Oliver played Andy Carver in Corrie until 2017 when he was killed by serial killer Pat Phelan.

A source told The Sun: “Samantha’s chemistry with Oliver was clear to see on stage and they remained close after the production. They couldn’t be happier and have loved dating away from the public eye.

“They’ve met each other’s families and it all feels very natural. They’re totally smitten with each other.

“Plus her ex Mark is happy for her too. It’s all very grown-up and modern.”

ED! has contacted reps for Samantha and Oliver for comment.

Speaking about the breakdown of her nine-year marriage, Samantha told OK!: “Our family home is big enough and we’re coexisting happily. There’s no rush to change things.

“But now feels like the right time to be honest and admit that we are no longer together.

“We’ve been happily living together ever since. It’s bizarre but these have probably been the best years we’ve had as a family.”
