The 39-year-old beauty - who recently starred on 'Strictly Come Dancing' - has been on several secret dates with Kelly Brook's ex-boyfriend, and friends close to the pair have described their relationship as "serious and intense".

An insider said: "Kirsty and Cips have been seeing a lot of each other. They tried to keep it quiet initially but have started to let quite a lot of people know."

The duo are reported to have recently spent a weekend together at the West Country home of Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall.

A source told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: "They had a great time and looked like a couple in the first flush of romance."

Kirsty - who married her estranged husband, rugby player Paul Sampson, in 2010 - recently revealed she was "open" to finding a new love.

She said: "I'm single and I'm not looking for anyone at the moment, but I'm open to it.

"I have dated this year and, after 15 years with just one person, it was interesting. It's fun and exciting, but I tried not to put any pressure on myself and I learned you should only do it if it's right. We'll see what happens."
