The couple were introduced through a mutual friend and have been on several dates, the Sun on Sunday can reveal.

A source said: “It’s still pretty new but both Bev and James number two are really happy.

“He’s a lovely chap, and the pair have a lot of the same interests. He’s met nearly all her friends and they think he’s brilliant too.”

The couple - pictured here at Chris Evans’ Carfest which she was presenting alongside the Virgin DJ - have been dating for around two months.
