Charley's outing comes after her ex was spotted out for the first time with his new reported girlfriend Heather Scott-Martin, who is understood to be starring in Elf the Musical along with the soap star. A source described them as looking like 'honeymooners' or 'loved-up teenagers', but added that Heather was 'wary' about getting involved with Matthew too soon.

The source claimed: "She was trying not to be seen with him, standing away from the stage door when he emerged from show rehearsals and shows. But now the cat is out of the bag. Heather is a clean-cut, popular woman who was desperate not to be painted as Matthew’s ‘other woman’.

"She’s not happy about being thrust into the conversation of his celebrity marriage breakdown.” The couple are yet to address the reported romance.
