Ryder, Lomas announce relationship

Coronation Street actress Kym Ryder and Hollyoaks star Jamie Lomas went public with their relationship at last night's Inside Soap Awards 2008 launch.

The pair, who play Michelle Connor and Warren Fox in their respective soaps, attended last night's bash in Manchester and posed together for the cameras, ending months of speculation as to their status.

A source told DS: "Kym and Jamie thought it was time to put an end to all the recent press rumours. They're completely in love and didn't mind showing it."

In March, it was announced that Kym and ex-EastEnders actor Jack Ryder were to end their marriage after six years.
