Faye Brooks puts on a loved-up display with beau Joe Davis as they hold hands while heading out for dinner date

They first went public with their romance last year, following her split from ex-fiancé Gareth Gates.

And Faye Brooks looked smitten as she stepped out for a date night with beau Joe Davis at the Don Giovannis Restaurant in Manchester on Friday.

The former Coronation Street star, 33, put on a stylish display in a black mini dress that had a semi-sheer polka dot panel at her neckline.

Faye’s ensemble fit loosely on her slender frame but was cut high on her thigh to show off her long legs that she covered with tights.

Her brunette locks were brushed into loose waves that fell over her shoulders, and she used a light palette of make-up to accentuate her pretty features. 

The actress boosted her height in a pair of black heels, and she accessorised with a pair of pearl earrings and a small grey clutch bag.

Joe, meanwhile, looked dapper in a navy blue pea coat that he shrugged on over a simple black shirt and denim jeans for a casual look.

Last year, Faye confirmed her new romance with the personal trainer in late November as they made their red carpet debut at the White Christmas musical press night. 

During the night, the actress leaned into Joe as he placed a hand on the small of her back, indicating the friends had grown closer since Faye’s relationship with Gareth ended last July. 

Faye’s ex-fiancé Gareth, 36, has found love with Ibiza DJ Chloe McLennan, and he was seen last week with her on her 30th birthday in Manchester.

Gareth took to his Instagram Story to share a set of four loved-up snaps captioned: ‘Happy birthday baby. Have the best day beautiful.’ 

In one picture the couple looked radiant as they posed in front of pink balloons and laughed for the camera.   

Gareth celebrated his birthday last month with a group of family and friends, as well as with Chloe.

Posting a snap to Instagram, he added the caption: ‘I had the best birthday. These beautiful souls are my world.’

He didn’t tag Chloe in the post but she was present with his nearest and dearest.

A source told The Sun: ‘They have both been leaving loved up comments on each other’s Instagram pictures from around April. They met in Ibiza earlier this year and have grown close ever since.’

Indeed, comments have materialised online under social media snaps, with Gareth writing ‘Mmmmm’ under one of Chloe’s sultry snaps.
