Meanwhile, Charlie kept it casual in washed-out jeans and a black shirt, which he wore underneath a beige jacket with a fluffy lining.

Amid the reports, The Sun then claimed that Georgia and Charlie are officially a couple and have been dating for ‘a few months’.

‘Thankfully, I’m incredibly lucky and have a family who have picked up the pieces and are trying to help me re-build myself.
‘It’s thanks to them I’m still here and trying to move forward. For that I’m truly grateful. Whatever the new year brings I hope that strength, humility, joy and love are in abundance for you all.’
Earlier this week, it was reported that Georgia had split from Mark, with a source telling The Sun: ‘The split was in July 2022 and they have both moved out of the home they shared.’
The pair, who started dating in 2008, lived together in Bristol. Georgia hasn’t posted about Mark on Instagram since March 2020.

They celebrated 10 years together back in 2018 in Lisbon, with Georgia calling Mark ‘my love’.
Georgia previously spoke about how she first met Mark on the set of BBC’s Casualty in 2008 and said at the time that they weren’t married. She played Ruth Winters on the show while Mark starred as Ben Harding in the drama.
He’s also known for shows including The Bill and Wire in the Blood.
‘Yeah, we’re actually not married but we practically are because we’ve been together so long,’ she said.

‘We met, he was a sort of semi-regular character, he was playing a councillor ironically, which is then what Toyah ended up doing. We met, gosh 13 years ago.
‘So yeah, got him out of the job and lots of friends and it was a really good time.’
Charlie has not been linked to anyone since he split from former partner, fellow Corrie alumni Nicola Thorp in 2019, following a 10-month romance.

‘He’s just a team player. And I mean look at him, there’s no complaints there either. He’s beautiful.’
