Ricky Hatton’s Playboy model pal Carla Howe ensured all eyes were on her as she stepped out in London’s Mayfair on Thursday.

The glamour girl, 33, showed off her stand-out style as she wore an emerald green sequinned mini dress.

Her sleeveless garment featured a plunging neckline which was partially visible behind some green and black feathers.

She wore a pair of clear and silver high-heeled shoes to add a few inches to her stature and could be seen looking at her phone as she walked down the street.

The acquaintance of former professional boxer Ricky glanced back over her shoulder as she stopped to pose.

It comes after Carla had her say on Ricky’s new love interest Claire Sweeney.

Brookside and Coronation Street actress Claire, 52, and the former sportsman, 45, looked loved-up and put their arms around each other as they enjoyed a pub crawl in Manchester on Saturday last week.

They also enjoyed a pub date on Friday last week, with the new couple surprising staff at a venue in Stockport.

On ITV show Dancing On Ice this year, Claire was partnered with professional skater Colin Grafton and was eliminated in week three, while Ricky was partnered with Robin Johnstone and left in week one.

But the pair appear to have struck up a connection as they appeared very cosy on their dates, prompting Carla to speak out about Ricky’s ‘wandering eye’.

Carla and Ricky exchanged some flirtatious text messages after meeting in 2021 before she claims he invited her on holiday to Tenerife.

After seeing Ricky and Claire on their dates over the weekend, Carla told The Sun: ‘When Ricky was pursuing me he was living a really unhealthy lifestyle – drinking a lot and partying. He was really immature.

‘He seems to be back on track now and ready to settle down – if he can control his wandering eye.

‘I’m really shocked that he’s gone for Claire. She’s very different to who I would have expected him to end up with.

‘I guess she might be a better fit for him. It seems like she’ll be wearing the trousers and the one in control, whereas with me he was looking for someone more submissive.

‘I wish him the best though. He’s a lovely guy and deserves to be happy.’

A representative for Ricky told Carla and the boxer were never in a relationship, stating: ‘Ricky was approached by Carla Howe on a night out for a photograph.

‘Some time later she messaged Ricky could she have a training session and get some boxing advice as she was scheduled to take part in a boxing contest. She did come to the gym with a professional photographer.

‘She later messaged Ricky to see if he would get involved in the promotion, which he declined. I wish to point out that they never dated and were not in a relationship and any suggestion to the contrary is factually incorrect.’

Carla claims she has remained friends with Ricky and they last spoke at the end of last year, shortly before he competed on Dancing On Ice.

Ricky is said to be ‘completely besotted’ with Claire after the pair met during their time on the ITV television figure skating competition.

While neither were particularly successful on the skating show it appears a romance may have blossomed from it.

A source told The Sun: ‘They became friends on Dancing On Ice and really hit it off.

‘It’s since become romantic and they’ve enjoyed a few dates. It’s early days but they’ve got a spark and have been having a great time.’

According to another source, the pair have been on a number of dates and Ricky is ‘completely besotted’.

They told the Mirror: ‘The chemistry was electric. Ricky went out of the show early on but he contacted her afterwards and let’s say he started wooing her.

‘They’ve been out on several dates. Saturday was just one in a long line of them. They’ve been seeing each other quite a bit. He is completely besotted.

‘It seems like an unlikely match but he’s always had a way with women. They fall for his personality, and Claire has.

‘He knows her number one priority is her son so they are being very careful. Let’s watch this space.’

A representative for Ricky declined to comment. contacted a representative for Claire for comment.

Claire and Ricky were seen looking cosy as they walked with their arms around one another during their night out in Manchester last weekend.

They were spotted leaving the first pub on their crawl with friends and were later spotted arriving at another nearby boozer with their arms around one another.
