Gareth Gates sparks romance rumours as he steps out with his panto leading lady

Panto season is over but the friendship between Gareth Gates’ Prince Charming and his Cinderella seems to be blossoming.

Gareth, 35, and his former leading lady Hannah Grace Lawson were spotted smiling and laughing in London’s Chinatown after watching The Book of Mormon at a West End theatre.

Gareth split up with his fiancée and former Corrie star Faye Brooks, 31, last year after seven years of dating. She has moved on with her personal trainer.

Ex-Pop Idol star Gareth was married to actress Suzanne Mole, with whom he has a daughter Missy, but they called time on their marriage after three years in 2011.

Bradford-born Gareth has starred in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and Legally Blonde, while ex-musical theatre student Hannah has enjoyed success in Les Miserables.

Judging by these pictures Gareth could be a real Prince Charming. Just get her home before midnight, in case your ride home turns into a pumpkin.

Last year Gareth got fans talking as some of them reckoned he was dating his sister's best mate.

But the singer hit back at the claims after he and Catherine Franks were spotted walking arm-in-arm on a night out.

The 35 year-old insisted that Catherine's been "a family friend for years".

Gareth and Catherine were walking with arms interlocked outside Leeds club The Dollhouse, before heading to Revolution.

Later, they caught a taxi together.

Following his split from fiancee Faye Brooks in August, Gareth dished to fans that he was on the look out for "unconditional love."
