Faye Brookes reveals “relationship test”

Clearly keen to show off their skills, the pair created a “gravity cake”. It was covered in bright yellow icing and slices of lemon.

The actress quipped: “This is really going to test our trust and relationship if we are going to work together to bake a half decent cake.”

Indeed, Faye was seen teasing her personal trainer beau and issuing instructions to him regarding the cake’s decoration during their day out.

This is really going to test our trust and relationship!

And, it appears Faye’s family approve of the actress’s new love match.

They accompanied the couple to the event. They also went head-to-head with the pair in a 90-minute Great British Bake Off-style competition.

The singer also denied that his “controlling behaviour” was behind their split.

Rumours also emerged that Faye had enjoyed a fling with her Corrie co-star Sam Robertson while on a break from Gareth.

And, later in August, Gareth was said to be “heartbroken” at reports Faye had grown close to her personal trainer – Joe.
