Pride of Manchester Awards: Kym Marsh's ex Jamie Lomas walks red carpet with new girlfriend

Kym Marsh 's ex-husband Jamie Lomas has made his red carpet debut with his new girlfriend.

The 46-year-old actor, best known for playing Warren Fox on Channel 4 ’s Hollyoaks, arrived at the Pride of Manchester Awards on Tuesday and officially made his romance with Jess Bell public.

Jess is a Salford-based dentist, and met Jamie through friends last year, according to reports, and have now confirmed their romance with a sweet appearance on the red carpet.

The couple looked loved-up as they arrived at the bash, and Jess looked stunning in a nude-coloured skintight dress, teamed with teal heels and a matching bag, with her hair slicked back into a chic bun.

Jamie rocked a more dapper look for the ceremony, wearing a checked three-piece suit, finished off with a mustard coloured tie, and pocket square.

The actor was keen to show off his new girlfriend, despite arriving at the Pride of Manchester awards just minutes after ex-wife Kym Marsh, who is hosting the event.

Jamie tied the knot with the former Coronation Street star in 2012, but the couple, who share daughter Polly, split in 2014 after just two years of marriage.

They also had a baby boy named Archie, who was sadly stillborn in 2009.

The TV star was later involved in a relationship with Portia Hughes, but they parted ways in 2019, and Jamie has been single since meeting Jess last year.

According to The Sun, they were “growing close” for a few months, and although it was early days, they “seem to be totally loved up.

Jamie and Kym remained on good terms following their split, and he was also invited to his ex-wife’s leaving party when she departed Corrie in 2019.

Back in 2017, the actress spoke about her relationship with Jamie following their split, and told the Mirror there were “no bad feelings”.

“We have a very good relationship, Jamie and I. Polly has a good relationship with her dad...We have nothing bad to say about each other,” she insisted.

Kym has since found love with Scott Ratcliffe, and the pair tied the knot in October after three years of dating.
