Stacey Dooley and her partner Kevin Clifton looked more loved-up than ever as they left The Opera House in Manchester together on Friday night.
The documentary-maker, 38, and the professional dancer, 42, had both performed on stage for a special performance of 2:22 A Ghost Story.
Stacey cut a stylish figure in a sheer grey T-shirt teamed with light denim shorts and an oversized red cardigan draped over her shoulders.
She finished the look with chunky black loafers and a chic handbag, wearing her signature bob loose around her face.
Kevin kept it casual in a crisp white T-shirt, grey trousers and trainers, slinging a backpack over one shoulder as he wrapped an arm around Stacey.
The pair looked happy and relaxed as they made their way to a waiting car, with Stacey flashing a peace sign for the cameras.

‘And that’s why it’s felt like certain sections of society, they can’t tap into … you know I mean, (a) certain demographic.
‘But I feel like this play, I like it for that reason, actually. It doesn’t feel too highbrow or (like) people (are) sat there with their arms folded, saying, ‘right, you know, impress me’. It’s an experience and it’s a ghost story … it’s quite thought provoking.
‘So I’m not too fussed about the critics and again, it’s so subjective.’
She added: ‘You can sort of get into your head and think, ‘Oh, am I going to do a good job?’. All you can do is try your best, (and) go for it,’ she said. ‘And hopefully people enjoy it.
‘It’s a hugely successful play and it’s done so well and I think they’ve always cast in quite unexpected ways … like the first it was Lily Allen’s role, really, and she just smashed it and she was nominated for an Olivier Award.
‘And then, ever since then, I think Jenny particularly … hasn’t been as traditionally cast as other places.’
