Shayne kept things casual in a muted ensemble, as he stepped out in a black track top and a padded navy gilet.
The father-of-one teamed those items with a pair of skinny jeans and box-fresh trainers, while finishing his look with a beanie.
Former Hollyoaks star Sophie couldn’t be missed as she strolled along in a bright green hoodie, and wore a blue surgical face mask.
The actress slipped into a skin-tight pair of black leggings and tied her hair into a fold-over do, while wearing a black baseball cap.

Willow looked adorable in Barbie pink leggings and rose gold trainers, while adding an extra splash of colour with a salmon pink rain mac.
Shayne recently revealed that he is staying positive about the delay to the wedding because he and Sophie are ‘together for life’.
Appearing an edition of Lorraine in June, he said: ‘We spoke about it, that’s what’s nice about it, everything can wait and there’s no rush.
‘We can do it next year. We are together for life, that’s the same regardless.’
Shayne announced his engagement to Sophie in December 2017, exactly a year after the birth of their daughter.

The couple began dating in early 2016, after Sophie split from her husband, fellow actor Graeme Rooney.
The X Factor winner previously spoke out about his devotion to daughter Willow-May, saying he was ‘born to be a dad’.
He told the Daily Mirror: ‘It is my sole purpose. Everything else in life is a hobby. People say I was born to sing but I think I was born to be a dad.’
Sophie played Lindsey Butterfield on the hit Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks from June 2013 to May 2016.
The former Coronation Street star also discussed how he and Sophie were dealing with homeschooling Willow during the UK coronavirus lockdown.
He said: ‘Everything came to a stop, everyone was shocked but I think now everyone is getting into a routine with things.
‘With home-schooling, Sophie has been incredible with Willow, it’s become the great reset in a sense it’s inspired people, the thing we go through in life means we put things off.
‘My heart breaks for children because they don’t understand why they can’t see friends, when they see another child they run away scared.
‘We have to ensure in the long-term that it doesn’t do any psychological damage, but when she’s older we can explain it and she’ll understand.’
