Sam Womack shares loved-up snap with Corrie boyfriend Oliver Farnworth as she reveals breast cancer battle update
SAM Womack has shared a loved-up snap with her boyfriend, Coronation Street actor Oliver Farnworth.
The couple looked delighted as they got ready to tuck into a huge dish of food, as they held up spoons in delight.
The 49-year-old, who is best known for playing Ronnie Mitchell on BBC soap EastEnders, shared her cancer diagnosis in August, as she paid tribute to the late Olivia Newton-John.
Sharing a picture of herself with the actress, who passed away at the age of 73, Samantha wrote: “This was the most magical of evenings.
“Olivia and Chloe had come to see Grease in London and we had dinner together afterwards. I was so excited and in awe, she was my childhood.”
Sam added: “I now start my own battle with this disease and am left feeling deeply moved. #OliviaNewtonJohn.”

In Sam’s new snap with her boyfriend Oli, she explained to fans that he’d rustled up the dish himself.
“This was a few days ago -after getting appetite back- following “Red Devil chemo”” Sam began.
She added: “Oi made this on an open fire in Valencia. Struggling with migraines at the moment, but Xena the rescue dog by my side, keeping her Topaz eyes on me……..”
Sam’s pals told her they were “sending huge hugs” after her candid snap, which sees her gazing up at Oli with a black top on.
The actress grew close to Oliver while acting opposite him in the 2019 stage adaptation of thriller The Girl On The Train.

A source said at the time: “Samantha’s chemistry with Oliver was clear to see on stage and they remained close after the production.
“They couldn’t be happier and have loved dating away from the public eye.
“They’ve met each other’s families and it all feels very natural. They’re totally smitten with each other.
“Plus her ex Mark is happy for her too. It’s all very grown-up and modern.”
