HE went on Love Island for romance in 2017 but Chris Hughes is making do with pulling girls here in Blighty this year.
The reality star split from Jesy Nelson in April after 16 months together but he has now moved on with underwear model Mary Bedford, who he was seen on a date with in London this week.
My exclusive photos show the couple embracing and sharing a smooch in the capital in his first romance since breaking up with Jesy.
An onlooker said: “Chris and Mary went out for a slap-up dinner and looked really close. They were kissing and cuddling and were all over each other when they headed out at the end of the evening.
“They headed off in a cab to the train station together and looked really sweet together. He even tied her shoelaces for her.”
Mary has carved out a career as an influencer and has racked up more than 150,000 followers on Instagram — and I can see why as she’s absolutely gorgeous.
Before Jesy, Chris had a seven-month relationship with Olivia Attwood, who he met on ITV2’s Love Island, before things ended in a series of fiery rows.
Olivia is now engaged to Bradley Dack, while Jesy has moved on with Our Girl actor Sean Sagar.
Speaking last month about his split from Jesy, Chris said: “I don’t think I’ve ever felt heartbroken or anything.
“And then a couple of weeks down the line, you start thinking about it less and less. And the next thing, you’re good as gold.” He certainly seems over Jesy now.
LITTLE Mix are taking us all on the trip of a lifetime with their new video, which is just as well given getaways are tricky for most people this summer.
Jesy Nelson posed with bandmates Jade Thirlwall, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Perrie Edwards for the sexy shoot.
The stunning photo is from the new video for their single Holiday, which is out today.
It was in the making for weeks on end as the ladies had to socially distance on set, but experts edited it to make it look like they were side by side in the clip.
Perrie said: “We had to get our temperature taken. We had to stay far away from each other.
“So we were together, but we were distanced. It’s so clever how they’ve done it.”
KATIE Price has announced she is quitting the spotlight after breaking both of her feet.
A statement on her Instagram page said: “Katie is taking some time out. Her family and doctors have told Katie that she must rest in order to heal.”
KATY Perry is celebrating more than one big arrival this week.
Today she releases her fifth album Smile, having just given birth to her first child with fiancé Orlando Bloom.
They shared this black and white photo today as they announced that their daughter had arrived safely.
And they revealed they have named the baby Daisy Dove Bloom – three months after Katy put out a song called Daisies.
In a joint statement, the couple said: “We are floating with love and wonder from the safe and healthy arrival of our daughter.”
The name has another special meaning for the couple after Lord Of The Rings actor Orlando proposed with an ornate daisy engagement ring on Valentine’s Day last year.
After the news came out today, Amanda Holden revealed she had actually suggested the name back in June.
She shared a snippet of an interview they had done with Katy for Heart FM, in which the DJ told her: “I like Daisy Bloom because I think the surname of Bloom and daisies and flowers . . . and Perry-Bloom is a brilliant hyphen.”
Katy revealed in March that the couple were expecting through her video for the song Never Worn White.
The stress of releasing an album may have given Katy a few sleepless nights, but I’m sorry to say she should expect plenty more of them now their daughter is here.
DUA Lipa will tomorrow release her remix album Club Future Nostalgia in an attempt to bag a singing slot at an X-rated club at Glastonbury 2021.
I told last summer how Dua partied until 3am on the last day of the festival at kinky venue NYC Downlow, which features a “dark room” for punters to have sex in.
On the record, which features a series of remixes of songs from her No1 album Future Nostalgia, she said: “Future Nostalgia might get me a spot in a main tent at Glastonbury.
“But I’m hoping Club Future Nostalgia will get me down at NYC Downlow at five in the morning.”
AFTER the success of her meme-inspired T-shirt and sweater collection for In The Style, savvy Gemma Collins has negotiated herself another sweet deal.
I can reveal the ex-Towie star is bringing out her first full clothing line for the fashion giant, as part of a £500,000 link-up.
Bosses flew The GC to Greece at the start of the week to photograph her modelling the clothes, on sale soon.
An insider said: “She’s made a mint for In The Style – her meme range was a sell-out and stars like Little Mix’s Jade Thirlwall were seen wearing her designs.
“They were desperate to get her on board for a whole collection and Gemma signed without hesitation.
“She flew to Greece to shoot images and fans will get to see it all, as she’s filming the next run of her show Diva while out there.”
I feel sure there’ll be dramas.
