There appears to be a new couple in celebland as former TOWIE star Lucy Mecklenburgh and gymnast Louis Smith are said to be dating.
The couple met on the set of Tumble, a BBC show axed after one season, where celebrities participated in gymnastics routines to win public votes.
Lucy was a contestant on the show and Louis had a judging role but according to reports, nothing happened between the pair during filming.
“There were lots of rumours about Louis and Lucy when he was judging Tumble and she was a contestant,’ a source told The Sun. ‘It’s true they were flirting but nothing happened”.
Louis posted the below photo to his Instagram account recently and it has to be said they make a lovely couple.
Aren’t they cute?!
Lucy reportedly rejected the idea of romance with the 2012 Strictly Come Dancing champion at the beginning because he is shorter than the guys she usually goes for.
However, it seems he has won her over, according to the insider.
Louis is a talented gymnast
“Louis got with someone straight after Tumble but they split and he bumped into Lucy. She must have forgotten about his size because sparks flew and they started dating”.
“He took her to a skating rink last Thursday, which is apt considering he’ll be on The Jump in the New Year.
“The way things are looking they could be together for a long time” continued the source.
