Hollyoaks star Nikki Sanderson dating former Emmerdale actor Anthony Quinlan after splitting with ex in lockdown

SOAP fave Nikki Sanderson is dating former Emmerdale actor Anthony Quinlan.

The Hollyoaks star, who split with ex Greg Whitehurst during lockdown in 2020, struck up a romance with Anthony last year.

And sources say the pair’s love has gone from strength to strength.

One told us: “Nikki and Anthony go to the same gym and are really into fitness, so they bonded over that.

“It’s been a while now and things are going well.

“Nikki has been having a bit of a tough time lately, and Anthony has been a great support for her.”

Nikki and Greg began dating in 2015, shortly after he split from wife Sarah.

In April 2020 she told how they were “happier than ever” spending time at home together.

But just months later, in July, she confirmed the pair had split after Greg was spotted on Bumble.

Meanwhile Anthony – who has previously dated Michelle Keegan – split from Strictly’s Dianne Buswell in 2018 after she was paired with now boyfriend Joe Sugg on the ballroom show.

He has previously said: “Of course I’d love to meet the right person and eventually I’d like to get married and start a family.”

Let’s hope he’s now met his match.
