Remember TOWIE’s Tom Kilbey? Lydia Bright’s ex-boyfriend is now INSANELY hot (and he’s got a new hairdo)

Tom spends his time hanging out with A-listers in Los Angeles and working on his very trendy clothing line

HE was the handsome, floppy-haired hunk who wooed Lydia Bright.

But after Tom Kilbey bowed out of The Only Way Is Essex in 2012, he has remained relatively out of the spotlight.

The 25-year-old, who starred in the hit ITV reality show alongside his older sister Cara, first appeared on our TV screens during series three and left to pursue other projects.

Now, four years on, Tom is busy hanging out with A-listers in Los Angeles and working on his very trendy clothing line.

Tom, who used to play professional football for Millwall and Portsmouth, runs an apparel brand called MERGe.

The range, which is reminiscent of Kanye West’s eponymous label, features satin bombers, army-print jackets, skinny jeans and black baseball caps.

Tom models a lot of the wares himself on his Instagram page, pouting at the camera to show his chiselled cheekbones and splattering of stubble.

He is barely recognisable in some candid snaps that show him with a platinum blonde quiff.

Tom’s feed also features a number of gorgeous head shots of Hollywood beauty Jessica Lowndes - however she has denied they are an item.

She told : “He’s been my friend for years because he’s friends with my really close friend Jamie Shepherd.

“He’s a really good photographer, and I love working with him.

“He’s in LA and I think we’re going to be doing some photoshoots and music stuff, but he’s just a really good friend.”

Tom dated Lydia for over a year but she decided to call off their romance in 2013 citing a hectic work schedule and “silly bickering”.

The 26-year-old recently fell into bed with ex-boyfriend James ‘Arg’ Argent while in Marbella, Spain - a tryst she regrets.

She said: “Arg ended up staying… it’s the worst mistake of my life. I feel really s***.”
