Manchester Boxing legend Ricky Hatton and new girlfriend, former Corrie star Claire Sweeney, have been cosying up as they holiday together in Tenerife.
And he is already sharing one of his big passions in life with her, by taking her to the pub to watch his beloved Manchester City in action.
Ricky and Claire met while filming Dancing on Ice last year and have been spotted on a series of dates over the past month or so. Late last month they stepped out on the Red Carpet for the first time at a gig by Ricky Astley to launch beleaguered music venue Co-op Live.

And they appear to be going from strength to strength as Ricky posted pictures of them together on holiday on the Canary Island where he is a regular visitor.
Ricky, 45, posted snaps on his Instagram of him and Claire, 53, leaning in as they enjoyed a romantic dinner, as well as a group picture with the staff where he said they had had 'a great evening and food.'
Massive City fan Ricky earlier posted a snap of them in a bar in the resort of Los Cristianos where they watched the Premier League title chasers 5-1 over Wolves with pals dressed in City t-shirts. In a post accompanying the snap he said: "Great day with me besties. Great win for the Blues as well."
Rumours of the pair's romance first emerged early last month. They were then spotted leaving a pub in his hometown of Hyde, Tameside, together.
They were seen leaving their first boozer with friends at around 6pm, with Ricky carrying bottles of Veuve Clicquot champagne. The pair were later spotted arm in arm arriving at another nearby pub at about 11pm, with their arms around one another.
