Nicole and Thom first met when he appeared as a contestant on the celebrity edition of the ITV talent contest The X Factor.

Thom sang as part of the rugby boyband, Try Star, in 2019 alongside Ben Foden and Levi Davis.

Shortly after, Nicole was left smitten with Thom and a romance quickly blossomed.

The Sun exclusively revealed how the pair have enjoyed a string of romantic evenings together – including the one on December 8, 2019 where they were pictured “kissing non-stop”.

Show insiders say the pair flirted and texted for weeks before Thom finally asked out the 44-year-old singer.

Nicole has achieved a wealth of success from the dizzying heights of life in the Pussycat Dolls before finding even bigger success as a judge on the popular singing contest.

Thom spent most of his career playing for Glasgow Warriors and made ten test appearances for Scotland also.

He was forced to retire from the sport he loved at the age of 24 following an injury he sustained in a game playing for Scotland against Wales.

He previously said about his Scottish roots in an interview with : “I was born in Zimbabwe. My parents live in Portugal. I went to school in England and played for Scotland, so it was a crazy mix.

“Both sets of grandparents are Scottish. So even though I have this crazy sort of upbringing, Scotland is where my roots come from.”
