LUCY Mecklenburgh recently caught Ryan Thomas holding hands with a Dancing on Ice star, prompting her to ask, "What is going on here?"
The former Corrie star, 39, joined the show's cast last year and spent months practicing with his skating partner Amani Fancy ahead of his debut this month.
A man of dedication, Ryan's even been refining his skills with his old soap co-star Chris Fountain, 36, who competed on Dancing On Ice back in 2008.
But during one of their home rehearsals, Ryan's fiancée Lucy hilariously walked in on the pair.
He recounted the tale to Closer, explaining, "I'm his biggest fan, and now he's going to be my biggest fan!

"He was at my house on Christmas Eve, and Lucy walked in and saw us holding hands and doing footwork.
"She was like, 'What is going on here? Have you got something to tell me?'"
Ryan's hard work has certainly paid off, having bagged the first episode's highest score.
The Celebrity Big Brother housemate was awarded 26.5 by the judges after skating to Sex on Fire by the Kings of Leon.
He dedicated his performance to his late father Dougie James, who passed away in 2020 at the age of 72.
But just days before, Amani revealed he had been 'wounded' after a nasty injury during training.
Posting a snap of the actor, she said: "The wounded @ryanthomas84."
But assuring fans he would be ok in time for the first live show, Amani added: "Don't worry everyone, they're just sore."
Ryan and Towie star Lucy share daughter Lilah, 14 months, and son Roman, three together.
