Fast forward to 2011, and Lucien found himself entangled in a reality TV romance with none other than Kerry Katona. Their chemistry on Celebrity Big Brother was undeniable, and their on-screen flirtations spilled over into the real world. However, their whirlwind romance was short-lived, lasting only a few months, leaving fans yearning for more drama from this dynamic duo. The age gap of 12 years didn’t seem to deter their initial attraction.

While starring on the BBC series Waterloo Road, Lucien’s on-screen chemistry with co-star Chelsee Healey set tongues wagging.

Despite their on-screen sparks, their love story remained confined to the small screen. Looks like life didn’t imitate art in this case.
