Jill Halfpenny was seen for the first time with her new partner Ian McAllister on Friday, after revealing she’s ‘deeply in love’ with the new man in her life.

The actress, 49, recently revealed she’s ‘finally found love and happiness again’ following the tragic death of Matt Janes.

Jill, who lost her former partner Matt to a fatal heart attack in 2017, previously shared Matt told her he’d want her to ‘find someone else and be happy’ if anything were to happen to him.

The new couple looked happier than ever as they made their first public appearance in Stockton-on-Tees.

Jill looked incredibly stylish in a smart black suit jacket and tie as she posed next to the handsome marketing executive, 48.
