Hollyoaks’ Jennifer Metcalfe shares a passionate kiss with a handsome mystery man in Manchester

Hollyoaks’ Jennifer Metcalfe was spotted packing on the PDA with a handsome mystery man after the Nuage party in Manchester on Sunday.

The actress, 38, who plays Mercedes McQueen in the soap, cosied up to him before sharing a passionate kiss outside of the venue. 

Jennifer is currently ‘totally single’ after breaking up with Oldham Athletic player Chris Eagles, 36, last September.

Mother-of-one Jennifer announced in August 2020 that she had secretly split from her ex Greg following an eight year romance.

The brunette beauty showcased her hourglass figure in a brown bandeau crop top and figure-hugging cargo trousers.

The soap star layered the look with a chic black blazer as she strutted her stuff in towering heels. 

Jennifer opted for a glamorous palette of make-up with a cherry red lip, while her brunette tresses cascade to her shoulders.

The night out comes after Jennifer revealed that she’s keen to have more children as a single parent ‘as long as her parts are still working’ and is also ‘very keen on adoption.’

Pals: Chelsee, 34, who plays Goldie McQueen, turned heads in a striking Louis Vuitton co-ord that featured trousers and a matching bikini top as she joined Jennifer at the party 

The star – who is mum to son Daye, four – recently admitted she would happily be an older mum, insisting she ‘wouldn’t rule it out at 50’.

Revealing that she’d love to have more children, Jennifer told The Sun: ‘As long as my parts are still working, I wouldn’t rule it out at 50! I’ve actually always been very keen on adoption and I’d do that as a single parent.’

Daye lives with Jennifer near Manchester, but sees his dad, who is based in Newcastle, every other weekend and during school holidays.

Speaking of her romantic relationship with Greg ending, the soap star insisted she never wants them to feel ‘split up,’ because of their son.

She explained: ‘There was no bad energy [at the end] and I don’t even like using the phrase ‘split up’. We’ll never be split, we’re a family and always will be.

‘I never want us to feel split, for Daye, and I’ll do everything I can to make sure of that. It was a case of: ‘This is us now and how do we make this gear change and not have Daye feel it?’.’
