraging surgery, but I am so happy with the outcome, I thought about it for over a year and did a lot of research into who to use."
