Claire Sweeney has revealed that she and boyfriend Ricky Hatton bonded over Only Fools And Horses as she discussed their relationship for the first time. 

The Coronation Street actress, 53, and the former boxer, 45, have gone from strength to strength in recent months after they both starred on last year's Dancing On Ice. 

Joining Lorraine Kelly on her daytime ITV show on Thursday, Claire opened up about their romance and how it finally blossomed after knowing each other for 25 years.

She smiled: 'I've known Ricky for like 25 years and always passed each other at events. 

'I first met him in La Manga in the early 2000's, then we did Dance for Comic Relief together 2013, and then we met on Dancing on Ice and it's great.'

She added: 'He makes me laugh and we both like Only Fools and Horses, so what's not to like!'

Ricky gave an insight into his five month relationship with Claire in a new interview on Tuesday. 

In an exclusive interview with Prime Casino, Ricky said: 'I didn't go on Dancing on Ice to find romance, I just went in hoping I wouldn't break my f*****g neck.

'I've known Claire for a while. I've met her at a few functions and at different events over the years. Every time we've spoken we've hit it off and got on with each other. 

'We ended up both training in Altrincham, Claire's on Coronation Street and she's from Liverpool, so we used to train at the same time together. 

'We got on straight away while we were training for the ice skating. And then when we travelled down to London where the show actually took place we got on even better.' 

Ricky said he knew he had 'half a chance' at wooing Claire because they had got on so well when he had spoken to her in the past. 

'I always knew when I turned up and saw she was going on the ice that she was single and I knew I was single,' he said. 




She explained: 'He makes me laugh and we both like Only Fools and Horses, so what's not to like!' Pictured: Del Boy Trotter (David Jason), Rodney Trotter (Nicholas Lyndhurst) and Edward 'Grandad' Trotter (Lennard Pearce)

'I knew how we had got on so well every time we met each other. I probably thought I had half a chance.

Ricky added: 'It's amazing [to find] someone you've probably known for 25 years. I've been in relationships and she's been in relationships. I've had my kids and she's had her kids. And then 25 years later we found each other. It's quite a nice story.'

On Dancing On Ice, Ricky was paired with female skater Robin Johnstone and was sadly the first to be eliminated.

Claire was partnered with male skater Colin Grafton and followed Ricky just two weeks later, the third celebrity eliminated. However, it wasn't all bad news as Ricky had already began pursuing her.

When asked if Ricky would try his hand at another reality competition, he replied: 'I'll certainly have another look at a show like Dancing On Ice.

'Even though I'm retired, I'm keeping myself busy and that's what I've done over the last two years. If there was another show, I would definitely have a look because even though I was out in the first round I enjoyed it."'

Prior to Ricky, Claire hadn't been on a date since Christmas 2023 and joked she may be following in her grandmother's footsteps - Claire alleges she didn't find love until she was 86.

Claire's last long-term romance was with Daniel Reilly, with whom she shares son Jaxon, eight. The pair split in 2017. 

In his early 20s, Ricky had a brief relationship with a woman known only as Claire, who went on to have his boxer son, Campbell Hatton - born on January 9, 2001. 

Ricky had his longest relationship with Jennifer Dooley, from 2005 to 2016.

Jennifer was there for some of the highest points of his career, seeing him win or retain multiple world titles as well as being there for the presentation of his MBE in 2007's New Year Honours.

Ricky proposed to her on Valentine's Day of 2009. 

He fatefully named the couple's Cheshire house the 'Heartbreak Hotel' after Elvis Presley's hit track. 

In 2010, Irish boxing champion Emma Bowe told the Mirror of how she had been having an 11-month affair with the boxer after getting his autograph in Dublin.

A rocky period between Jennifer and Hatton after the fighter's retirement in 2012 included him moving in and out of their £3 million home a number of times.

A December 2013 holiday bust-up led to Ricky moving out and after moving back in again months later, in June 2014, he moved out for a second time after going AWOL during a boozy trip to Lanzarote.

But their turbulent year was put behind them in the New Year when they went on holiday to Tenerife with their two daughters, Millie, 11, and Fearne, 10.

In 2016, however, another string of drink-fuelled nights out for Ricky put a final end to his and Jennifer's 11-year relationship, after he was pictured looking worse for wear partying with other girls in his arms. 

He said of Jennifer: 'It's very upsetting when you've been in such a long-term relationship and it comes to an end.

'I can't deny there are times I have found things difficult.'
