Hand-in-hand: Miranda Raison strolls in the spring sunshine with Ralf Little near the actor's home in West London


They met while filming the romantic comedy series Married Single Other. Now it appears that the relationship between stars Miranda Raison and Ralf Little has fallen firmly into the 'other' category.

Miranda, 30, who previously appeared in the BBC drama Spooks, is understood to have moved into Ralf's £500,000 West London home.

The pair were spotted walking hand-in-hand in the sunshine last week, dressed casually and wearing dark glasses.

However, they are unlikely to experience married life together in the near future.

Miranda is still married to actor Raza Jaffrey, although they separated after just two years.

Miranda met Jaffrey, 35, on the set of Spooks in 2005 but announced the breakdown of their marriage in November last year.

The split came a month after Jaffrey, who played undercover MI5 operative Zafar Younis, left the show amid claims that he had started spending increasingly more time away from his wife.

Miranda and Little, also 30, who made his name playing Anthony in the hit BBC comedy The Royle Family, are to said to have started dating weeks after the announcement of Miranda's marriage breakdown.

The couple met while filming their romantic comedy show in Leeds. The six-part series, about the lives of three couples who are either married, single or 'other', was broadcast on ITV1 earlier this year.

Miranda played a model named Abbey who captured the heart of Little's serial womaniser character Clint. She left Spooks earlier this year after spending four years playing junior case officer Jo Portman. In a dramatic exit, she was shot dead by colleague Ros Myers, played by Hermione Norris, while restraining a terrorist during a hostage drama.

Jaffrey, whose father is a retired ship's captain from Agra in India and whose mother is from Liverpool, went on from Spooks to play cuckolded husband Hari in the BBC drama Mistresses.

Miranda, from Norfolk, attended Stowe public school. Her father Nick is a jazz pianist and artist, while her mother Caroline read the news for Anglia TV.

Little was a semi-professional footballer before being given his break in acting by The Royal Family creator and co-star Caroline Aherne.

He has previously dated television presenter Lisa Rodgers and actress Sarah Churm.

Miranda's relationship with Jaffrey followed the romance between Matthew Macfadyen and Keeley Hawes, who also married after meeting on Spooks.

At the time, Jaffrey joked there must be 'something in the canteen tea'.
