Ranvir Singh has revealed she is in a new relationship with a man 18 years her junior- gushing: ‘I’m really happy’.
The Good Morning Britain presenter, 44, has spoken for the first time of her romance with toyboy Louis Church, 26, after they first met when he worked as a production secretary on last year’s Strictly, in which she competed with Giovanni Pernice.
And it appears their relationship is going from strength to strength with the pair reportedly attending Capital FM’s Jingle Bell Ball with Barclaycard at the weekend alongside her son Tushaan, 10.

Photos uploaded by Louis’ sister Saskia show the trio beaming in the back of the car as they attended his aunt’s wedding last week.
A source told The Sun: ‘Ranvir and Louis have been dating for a few months and are totally in love, she has met his family and went to his aunt’s wedding with him last week. And it’s obvious Louis has taken a real shine to Tushaan.
‘They’ve kept their romance out of the spotlight but when Ranvir was invited to go to the music event at O2 she wanted to go with Louis and her son.
‘They both are clearly madly in love and were holding hands nearly all day. They have incredible chemistry. Ranvir was beaming with happiness as she watched Louis and Tushaan together.’

The insider went on to say how Louis ‘looked really proud’ as Ranvir posed for photographs with fans and ‘seemed like a really happy family unit’.
As well as Strictly, Louis has worked as a runner for Soccer Aid and First Dates Hotel.
MailOnline has contacted Ranvir’s representatives for comment.
Their romance might comes as a surprise to many, given her sizzling chemistry with Giovanni, 31, on last year’s show.

The television personality, who confirmed her split from husband Ranjeet Singh Dehal just before her stint on the 2020 series, although they split years before that, previously spoke about how there will be a bond between her and Gio for life.
‘I think it’s because he had to find out a lot about me that went beyond just learning a routine and vice versa really,’ she said.
Yet two months after the show, Giovanni addressed romance rumours saying ‘there’s absolutely no way’ he’d date Ranvir.
Shutting down speculation they’re dating once and for all, the choreographer said: ‘No, no, no no no. I’m single, absolutely there’s no way [he would date Ranvir]. We are very very good friends.

‘Every time you get close in a rhumba or Argentine tango with your partner they try to make out a story. So if they think that there is a romance, it means we are doing it absolutely right.’
Last year, Ranvir spoke about the breakdown of her marriage. The former couple tied the knot in 2012. She told Woman And Home magazine: ‘It’s hard work being a working single parent.
‘I struggle with an enormous amount of guilt with my son and not being there when he goes to school. We’re very attached to one another because it’s just me and him.

‘I do get quite tearful sometimes and I worry he’s going to hate me when he grows up because I was never there.’
Ranvir said her reason behind not elaborating on the details of her split were down to the need to protect their son.
But she admitted it’s important to her that her only child hears the truth from her, rather than from gossip and said she’s open to talking more about the split in the future.
In December last year, Ranvir discussed her home life and said her focus is currently on her son and new dog Shmizzels.

She told Prima magazine: ‘Will there ever be any room for another person with my son and I? We have a dog now, too!
‘We got him in lockdown; he’s a little cockapoo called Shmizzels. He’s so cute and needy, the poor little thing. I love him and I can’t imagine life without him now.’
Ranvir also discussed how her work is hugely important to her and with being a single mother, she has little room in her life for much else.
Speaking of her successful broadcasting career, she said: ‘I’ve achieved loads and it’s been amazing, but it all takes it out of you. It leaves very little room for anything else, especially when you’re a single mum.’
Ranvir has always kept her former relationship private and her ex does not appear on her social media account at all. It is understood they split years ago but rumours had swirled about their separation earlier this year.
