Russell T Davies and his boyfriend Oliver Cole enjoyed a speedboat ride as they jetted off on a romantic trip to Venice this weekend.
The Doctor Who show runner, 62, went Instagram official with aspiring model Oliver, 27, over Christmas in 2025 as he shared a selfie of the pair and penned: ‘Merry Christmas! From me & Oliver’.
