loved up Real life soap couple give fans a rare look inside their home – as followers say ‘I had no idea you were together!’

A REAL-LIFE soap couple have left fans stunned after sharing a rare video together inside their home – despite many not realising the pair were an item.

Actors Nikki Sanderson and Anthony Quinlan shared a hilarious new TikTok video poking fun at their relationship which left fans bursting with laughter.

But despite their comedy clip going viral, many TikTok users were actually stunned to discover the TV stars were a real-life couple.

Nikki and Anthony are believed to have first met back in 2011 when they both spent a few months working alongside one another on Channel 4 soap opera Hollyoaks.

Anthony rose to fame on the programme back in 2005 where he spent six years playing Gilly Roach.

Soap star Nikki was already well known in the 2000s for her time as Candice Stowe in Coronation Street as well as being a regular on the celeb circuit before taking a role in Hollyoaks as Maxine Minniver.

Whilst Anthony and Nikki only worked together briefly, they remained good pals and it wasn’t until 2021 that they struck up a romance with each other.

It came shortly after his exit from Emmerdale where he played Pete Barton as well as following the demise of his doomed relationship with Strictly dancer Dianne Buswell.

Anthony dated Dianne for a little over a year but their relationship ended in 2018 and she quickly moved on with her celeb dancing partner from that year, YouTube star Joe Sugg.

In the hilarious new clip that has got soap fans talking, Anthony and Nikki jokingly poke fun at the time-keeping in their relationship with the short sketch seeing Anthony taking his time in the toilet despite his partner being ready to get out of the door for a night out.

Nikki captioned the funny video: “Can anyone relate?”

Her comments sections was soon flooded with Hollyoaks fans in shock that “Maxine and Gilly” were together.

One stunned follower wrote under the sketch: “Your going out with gilly??? I’ve missed a whole chapter here.”

Another echoed: “Maxine & Gilly? I had no idea!!”

A third went on to write: “I totally forgot these two were a couple.”

Elsewhere, a fourth was left giggling at the video as they shared: “This is amazingly accurate.”

In the clip, fans were able to get a peek of their gorgeous home together which featured wooden beams on the ceiling and a rustic feel throughout.

A sparkling Christmas tree could even be seen in the corner of the living area with it clear the lovebirds are getting into the festive mood.
