Our source added: “Mark and Hayley have kept things low key but this week they headed out on a day-date.

He also revealed why he chose to allow another man into his relationship, after opening up about Katie’s romance with a senior design engineer called Scott.
In an exclusive interview, Mark explained: “When Katie first came clean to me about her boyfriend, I’d had an inkling.”
“But right from the start, my attitude was quite pragmatic — this was spilt milk, what could we do about the situation to make it OK?
“We had a family. We couldn’t just throw that away lightly. There were other considerations.”
