Kym Marsh was seen out for the first time with her new boyfriend on Saturday as the loved-up couple enjoyed a day out in Bakewell.
Her new union comes eight months after she ended her whirlwind romance with Samuel Thomas, who is 19 years her junior, in February after six months together.
The actress, 49, identified her man, Tom, when she shared a series of photos to her Instagram last week – confirming their romance and tagging his account.
Heading out this weekend, they walked hand-in-hand through the Derbyshire town after picking up some shopping.
Kym dressed casually in a cream tracksuit which consisted of a cropped hoodie and wide leg trousers.
She went makeup free for their day out and pulled her hair back into a practical bun.

Earlier this month, Kym posted loved-up snaps with Tom, after it was revealed she had joined dating app Hinge earlier this year following the Samuel split.
Last week, she took to Instagram stories to share an image posted by Tom, in which the duo enjoyed a steamy smooch with the camera in selfie mode.
Tom’s Instagram handle is @tom_dicko_ and his bio on the site lists an array of challenges he has completed, including The Welsh 3000s Challenge – a mission to climb all 15 of the mountains over 3000 ft in Wales within the space of 24 hours.
The couple are said to have met through friends and Kym has been intermittently sharing images with Tom – but only identified him in the latest post.
Earlier this month, a source told The Sun: ‘They have already enjoyed a night away together and he’s met her daughter Emilie, so things are moving fast.
‘He’s also been on nights out with her pals and was the centre of attention, which is no surprise because he’s so hunky. Kym always throws herself fully into everything – including relationships.’
It was reported last month that Kym was back on the dating scene, with the star reportedly joined up to dating app Hinge and giving strict instructions to the next man that enters her life.
On her profile, Kym highlighted that her future lover needs to make her ‘laugh until her ribs heart’ to be in with a chance.

Kym ended her romance with ex Samuel before Christmas, after the pair finished touring with the show 101 Dalmatians: The Musical (pictured toether)
According to The Sun at the time, Kym described herself as an ‘actor and presenter’ who loves to ‘lie-in, go on dog walks and have roast dinners’ on her ideal Sunday.
She also showed off her humorous side and joked dating her is like ‘being on the Truman Show, but it’s never boring!’
Her dating profile includes pictures of her cuddling two dogs and pouting for the camera, the publication reports.
Kym ended her romance with ex Samuel before Christmas, after the pair finished touring with the show 101 Dalmatians: The Musical.
She was forced to defend herself after revealing her romance with Samuel, who is the same age as her oldest son, having gushed on social media that he is her ‘soulmate.’
Amid her break-up, sources told The Sun at the time that once their tour finished, Kym found it more difficult to spend time with him.
Kym shares her son David, 30, and daughter actress Emilie, 28, with her ex David Cunliffe.
Kym is also mother to 14-year-old daughter Poppy whom she shares with ex-husband and Hollyoaks star Jamie Lomas, as well son Archie who was born 18 weeks premature in 2009 and passed away shortly after birth
Kym and Jamie first met on a train as they made their way to the 2007 TV Quick Awards before developing a romance in July 2008 – a year before Kym’s divorce from ex-husband Jack Ryder.
