Kris Mochrie dating former Emmerdale co-star Max Parker

Kris Mochrie is dating his former \'Emmerdale\' co-star Max Parker.

The pair played brothers on the ITV soap, but since Kris - who portrayed Victoria Sugden (Isabel Hodgins)\'s rapist Lee Posner - departed the programme he has embarked on a relationship with Max (Luke Posner).

Kris said: "It\'s great to meet someone through work and have so many things in common and an understanding of each other\'s jobs."

Despite playing siblings, the pair didn\'t actually share any screen time in the Dales, but they kept in touch and have been on holiday together to Dubai.

He added to the Daily Mirror newspaper: "We didn\'t actually share any scenes together on \'Emmerdale\' but kept in touch after I left.

"I don\'t want to jinx things. We are seeing how we get on. We had a great time on holiday in Dubai. Let\'s see how it goes."

\'Emmerdale\' fans first began speculating the pair might be an item when Kris posted a picture with Max on Instagram back in July.

He captioned the picture: "London lads lazily lounging like [sunglasses emoji] (sic)"

And the pair both shared snaps with each other earlier this month.

Captioning one, Kris joked: "Album cover 2020?"

Max shared a topless picture of the pair from their time in Dubai, and he wrote: "Not drunk...NOT DRUNK (sic)"

Kris departed \'Emmerdale\' in October last year when Lee died after suffering an intracerebral haemorrhage following an attack by Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley), who was sentenced to 14 years in prison.

Victoria later gave birth to Lee\'s son Harry in January this year.

Luke ended up hooking up with Victoria, and while they split earlier this year, just this week they declared their love for each other.
