Former Coronation Street star Chris Quinten has had a varied career that has seen him transition from the world of soap operas to managing a strip club.
Quinten, who played Brian Tilsley on the hit British soap, left the show in 1989 before going on to secure roles in several TV series and movies in Hollywood.
He eventually returned to the UK and began working at the Secret Lounge strip club where he met his current fiancé, Robyn Delabarre, who used to work as a lap dancer there.
The couple recently announced their engagement, with Quinten stating that they were head over heels in love with each other.
Quinten returned to the soap world in 2020, joining Hollyoaks as Kyle Kelly’s father after a thirty-year break from soap operas.
The actor expressed his excitement about exploring the characters’ backstory and reuniting with Adam Rickitt, who once played his on-screen son Nick Tisley on Coronation Street.
Meanwhile, Quinten’s fiancé Delabarre is making a small fortune by selling sizzling snaps on OnlyFans, charging her adoring followers £6-a-month.
Despite trolls calling her a gold digger, the 21-year-old has proudly flaunted her financial independence and lucrative OnlyFans earnings.
Prior to Quinten, Delabarre dated late Love Island star Mike Thalassitis.
Quinten has also had a famous love affair with the stunning American talk show queen Leeza Gibbons during the ’90s.
However, the pressures of fame and fortune eventually took their toll on their relationship, and they split after welcoming a daughter together.
