But as a single man and living in the world of selfies and dating apps, David says Dom is struggling to adjust.
In a separate interview with Inside Soap, David explained: “Dom’s a guy who has always struggled with feeling unloveable, and this pushes him to the limit.

David’s other major television role was playing Nathan in Doctor Who back in 2009. He’s also served as a voice actor in a Doctor Who video game.
In addition, he had a small role in the 2008 television movie He Kills Coppers.
Is David Ames married in real life?
David is not believed to be married. Like his character Dom, he is an openly gay man.
He was dating Mikey Kenny in 2019. But judging from his recent social media postings, he appears to be currently single.
The actor previously hit back at viewers’ complaints that there were ‘too many gay characters on Holby City’.
Speaking to Attitude magazine, David said: “Holby has too many gay characters.
“Take out the word gay and replace it with any other minority group and see how that sentence sounds.
“Holby doesn’t have too many gay characters – it has a well balanced, proportionate representation of society. This is nothing but bigotry.”
We don’t know much else about his personal life, other than that he said he was overweight prior to finding fame.
Speaking to Pink News, he said he was almost 16 stone as a student.
He explained: “When I finished university I was some 15 and a half stone. People looked at me differently when I was bigger.
Adding of his subsequent weight loss: “It wasn’t like ‘oh I can’t be a fat gay man’, it was ‘I want to feel comfortable in my own skin and at the moment, I don’t’.”
