Chris Hughes was spotted enjoying a steamy date in London with underwear model Mary Bedford earlier this week, four months after his split from Jesy Nelson.

As his ex-girlfriend settles into a new high-profile romance with actor Sean Sagar, Love Island hunk Chris, 27, was seen stepping out with a new blonde beauty.

A source told The Sun of the budding lovebirds’ night on the town: ‘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.’

MailOnline has contacted a representative for Chris Hughes for comment.

News of the date comes after Chris was said to be ‘gutted’ that Jesy, 29, had moved on so quickly after their 16-month union came to an end in April. 

The singer is said to have ended the relationship over the phone after the romance ‘run its course’.

A source told MailOnline at the time: ‘She split up with him last week in a phone call, as she thought the relationship had run its course.

‘There are no hard feelings. Jesy said he was surprisingly fine about it and thinks she will stay friends with him.’ 

After her split from Chris, Jesy was said to have signed up for exclusive, invitation-only dating app Raya, favoured by celebrities because of its privacy.

Jesy and Chris went public with their romance in January 2019, when they were seen enjoying a steamy date in a kebab shop, after weeks of rumours around the union.

Little Mix singer Jesy’s new romance was confirmed this month, weeks after she ‘adamantly denied’ a romance with the hunky television star.

Her representative told MailOnline at the time: ‘Jesy has adamantly denied that she is dating Sean Sagar, and states that they are just friends.’   

Sean is known to many for his role as Private Jaiden ‘Monk’ Montgomery in the BBC series Our Girl opposite Michelle Keegan and also appeared in the Guy Ritchie film The Gentlemen earlier this year.
