CORONATION Street’s Elle Mulvaney has been spotted cosying up to a mystery man – a year after splitting from her ex.

The Sun exclusively revealed last May that once-smitten co-stars Elle and Liam Scholes, both 22, had gone their separate ways following a two year relationship.

But, according to a new report, the actress has found love once again, packing on the PDA with a hunk at Radio 1’s Big Weekend on Friday.

The actress, who’s played Amy Barlow on the ITV soap since childhood, was spotted getting close to a mystery man in the Liverpool festival’s VIP section.

An onlooker told The Mirror: “They couldn’t take their hands off each other. Elle and the guy looked very happy to be in one another’s company.

“They didn’t shy away from everybody around them and looked very cosy together. Elle seemed relaxed as she looked close to the guy. It seems that she has moved on from Liam.”

Elle’s representatives have been contacted for comment.

At the time of their split last year, we were told it would “take a miracle” for Elle and Liam to reunite.

A source said: “Elle and Liam were loves young dream and did everything together.

“Their split has really shocked their co-stars and family and no one knows exactly what happened.

“It was all very sudden and they have both made it clear to pals it would take a miracle for them to get back together again.”

The couple got together in 2022 just months after Amy Barlow actress Elle, 21, split from ex-boyfriend Euan.

Rocker Liam, who played Eli Higginson during a controversial hate crime storyline, has since starred in Waterloo Road and fronts the Manchester indie band The lanks.

His Corrie character helped evil Corey Brent cover up the murder of Seb Franklin, who died after a vicious street attack.

Elle previously told us what she looks for in a man.

“I definitely like somebody with confidence,” she said. “I’m confident myself, so it wouldn’t work with somebody shy.”

And she has to keep her wits about her when dating in case she’s being used for her fame.

“There are telltale signs,” she explained. “If you’re on a date with somebody and all they are interested in is who I saw at work it’s a bit of a red flag.”

In the same interview, she insisted she’s worlds away from her tearaway Corrie character.

Rebellious Amy got pregnant at 14 then had a secret abortion, and viewers often see her partying and drinking in the soap with her friends.

Elle explained: “I like baking and running. I’m a goody two shoes and I never went to a club before I was 18.

“Because I was on television, I felt I couldn’t do things like that without getting into trouble. It was a bit irritating, but now I look back and actually I’m grateful, because I didn’t make any stupid mistakes.”
