The fresh-faced star beamed with happiness during their outing, and flashed a glimpse of her toned pins thanks to the split at the front of her frock.

Displaying her natural beauty, the make-up free actress left her blonde locks to hang down in glamorous curls and shielded her eyes with mottled sunglasses. 

Jonathan kept things casual in black combats with silver zips, which he teamed with a white T-shirt brandishing the word: ‘Alltimers’ in red.

Jonathan is best known for playing police constable Dick Hobbs on season one of the period crime drama Ripper Street, but now sports a very different look. 

He branched into film when he appeared in Lords Of Chaos, which followers a teenager’s quest to launch Norwegian Black Metal in Oslo in the early 1990s, with violent results.  

The actor also starred as Seb Oldroyd in 2020 series Industry, which centres around young bankers and traders making their way in the financial world in the aftermath of the 2008 collapse.  

Since quitting Hollyoaks in 2011, Emma went onto play the lead role of Anastasia/The Red Queen in the ABC Series Once Upon A Time in Wonderland, a spin-off of the series Once Upon A Time.  

After the show was axed in 2014, she landed roles in films such as Endless Love and American Violence, and most recently appeared in the BBC Three film Make Me Famous as the star of a reality series similar to Love Island.

In June, Emma spoke to Metro about her role in the drama, admitting that she’s only recently joined social media.

The actress thinks it may have harmed her career that she stayed away from the platforms for so long, saying: ‘I’m super private and also I’ve never spoken about this, but I suffered from many issues.

‘But I’ve now come to a place where I’m finally okay to be myself and I’m not afraid. I’ve realised that I am enough. 

‘If you don’t believe in yourself then no one else will and I want to show people how to feel positivity.’
