The pair were joined by fellow singer John Newman, 28, who shared cosy snaps of Lee with his new catch on social media.
She later posted a video herself alongside love hearts, with sources saying they are hitting it off despite his crush on Strictly professional dance partner Nadiya Bychkova, who is married.
A source said: “Diora’s an upcoming model in Europe so it’s no surprise she caught Lee’s eye when they met.
“They got chatting and really hit it off when and he quickly asked her out, and they already look like a long-term couple — they couldn’t keep their hands off each other on Saturday.

“He’s always been very charming and a bit of a ladies’ man, but she is enjoying herself too and they were happy to pose up for pics together.
“It’s still early days but Diora and Lee are getting to know each other and exchanging lots of messages inbetween his Strictly training.”
Lee’s new romance with Diora, who is representing her country at the Miss USSR Monaco 2018 pageant, comes after The Sun revealed he was desperate to partner up with Ukrainian pro dancer Nadiya, 29, after developing a crush on her.
However telly sources say the pair haven’t gelled to the extent Lee had hoped for after securing the former Playboy girl as his partner.
