Coronation Street’s Katie McGlynn puts on a racy display in string bikini during Greece holiday – days after growing close to EastEnders star

by

Katie McGlynn shared some stunning bikini photos from her trip to Crete, Greece, on Saturday, quickly gaining attention online.

The 32-year-old actress, known for her role on Waterloo Road, showed off a stunning look in several photos wearing a blue and white string bikini.

Katie, known for her seven-year role as Sinead Tinker on Coronation Street, appeared happy and relaxed while sunbathing and posing for photos.

The blonde beauty oozed confidence as she effortlessly showcased her svelte waist and toned legs.

In a different photo, the woman from Manchester was playfully wearing a patterned towel and baseball cap as a makeshift head covering, along with sunglasses, likely to shield her eyes from the bright sun.

Oh my gosh, her latest post just *killed* me! It was this perfect holiday picture, and the caption was ‘Insta vs reality. Already plotting my next escape… but where should I go?!’ Seriously, I’m obsessed with knowing where she’ll go next! I’m already scouring the globe trying to guess, and it’s all I can think about! It’s like she’s speaking directly to me, asking for my help in planning her next adventure. I *need* to know!

People were quick to praise the Coronation Street actress, flooding the comments section with compliments about how stunning she looked, with many saying she made Greece even more beautiful.

‘Too much amazing beauty as always ❤️’

‘Wow wow wow x’

‘You truly are so beautiful x’

This news follows reports that Katie and Eastenders star Max Bowden have become close, shortly after his breakup with actress Tori Allen-Martin.

Oh my gosh, you will NOT believe this! Max, he’s thirty, and he starred with Tori – seriously, she’s breathtaking – in *Midnight Cowboy*, the musical! Everyone on set said they were totally glued to each other during the whole run of the show. I mean, *inseparable*! But then, just last month, they apparently split up right before he went back to that soap opera to play Ben Mitchell. I’m honestly heartbroken! They were perfect together!

He’s currently performing in a touring play called Murder At Midnight with Katie, who recently ended her relationship with reality star Ricky Rayment in July.

The pair are thought to have ‘chemistry’. 

According to a source, Max and Katie have known each other for a long time. They both worked on the same soap opera for years, so they’re part of a close-knit community of people who all know each other.

They have a lot in common and both happen to be single while on tour.

They seem to really connect and enjoy each other’s company – there’s definitely a spark between them. It’s exciting to think about what might happen next.

Daily Mail reached out to Max and Katie’s representatives for a statement when this story was being reported.

Just last month, Max ended his relationship with Tori, the actress who plays Cherry in the BBC sitcom *Here We Go*. She stars alongside Alison Steadman and Katherine Parkinson.

Meanwhile back in July the Daily Mail revealed that Katie had split from Ricky.

After meeting on a cruise in 2023 and beginning a relationship, the couple have split up. This happened even though Katie was seen with a diamond ring on Valentine’s Day, leading some to believe they were engaged.

Katie, who played Sinead Tinker on Coronation Street before her character’s death from cervical cancer in 2022, and Ricky, known from the reality show The Only Way Is Essex, shared they were ‘overjoyed’ to be together in their first interview as a couple last year.

However, their year-long relationship ended this summer. Katie, who lives in Manchester, and Ricky, 34, from Essex, had made an effort to stay together despite the distance, but ultimately decided to go their separate ways.
