Coronation Street’s resident Very Sexy Man Sam Robertson is reportedly dating A Question of Sport’s new presenter Alex Scott, who’s profile was raised considerably when she starred on Strictly Come Dancing last year.

The unlikely couple allegedly enjoyed a romantic date night out in London last week with a source saying, “They both looked totally relaxed about being out together, even though they’re both very famous now.

“Strictly made Alex a household name so she’s instantly recognisable, and Sam is a big name on Corrie so they probably knew they’d be spotted out together but didn’t seem to mind at all.”
