ITV Corrie star Georgia Taylor responds to romance as she posts string of 'loved-up' snaps with former co-star Charlie De Melo

Coronation Street star Georgia Taylor has responded to questions after she posted a string of sweet snaps of herself alongside former co-star Charlie De Melo after enjoying a trip to Edinburgh together. The actress, who plays Toyah Habeeb in the ITV soap, decided to spend her 43rd birthday outdoors as she headed up to Arthur's Seat during a trip to the Scottish city.

And she wasn't alone as she was joined on the celebratory city break by Charlie, who fans will probably best know for playing her late husband, Imran Habeeb, in the Salford-based long-running soap. The pair, who are rumoured to be in a relationship, got fans talking earlier this week when Georgia posted a selfie of the pair together.

Georgia first posted a picture of the scenic view of the city from the top of the ancient volcano which is the main peak of the group of hills in Edinburgh. Meanwhile, a second image showed both Georgia and Charlie posing for a selfie. The Wigan-born soap star cosied up in a teal-coloured beanie hat and patchwork scarf while she sported a khaki-coloured coat and a pair of tortoiseshell sunglasses. Meanwhile, Charlie, who left Corrie last year as Imran after he died following a car accident caused by Toyah, sported a black coat as he grinned towards the camera.

Georgia then took to her Instagram Story with another snap of her and Charlie. The new selfie showed the pair smiling for the camera having appeared to be celebrating Georgia's special day. Charlie looked dapper in a red waistcoat which he sported with a gold-coloured tie while Georgia donned a black dress with her blonde locks kept in a casual short style.

And it appears Gearogia wanted to share another look into their trip as she posted two more strings of images to Instagram. In one snap, Georgia and Charlie posed together with Edinburgh Castle sitting in the background while another showed Georgia tucking into a local delicacy.

"Birthday weekend. An ancient volcano, a castle, many, many, many steps, deep-fried confectionery and a very fine mustachioed gentleman," she captioned the post. And fans were loving it, and also surprised that the pair appeared to be an item. @charlotte.taylor1994 quipped: "Does he let you drive?" before adding: "Very happy for you both, you make a lovely couple. Happy Birthday!" to which Georgia confirmed: "He drove…"

Responding to another bunch of touristy shots, @gleekbyheart said: "I swear if you and Charlie aren’t dating ima be sad." But Georgia kept tight lipped, only sharing the eyes emoji.

But again, fans were loving it. @jules_hieatt said: "You’re gorgeous together." @boowinsall wrote: "Good looking couple, lovely photos." @bexmassey commented: "Ahh you both look so happy." @talbonview echoed: "You both look beautiful and happy." @becky_x_kelly added: "Oh wow… I didn’t know this. What a beautiful couple."

Charlie left Corrie back in June after almost five years of playing Imran. The character's exit came as Imran and Toyah battled Abi Webster for custody of baby Alfie. After Toyah found Imran at the police station, the pair jumped in the car and as they chatted, viewers suddenly saw newlyweds Imran and Toyah slumped unconscious in the wreckage of their car and immediately had questions about what had happened and who - if either of them - would survive.

Imran was then seen battling to get his car door open before wincing through the pain to grab his phone out of his pocket and call an ambulance. He begged them to hurry as his wife was unconscious and bits of the scaffolding continued to fall. But then in a heartbreaking twist of fate, it was Imran who ended up succumbing to his injuries.

After dragging Toyah to safety and staying by her side while she was placed in the back of an ambulance, the solicitor suddenly collapsed and died of a cardiac arrest on the scene. Toyah then faced a court case accused of purposely ploughing the car into the building but was eventually found not guilty of Imran’s murder despite previously admitting that she had killed Imran on purpose.
