Former EastEnders star Samantha Womack has moved on from her divorce after splitting from her ex-husband of nine years Mark Womack.

Confirming that she is dating former Coronation Street star Oliver Farnworth, who played Andy Carver, Samantha shared four photos with him on Twitter.

The soap stars apparently grew close to each other while they both performed on stage in The Girl On The Train.

A source told The Sun, "Samantha’s chemistry with Oliver was clear to see on stage and they remained close after the production.

"They couldn’t be happier and have loved dating away from the public eye."

"They’ve met each other’s families and it all feels very natural. They’re totally smitten with each other," they added.

Samantha and her ex-husband Mark announced their split last summer, admitting that their marriage actually broke down in 2019, but continued to live together with their two children.

Samantha spoke to the same publication about the living arrangements and admitted, "We’ve been happily living together ever since. It’s bizarre but these have probably been the best years we’ve had as a family."
