Meanwhile, it comes after Tanisha shared a number of sweet pictures from her recent break with her rarely-seen boyfriend after her own selfie seemingly left her co-star emotional.

Back in April, the actress ditched the UK - and the cobbles of Weatherfield - for a very special location that is often described as the most magical place on earth. Tanisha revealed she was taking a holiday away from the Salford-based set with her partner, Lucas Whelan.

While he doesn't often feature on her social media as they keep their relationship out of the spotlight, Tanisha first went public with her relationship with Lucas on her 18th birthday. The two were then flooded with support when they revealed they had bought their first home together back in 2022.

But weeks on from their adventure across the pond, and at the end of last week, Tanisha has shared some more pictures of their break with Lucas featuring heavily in the printed snaps she had developed after taking a disposable camera with her to DisneyWorld. Alongside a video of all the sweet photos laid out, Tanisha said: "Got some of our Disney world piccys too," alongside faces holding back tears emojis.
