Hollyoaks’ Jen Metcalfe snogs mystery man in the street after boozy night out in Manchester

HOLLYOAKS favourite Jennifer Metcalfe was seen kissing a mystery man after a night out in Manchester.

The Mercedes McQueen actress, 38, let her hair down as she left the Nuage event at Manchester Hall, looking stylish in a crop top and khaki ankle-grazer trousers.

While the identity of the male, who donned a designer Celine T-Shirt, is unknown it is clear he's a gent.

The male made sure to keep Jennifer close, before leaning in for a kiss.

He then carried the Hollyoaks actress' skyscraper strappy black heels through town when her feet became all partied out.

The mum-of-one huddled into a dark blazer jacket to keep warm as the pair waited for a car.

In December, we reported how Jennifer had taken back former footballer Chris Eagles after his drink-drive shame.

Yet it seems the pair have now called time on their relationship for good.

Last year, Jen exclusively told us she "didn't believe in happy endings" after her split from husband Greg Lake.

The soap star confirmed her split from Greg after eight years together back in August 2000.

The couple had secretly broken up a few months before and once the dust had settled, Jennifer reflected on her relationships and romance in general.

Speaking on the t, Jennifer said: "Does a happy ending exist? It doesn’t, and this is me talking.

"You get everything you ever wanted, you get your car, your house, your job, the dream and then it’s like, ‘OK, what now?’

"No one settles. Everyone has always got a little, ‘what next?’ That’s the zest of life in my opinion. Everyone has the same emotions.

"You want to be happy, you want to experience love, whatever that looks like."

Jennifer and former Geordie Shore star Greg have four-year-old son Daye together and remain friends while co-parenting their little boy.
