Hannah Waddingham has opened up about her relationship with her spinal surgeon boyfriend, Nicolas Beresford-Clearly, in a candid interview.

The Game of Thrones alum, 52, was previously in a long-term relationship with Gianluca Cugnetto for eight years ago.

However, later in life, she found love again, this time with a spinal surgeon who works at Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and King Edward VII Hospital

Speaking about her partner in a chat with Heat magazine, Hannah quipped that Nick is ‘not too shabby’ as she remarked there is no need to ‘rush’ when it comes to finding true love.
