'Coronation Street' star Gray O'Brien has ended his romance with the make-up girl he fell for on set and has reportedly fallen for an Irish business woman.

O’Brien, 40, is reportedly still on good terms with Jill Farrimond, 42, after their relationship drifted apart, but actor, who plays factory boss Tony Gordon on screen, is said to have already moved on with a new lady in his life.

According to The Mirror newspaper he told friends he has fallen for an Irish businesswoman who he can't wait to get to see once filming has finished.

A source told the newspaper: "Gray says he met her in Dublin and they just got on like a house on fire. Since then he says he can't wait to try and book flights to get over there in between filming. "It seems he is really besotted with the lady who, by the sound of things, is educated and career-minded.

"He has ended it with Jill which was a surprise to people in production."
