Coronation Street star Jack James Ryan sparked romance rumours as he admitted he’s “punching” with co-star Elle Mulvaney.

The Jacob Hay star reunited with his on-screen girlfriend at the Inside Soap Awards this week.

Elle is best known for her role as Amy Barlow on the ITV cobbles – and has been dating Jacob since he turned a corner from his drug dealing days earlier this year.

The pair looked incredibly cosy as they posed for a red carpet shot, with Elle wowing in a backless dress slashed to her upper thigh.

The little black dress left her bare legs on display as she grinned for the camera, with Jack placing a hand on her back to tug her in closer as he smartened up in a blue checked three-piece suit.

With his waistcoat buttoned up and a crisp black shirt worn underneath, Jack looked a far cry from his Corrie alter ego, while Elle glammed up for her big night out.

The actress opted for a bold winged eyeliner and hot pink lip as she got cosy with her co-star.

In a cheeky Instagram post which consisted of a solo snap followed by a picture of he and Elle together, Jack wrote: “Swipe 2 see my punching,” along with a shocked and breathless emoji.

Elle quickly responded to the post, adding a row of party emojis to her own comment.

While Jack’s co-star sister Rebecca Ryan – who played Lydia on the cobbles – added two flame emojis.

Other fans rushed to the comments section to comment on a potential real life romance between Elle and Jack – though the pair haven’t yet confirmed anything is going on between them.

One fan penned: “I wish they were an item in real life, they look so cute together!”

As another echoed: “The real best soap couple!” while someone else posted: “You two would make a perfect couple IRL, just sayin…”

A fourth branded them the “best looking couple on TV” – and Jack didn’t seem keen to discourage them, as he replied: “I know that right?!”

It comes after Jack branded Elle “my girl” while out celebrating her birthday with Summer Spellman actress Harriet Bibby – leaving fans swooning.

One begged at the time: “Are you dating outside of acting?”

But Jack and Elle have still not commented publicly on the rumours – and both are currently thought to be single.
