Just as we'd kinda forgotten all about Ricky Whittle here he is in a gratuitous topless snap which does the job of (a) ensuring he doesn't slip our collective minds for a while and (b) reminds us why we were ever so slightly obsessed with him in the first place (it wasn't for his acting).
The former Hollyoaks star lost his shirt as he went for a run in LA with his mate Jamie Lomas who has just moved there in a bid to crack the States - something wife Kym Marsh has admitted has put a bit of a strain on their relationship.
Writing in her new! magazine column this week, Kym responded to rumours that her relationship with fiancé Jamie was on the rocks.
“We've never hidden the fact that things have been difficult for all of us with him being away, but he's been painted as the villain of the piece," she said.
“The inference is that he's abandoned me and it's not like that at all. The decision for him to go to Los Angeles was a joint one and I knew how long for.
“Jamie will be back in time for our daughter Polly's first birthday on March 23, which was always the plan.”
The Corrie star fuelled rumours about the state of her relationship after she was spotted without her engagement ring last week but it was very much back in place today as she arrived at the ITV studios to appear on Loose Women.
