The former soap actress shared a romantic snap of them both enjoying their recent vacation in Crete.
Captioning a post showing a snap of Kel and Nolh enjoying drinks in an outdoor dining area, she wrote: “Yamas! Greek style summer nights with my baby.”
Kel’s Insta followers quickly took to the comments section to rave about the star’s vacation photos.
Former Corrie actress Kimberley Hart-Simpson wrote, “Wow.”
While Samia Longchambon gushed: “Beauty.”
Other followers also expressed their joy at seeing Kel look so loved.
One posted: “Looking good darling! And nice to see you both so happy.”
While another said: “Oh you look so beautiful and happy Kel.”
And when a friend replied to her post, “He’s a happy man,” she responded with a hug emoji.
TV presenter and events manager Nolh also posted a nice comment under the snap.
He wrote: “Thank you for a lovely holiday. To many more.”
It’s unclear how long the pair have been together – but Kel first posted a photo together last month when they went to a charity ball in Manchester.
Last year, viewers watched as her terminally ill character, Laura, turned herself in to the police so Rick’s killer, Gary Windass, could continue to care for her daughter, Kelly.
And the shocking storyline led to Kel’s departure – with the death of Laura.
Speaking of the filming of her final scenes, Kel said, “Oh my god, it’s emotional.
“I get emotional and start to fill up just thinking about it.
“What a way. When they asked me to come back for this last act I couldn’t believe it, it was too good to refuse.
“As an actor, it’s just amazing to get into something so heartbreaking, dramatic and even humorous.
“It’s been three years now and people were desperate to get the truth out, but I don’t think they expected this turn of events.
“This twist makes the death scenes even more emotionally charged.”
Kel also revealed that working on the soap full-time was a dream of hers.
She added: For me it was an incredible task to play a brilliant character and be part of a storyline that really engages the audience.
“The biggest thing I took away from it is the relationships with the people there.
“Milie is incredible, such a talented actress and she is the daughter I never had.
“I knew Georgia before joining as we trained together many years ago. So it was great to work with her again.
“I also really enjoyed working with Samia, Charlie and Mikey. We are like one big family and I feel blessed to be a part of it and I will never forget that experience.”
Kel’s final scenes will play later in the spring.
