REAL-LIFE Corrie couple Joe Duttine and Sally Carman started their new year with a “near-naked” dip in the freezing cold sea.

The pair, who star as Abi Franklin and Tim Metcalfe in the soap, braved the cold and stripped off to their swimwear as they celebrated in Scotland.

Showing just how treacherous the weather was, Sally, 38, shared a clip of them wrapped up warm in the blustering wind.

She told her fans:  “We went for a near naked swim in the North Sea after this was taken #icantbelieveiteither #bloodytruethough.”

The actress then posted a series of snaps of her with Joe, 49, as they ran into the sea wearing very little.

“Start as you mean to go on #happynewdecade,” she captioned the shot.

Sally and Joe were first pictured in August 2018 holding hands with The Sun confirming that they hit it off while filming Coronation Street in Manchester before going on a string of secret dates.

A telly source explained at the time: “Both Joe and Sally had been single for a while and just met at the right time in their lives.

“Sally thinks Joe is a funny and caring guy and he’s really fallen for her, too.

“They’ve now told their castmates and everyone thinks it’s a match made in heaven.”

Since then they have moved in together and regularly share posts of their trips and their home.

Sally was well known for her role as Kelly Maguire in the Channel 4 comedy drama series Shameless before she landed the character of Abi.

Joe also starred in Shamelesss before landing a full time role in Corrie in 2013.
