Commenting on Claire’s incredible dress, Jennifer Ellison wrote: ‘Wow, look at you!’, while others said: ‘Wow!! You look fantastic…I love the dress!!”
The couple, who hit it off after both appearing on Dancing On Ice in January, recently celebrated Ricky’s 46th birthday with family and friends in sun-soaked Tenerife.
The boxer revealed the couple are still going ‘like a house on fire’ after returning from holiday.
When asked by The Sun how their holiday went, he replied: ‘It was great. Claire is just like me, I met someone who I get along with like a house on fire.
‘She’s just like me. We spend all the time together laughing. Claire is just like me: she is so down to earth.’
‘She would never turn down a photo with a fan and she always has time for people. That’s what I love about her. We just had a lot of fun.”
Their sun-soaked outing took place just weeks after they made their red carpet debut in Manchester.
An insider recently revealed that Claire is also planning to introduce retired boxer Hatton to her family, including her nine-year-old son Jaxon.

A source told MailOnline: ‘Claire and Ricky have become very close. She wasn’t looking for a relationship, but then Ricky came along and it just felt right and natural and she’s very happy.”
‘She signed up for a reality TV show and met a great guy, so it feels a bit like winning the lottery. She really counts her blessings because it all comes out of nowhere and often that’s the best way.”
‘She is now very much looking forward to introducing Ricky to her family and friends soon and they are very much looking forward to seeing the man who has put a smile on Claire’s face.’
