HOLLYOAKS’ Jennifer Metcalfe cuddled up to her rarely-seen new man on a romantic holiday abroad.
The smitten couple looked cosy in a love heart shaped sitting area on a white sandy beach.
Bikini-clad Jennifer, 40, rested her legs over her man and placed her head on his shoulder.
The pair were all smiles for the snap and Jennifer added a heart and a kiss to it.
Jennifer and her man went Instagram official last month when the actress shared a montage of clips from the getaway.
It was sound-tracked by a song appropriately called “Glad I Found You”.
We revealed the Mercedes McQueen star had been dating her new man since December in an exclusive interview.
She told us: “I have recently been spending time with someone and he makes me feel happy.
“I look forward to seeing him and our time together is always lovely.”
The couple were pictured together on a night out in Manchester just before Valentine’s Day.
The Bradford-born beauty, who shares six-year-old son Daye with former Geordie Shore star Greg Lake, has not had a serious relationship since they split in 2020 after eight years together.
Jen said: “I tried that celebrity dating app Raya but I never went on a date.
“I prefer to meet someone and get an idea of them in real life before dating, so that app got deleted quickly.
“I am always full-on with work, Daye, friends, family and life, so the idea of spending one or two hours with a stranger wasn’t for me.
“I think you need to meet someone in person. They can look really good on the app, but you have no idea what they’re like in real life.”
“My friends would try to set me up but I wasn’t a big dater. I’d rather be going out with one of my best friends.”
Jen’s personal life is a far cry from the racy romances of man-eating alter-ego Mercedes on Hollyoaks.
Mercedes’ latest wedding wrecked by a car crash, a secret affair and a surprise pregnancy twist.
Jen said: “I think it’s my sixth wedding, but obviously not all of them have resulted in a marriage as they’ve not worked out for one or another reason.
“It’s been enough to put me off!
“It’s one of those things that you have to meet someone and want to get married — who knows what’s going to happen?
“And I think you can meet people and be so in love but marriage might not suit them.”
