Towie’s Roman Hackett finds love with stunning brunette after split from ex Dani Imbert – and he wants her on ITVBe show
TOWIE star Roman Hackett has revealed that he's found love with a stunning brunette after his split from ex Dani Imbert.
The reality star - who enjoyed a brief romance with best pal Dani during the last series - has now moved on with a recruitment consultant.
Roman, 21, said he is even hoping that his new love interest will join him on the ITVBe reality show.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Roman said he met the Manchester-based beauty through mutual friends, before striking up a romance over the last two months.
When asked if he was in a relationship with the brunette stunner, Roman replied: "Yes. We met through our mutual friends – I have some friends from Manchester who live in Essex, and that’s where she's from.
"She comes and stays with me all the time - when I’m not busy, but I’ll be filming soon, and we’re going abroad for it."

The pair have been enjoying getting to know each other away from the spotlight.
Roman said he was keen to impress his new flame on their first date and splashed out on dinner at a swanky Mayfair restaurant.
He told us at the Copacabana London Cabaret Show: "We went to Inca restaurant in London. She’s 23. I’m 21. Older ladies are better, aren’t they?"
Roman is now hoping his new girlfriend will make her Towie debut this series as their romance heats up, despite ex Dani being a longstanding cast member on the show.

He continued: "She works in recruitment. I’m trying to force her to come onto the show, but she’s not sure.
"Of course I’d like her to come onto TOWIE, and I’m sure everyone else would as well.
"We’ve been dating for two months, but we made it official on Thursday, so we went for dinner and a show to celebrate."
Roman went on to say that he has closed the door on any future romance with Dani after the pair "fell out" and stopped talking.
Speaking about why he and Dani split, he said: "That’s done. We tried to push forward and then we just sort of fell out and I haven’t spoken to since then."
When asked if Dani knows if he has a new girlfriend, Roman replied: "Yes, I should hope so. She’s got a new boyfriend as well."
Meanwhile, Dani has wasted no time crying over her ex and has found herself a new hunky boyfriend.
Dani, 25, confirmed that her romance with Roman was officially over in April.
Last month the reality TV star shared a sweet snap of her with a new love interest.
During an Instagram Q&A, a fan wrote: "You seem happy, good to see you glow! Loved Sunday's ep."
Dani then answered back with a sweet photo of her with her new beau and penned: "The happiest, thank you."
The blonde beauty looked loved-up while holding hands with her new lover.
Just weeks before, she exclusively told The Sun that she has reunited with a mystery man she enjoyed a fling with before meeting Roman.
She said: "I am seeing someone else now to be completely honest.
"We knew each other before the whole me and Roman situation, we were kind of seeing each other."
Dani went on to admit that it hadn't been all plain sailing with the end of her romance with Roman revealing that an occurrence off camera forced her to call off their budding romance.
She added: "I called it off with him because I started seeing Roman - then this whole stuff happened off camera since we’ve been filming that stopped me and Roman from speaking again and then I started seeing the boy that I started seeing before."

After the on-off nature of their romance, Dani insisted to The Sun that Roman was no longer in the picture as she vowed to put all her focus into her brand new relationship.
Dani said: "To be honest that is where my head is at now. Roman is not in the picture at all and I’m quite happy with where I am at with this person at the moment."
