Since he stepped onto the cobbles in 2014, Daniel Brocklebank has become a solid Coronation Street cast member.

The actor, who plays Billy Mayhew, has built up a hugely loyal fan base- and they’ve been keen to find out more about the star’s love life.

So who is Daniel Brocklebank dating?

Let’s get the lowdown…

Daniel Brocklebank Partner

At the moment, the Corrie star doesn’t seem to be dating anyone. But he’s had some pretty high-profile relationships in the past.

Daniel Brocklebank’s last partner was Stuart Hatton Jr, a former Mr Gay UK and Mr Gay World champion.

The pair met at Stockholm Pride back in 2017, and it didn’t take long for them to hit things off.

Daniel and Stuart were super loved up on their social media channels, and the Corrie star was open about how much Stuart meant to him.

“The best love story is when you fall in love at the most unexpected time with the most unexpected person” he said.

But a year or so into their relationship, things started to go quiet between Daniel and Stuart.

They didn’t share photos together as frequently, and fans started questioning if the couple were actually still together.

It was later confirmed that the couple had gone their separate ways in December 2018.

A spokesperson said:

“Daniel and Stuart made the mutual decision to go their separate ways last month.

They will not be making any further comment.”

According to The Sun, the pair split due to work commitments getting in the way of their relationship.

A source said:

“Dan is really busy with Corrie and Stuart has his business interests in the northeast.

They just don’t have the time and they sat down and had the talk to end things.”

Split with Co-Star

David was also briefly connected to his Corrie co-star Rob Mallard, who plays Ken Barlow’s son Daniel.

The pair seemed super keen on each other, and Rob said his beau was “the best thing I’ve taken home this year” at the British Soap Awards in 2017.

But sources close to the pair said that the pressure of working together and dating became too intense for them.

One of the sources revealed:

It was a lot of pressure for both of them to be working on the same show and going out—in the end something had to give.

They decided to part ways a couple of weeks ago but they’re still great friends and hope to remain that way.”

Their split came just a month after Rob had publicly declared his feelings for his co-star.

Career

Daniel Brocklebank might be best known for his time on Coronation Street, but the actor had a fair few successes elsewhere before he joined the cast of the show.

He’s made appearances in everything from Born and Bred, Casualty and The Bill to the likes of Fair City, Doctors and Waterloo Road.

Daniel has also landed some high-profile films over the years; he starred alongside Keira Knightley in The Hole, The Hours with Meryl Streep, and Merlin with Sam Neill and Helena Bonham Carter.
