Strictly’s Karen Hauer confirms romance with rugby star as he arrives to support her on Strictly tour
STRICTLY Come Dancing pro Karen Hauer has been joined by her rugby star boyfriend during the show's arena tour.
The 41 year old had been rumoured to be loved up with ex rugby star Simon Davidson, 34, and the pair have now confirmed their romance after linking up at the Strictly stars' hotel in Birmingham.
Karen and Simon looked every inch the loved-up couple as they cuddled up to one another as they strolled out of the city centre hotel.
The former sports star was tagging along in order to give a boost of support to Karen as the tour got underway.
Having played rugby professionally, Simon currently works as a senior marketing manager for the Adidas brand.
Both Karen and Simon opted for large coae s to keep themselves warm from the chilly winter blast as they clutched onto takeaway coffee cups as they left the premises.

Karen stood out in a bright yellow number as she headed off to the venue for the day's show.
Her hunky new man kept close to her as they mingled and chatted with some of Karen's pals.
The Sun first revealed that Karen's mystery man was Simon after the pair were snapped leaving the BBC show's final together in December.
It comes just three months after the dancer split from her third husband, fitness professional Jordan Wyn-Jones.
