In 2018, Hugh confirmed he and Claire like their characters on-screen were dating during an interview with the Mail on Sunday.
At the time he said: “I am very, very happy, we are so very happy.”
In a separate interview, Claire spoke of how the pair had been together since 2017 but initially kept their relationship private out of respect for their families.
Hugh was previously married twice, having tied the knot with his first wife Miranda Carroll in 1987.
