Towie star Lydia Bright shares loved up snaps with tattooed hunk as they take huge step in relationship

TOWIE star Lydia Bright shared a selection of loved up snaps with her tattooed hunk as they took a huge step in their relationship.

The 33-year-old first mentioned her new man Ben Davies earlier this month on Instagram as they celebrated six months together.

After keeping her new man under wraps for half a year, Lydia has now decided to tag the gardener in her posts.

The reality star was all smiles as she posed for a picture with Ben while having a bite to eat in Convent Garden, London.

Lydia wrote: "Now you are no longer my secret lover, we gotta get better at the couple pictures for the gram @bdlandscapesltd 🫶🏻."

Earlier this month the mum-of-one went public with Ben as she shared an adorable video explaining why she loves him.

The TV star captured sweet scenes showing the hunky landscape gardener carrying her four-year-old daughter Loreta on his shoulders during an evening stroll.

She confessed: "There are so many reason why I love you, but this is my number one."

Ben was quick to reply with a trio of red hearts and the words: "Love you."

Lydia shares her daughter Loretta with her ex boyfriend Lee Cronin.

The new couple were first linked last month.

 reported how the pair "couldn't keep their hands off each other" at Essex restaurant Sheesh, while her ex James Argent's group, The Arg Band, were playing.

A source told them: "Lydia couldn't keep her hands off Ben… and she certainly didn't seem to mind that her ex was just a few feet away.

"They were passionately kissing right in front of where James was performing with The Arg Band, which didn't go unnoticed by other guests at the event.

"Lydia and James have been close friends for years and are comfortable with the fact they have both moved on in life, although it can still be awkward to see your ex with someone new.

"It's taken Lydia years to go public with a partner… it was clear from how affectionate they were together that their relationship is serious."

Lydia and Arg dated between 2002 and 2012, then again between 2015 and 2016.

Their relationship played out on ITVBe's Towie.

She appeared on the show between 2010 and 2012, for a short stint in 2013 and then again from 2014 to 2017.
