Coronation Street Katie McGlynn is said to have split from former TOWIE star Ricky Rayment after two years of dating due to the pressures of a long-distance relationship
A Coronation Street actress is said to have split from her boyfriend of two years due to “difficulties”. Katie McGlynn and former The Only Way Is Essex star Ricky Rayment are believed to have parted ways due to the stresses of a long distance relationship.
The actress who played Sinead Tinker on the ITV soap opera lives in Manchester, while Ricky, who found fame on another ITV show lives in Essex. Now, the former couple have wiped all traces of one another from social media. It comes a year after the now-former couple had sparked rumours that they were engaged after Katie was seen with a diamond ring on her finger, on Valentine’s Day.
It was revealed in February last year that the former soap star and ex-reality star were a couple and had been dating for four months after they were seen walking hand in hand down a busy shopping street.
Now, though, it seems as though their relationship has fizzled out. A source said: “Katie and Ricky have ended their romance, they’re still friends and want to remain civil but in terms of a romantic relationship, it’s definitely over.”
Speaking to the MailOnline, they went on to say: “It was difficult at times for them dating even though they lived miles apart from each other but ultimately it just wasn’t meant to be.”
