It is his first relationship since wife Sara, 44, died of cancer in 2020.
Mum-of-two Clere, 43, was once linked with pop singer Dane Bowers and is based in Dubai.
She uses her contacts there to invest in London’s property market — and makes regular UK trips for work and to see Mark in Manchester, where the BBC broadcaster is based.
Mark had three children with wife of 19 years Sara.

“Mark’s focus has always been his children and work, so a relationship was unexpected.
“He and Clere are taking things slow and just seeing how it all plays out, but it’s clear to see they are really into each other.”
Mark, who had three children with wife of 19 years Sara, is a Radio 5 Live regular and occasionally steps in for Gary Lineker on Match of the Day.
