Emmerdale star Mimi Slinger posts rare pic of boyfriend HRVY as they celebrate Valentine’s in ‘love igloo’
EMMERDALE star Mimi Slinger has posted a rare snap of her boyfriend HRVY as they celebrated Valentine’s Day together.
The actress took to Instagram with a snap of the singer as they enjoyed a romantic meal for two inside an igloo set up in her garden.
Mimi, 19, who portrays Leanna Cavanagh on the ITV soap, revealed behind-the-scenes snaps from their romantic evening on her stories.
The outdoor igloo had been fitted with a dining table covered in red roses, chocolates, presents and candles for a romantic evening.
Keeping it casual in a white hoodie, HRVY, 23, smiled for the camera as they sat down in front of a huge red and pink balloon arch.
Meanwhile, Mimi stunned as she posed for a photo next to a pile of sweets that had been laid out for the pair to enjoy together.
The couple spent their evening playing card games in the romantic “love igloo”, which HRVY went on to post on his Instagram grid.
“Happy Valentine’s,” he captioned a series of snaps from throughout their evening, including their chocolate-covered strawberry dessert.
HRVY and Mimi’s relationship was revealed last October, just months after his split from EastEnders’ actress Maisie Smith.
Pals told The Sun they met at the National Television Awards last year and are “head-over-heels” for one another.

A source said: “HRVY and Mimi are completely loved up. After HRVY performed at the NTAs he met Mimi and they hit it off.
“They started talking over social media and it all went from there.
“Things are pretty serious between them. They both know each other’s families and their friends have met.
“HRVY and Mimi have a real connection and those around them think they could go the distance because of what a good match they are.
“She is a model as well as an actress and wants to pursue a music career too – so they have a lot in common.
“They’re keeping their relationship off social media for the minute but it won’t be long until they’re Instagram official.”
HRVY and Maisie, 20, were linked following their stint on the last series of Strictly Come Dancing but they grew apart after the show.
Mimi, 18, played Leanna Cavanagh on the ITV soap for three years before she was killed off by the Dales’ resident psychopath Meena Jutla.
Since she left Mimi admitted she was keen to make the move into music – just like her new beau HRVY.
She said: “I would love to do something with my music too, as I am a singer and songwriter. I have also recently started modelling and have already done some fantastic, fun jobs. I do love it and am learning a lot.”
