The hunk is the son of Patricia Scotland who was the Attorney General under then Prime Minister Gordon Brown between 2007 and 2010 and married to fellow barrister Richard, brother of former Tory chairman Brian.

An onlooker at last night’s party at MNKY HSE club said: “They were all over each other.

“This was the first time she’d been out in public with him.”

Baroness Scotland was fined £5,000 in 2009 for employing an illegal immigrant whilst Attorney General and in 2016 it was revealed she had claimed £338,000 in expenses for a refurb in her Mayfair home including £307 on a toilet seat whilst Commonwealth secretary general.

Matthew’s swanky lifestyle is for all to see as he shows off the benefits of mixing it with the upper class on Instagram.

He’s shared pictures of him at Buckingham Palace, Marlborough House in Pall Mall, a party at St James’s Palace in the presence of Princess Alexandra and meeting former US President Bill Clinton.

Made In Chelsea star Tina, 22, who used to go out with Pippa Middleton’s brother-in-law Spencer Matthews, told the Sun the pair had been dating for a while.

Asked where they met, she said: “At a bar. I walked over he was talking to one of my friends and I was like, 'hello'.”

It comes after she had been dating fellow Made In Chelsea star Alik Alfus.

The American confirmed the story in April, insisting they were just at the “casual” stage.

At the time he said: “It's completely casual at the moment.

“She's a great girl. A whole lot of fun to be around, a lot of fun to play with and there's nothing locked down.

“I'm a New Yorker in a new city doing my thing on a TV show and painting so odds are I'm going to be confronted with some women.”
