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

Katie McGlynn set pulses racing as she posted  several bikini-clad pictures during a visit to the Greek island of Crete on Saturday.

The former Waterloo Road star, 32, looked sensational in a slew of snaps wearing a blue and white string two-piece.

Katie, who played Sinead Tinker for seven years on Coronation Street, lay on a sun lounger, looking happy and relaxed as she posed for pictures and soaked up the sun.

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

In another picture the Manchester native playfully wore a patterned towel and baseball cap on her head with a pair of sunglasses presumably to protect herself from the blazing sunglasses.

Referencing the holiday idyll she captioned the post: ‘Insta vs reality. Already plotting my next escape… but where should I go?!’

Her holiday comes days after it was reported she is growing close to EastEnders star Max Bowden – after he split from his actress girlfriend Tori Allen-Martin

Fans of the Coronation Street star gushed how great she looked and took to the comments to express their admiration, writing: ‘Katie you make Greece more beautiful’

‘Too much amazing beauty as always ❤️’

‘Wow wow wow x’

‘You truly are so beautiful x’

It comes after reports Katie and Eastenders actor Max Bowdon have been getting close – after he split from his actress girlfriend Tori Allen-Martin.

Max, 30, who co-starred with stunner Tori in musical Midnight Cowboy, were said to have been ‘inseparable’ during the show’s run but last month went their separate ways ahead of his brief soap return as Ben Mitchell.

Now he is starring in touring play Murder At Midnight alongside Katie, who split from TOWIE star Ricky Rayment in July.

The pair are thought to have ‘chemistry’.

A source has told The Sun: ‘Max and Katie have been around each other for years. They were in the soap world for so long where everyone knows each other.

‘They’ve got loads in common and both have found themselves single at the same time as doing the tour.

‘They get on well and have been spending time together – it’s clear they’ve got chemistry. Who knows what the future holds?’

Representatives for Max and Katie were contacted by Daily Mail at the time of reporting for comment.

Just last month Max split from Tori who is best known for her role in BBC sitcom Here We Go in where she plays Cherry, alongside Alison Steadman and Katherine Parkinson.

Katie and Max, 30, have reportedly known each other for years and are now starring in touring play Murder At Midnight together, having both split from their respective partners

Max’s ex girlfriend was stunner Tori Allen-Martin and despite being described as ‘inseparable’  went their separate ways last month ahead of his brief soap return as Ben Mitchell

Katie meanwhile split from TOWIE star Ricky Rayment in July – with the pair having ‘chemistry’ (seen together earlier this summer)

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

The couple, who started dating after meeting on a cruise ship in 2023, went their separate ways despite sparking engagement speculation when Katie was pictured wearing a diamond ring last Valentine’s Day.

Katie, who left Corrie in 2022 after her character Sinead Tinker died of cervical cancer, and Ricky, famed for his appearances on ITVBe’s The Only Way Is Essex, said they ‘couldn’t be happier’ during their first interview as a couple last year.

But in summer, the pair called time on their year-long romance, which saw Katie who’s Manchester based, and Ricky, 34, who lives in Essex, commit to each other despite living in different cities.
