The pair first announced they were dating in 2017, sharing pictures from their holiday to Bali.

And it’s fair to say that fans of the Channel 4 soap couldn’t have been happier about their relationship…

Nadine, 24, uploaded a picture of the couple drinking what appears to be bucks fizz on their flight to Indonesia.

And Hollyoaks fans were totally smitten with the shot. One gushed: “What a stunning-looking couple – best characters in Hollyoaks.”

It’s hardly surprising that Nadine and Rory have become an item – they’ve been through a heck of a lot together on the soap.

But their characters have recently split up after Cleo’s eating disorder.

She felt it was better not to be around Joel and he made the decision to return to the preisthood.

Cleo has been dating Mitchell Deveraux, but has recently been getting frustrated as her ex and current beau have become best buddies!

The British Soap Awards on ITV on Saturday June 1 at 8pm.
