Coronation Street star Elle Mulvaney stood with her favourite thing underneath the Christmas tree - her boyfriend.
The 21-year-old soap actress has been dating Waterloo Road star Liam Scholes, 20, have been dating for just over a year - and seemed besotted with each other as they marked Christmas Day together. Elle, who has played Amy Barlow on Corrie since 2010, and Liam, who also had a brief time on the Cobbles himself in 2021, playing a character called Eli Higginson for six episodes, looked loved up together.
Taking to Instagram on Christmas Day, the pair posed as they snuggled up together beside an impressive Christmas tree. Huge baubles, crown decorations and stars adorned the festive tree, while Elle was wearing a black dress with sparkly details and strappy white heels.
Liam was dressed casually in a sports top, simple chinos and a pair of trainers - but had a winning smile on his face that implied he was very happy to be with his girlfriend on Christmas Day. Elle uploaded the cute snap to her Instagram page - with fans quickly showing their approval.

Elle has previously gushed over the relationship she is enjoying with Liam - saying the fact he is an actor means he understands the hectic work life she endures. She told OK! Magazine in March: “He’s been brilliant… because he’s an actor as well he knows what it entails. He’s coped with his fair share of backlash in the past when he played Eli in Corrie. He’s always really supportive and if I’ve had a bad day he’ll say, ‘Let’s go for a Chinese…’
Asked if it was true love, she enthusiastically replied: “Yes! It’s going well, it’s going very well.” Fans will have noticed the happiness of the couple if they follow them on social media, as they frequently post online together. It comes as Liam is set to reprise his role as Noel McManus on Waterloo Road, with the BBC teen drama being recommissioned for another series, which airs on the network in just a number of days.
