LOVE Island bombshell Matilda Draper has gone Instagram official with her TOWIE boyfriend after posting a loved-up snap.
The ITV2 show star teased her romance with Roman Hackett, 22, after she was captured in a recent embrace with the model.
Eagle-eyed social followers of the pair noticed the female cuddled up with the TV hunk wore some jazzy trousers – which Matilda, 24, posted to her page on the same day.
Now the Love Island stunner has confirmed their romance after uploading a sweet new snap at a glam event for fashion brand Oh Polly.
It showed Matilda dressed in a red asymmetric mini dress paired with strappy sandals and a clutch bag.
Roman, meanwhile, donned a cream suit, white shirt and smart black shoes.
He stood protectively behind the reality star before they posed for a series of fun snaps in a photobooth.
NEW GIG
It came after The Sun was first to report how the brunette recruitment consultant was tipped for a spot on TOWIE.
If she accepted the gig, she would be the seventh Love Island alumni to join the ITVBe series.
An insider said at the time: “Roman and Matilda Draper have been on several secret dates, now bosses are lining her up to join the cast of Towie.
“They always want the cast to bring their real love lives on screen.
“Love Island proved Matilda’s not shy of getting into drama and he’s really into her – he’s really into her, so when they start filming the new series, bosses are hoping she’ll make an appearance.”
It comes after Matilda split with ITV2 show partner Sean Stone in August.
She proved hugely popular with viewers – who were then left stunned after she was accused of dumping the sweet seller by text shortly after filming wrapped.
