Onlookers told HOAR Ryan and Zaraah — who met while they were both in ITV’s Corrie — spent time catching up at the NTAs before hugging at an after-party.
One said: “Ryan and Zaraah bumped into each other at the party and seemed to be getting on like a house on fire, chatting and catching up.
“Ryan was inviting Zaraah to come to his house with her family.
“They were laughing together, and he was looking at something on her phone.
“Then he pulled her in for an affectionate cuddle.
“The drinks had been flowing all night, and he was obviously caught up in the moment.”
They went on: “Afterwards they were laughing together again. It was clear they had known each other for some time, as Ryan was heard telling her, ‘You know me so well’. He then went on to tell her, ‘You know what I’m like.’ It was all very playful.”
A spokesperson for Zaraah said: “Zaraah and Ryan have been good mates for over 20 years and were just catching up as they haven’t seen each other for quite some time. It’s nothing more than that.”
A spokeswoman for Ryan declined to comment.
Zaraah was Corrie’s Joanne Jackson for two years from 2005. She later joined EastEnders as Chelsea Fox.
Earlier, the pair saw their soaps lose to Emmerdale for Best Serial Drama at Wembley’s OVO Arena,
