Harry Potter’s Draco Malfoy actor Tom Felton dashes rumours he’s dating Emma Watson after signing up to dating app Raya
HE might have played Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter for a decade, but it turns out Tom Felton needs a bit more than a magic touch when it comes to finding a girlfriend.
I can reveal the actor has signed up to celebrity dating app Raya in a bid to find love.
A source said: “Tom’s a great-looking guy with a good personality. But he’s struggled to find someone to connect with.
“Being an actor can be a hard life with travelling and being away for extended periods of time, so he’s looking for someone who gets that lifestyle.
“He also needs someone who understands what it’s like to be in the spotlight.”
Last summer Tom started to grow close to his Harry Potter co-star Emma Watson, who played Hermione Granger in the wizarding films based on the books by JK Rowling.
The pair sent fans into a frenzy after posting a series of sweet snaps together last year, including one of Tom teaching Emma how to play guitar.
They also holidayed together in South Africa, which led some to believe they might be taking their friendship to the next step.
But after Emma confirmed she was trying “self-partnering for size”, Tom insisted they’d only ever been friends.
He said last November: “She’s an incredibly smart and lovely young lady, so it’s always nice to bump into each other and slightly reminisce about old times, but also about looking forward to the future.
“I think in this day and age it’s not a necessity to be with someone just for the sake of being with someone.”
Now Tom is on the A-list version of Tinder, female stars who could be a match include Rebel Wilson, Nadine Coyle and Kelly Osbourne. Looks like Tim will be spoilt for choice.
Meghan's new album flops at 41
AFTER signing up as a coach on The Voice UK, Meghan Trainor had hoped the primetime telly role would boost her music comeback.
But her third studio album, Treat Myself, has spectacularly flopped and failed to make the Top 40 yesterday.
The US singer, famed for her hits including All About That Bass and Lips Are Movin’, is only just outside it, as The Official Charts company confirmed the album had gone in at 41.
A music insider said: “This is devastating for Meghan as she’d pinned a lot on this. She’s worked really hard on this record and had hoped the exposure of The Voice and being so present in the UK would give her a real boost. Meghan will get over it and she’ll keep working hard on her music but it was a really disappointing day for her.”
To add insult to injury, Meghan’s album has actually been beaten by previous winners of the singing competition, which began on BBC and is now screened on ITV. The show has become notorious for having winners with zero chart success.
Stevie McCrorie , the winner of the 2015 series, managed to get to No35 with his debut offering Big World, while 2013 victor Andrea Begley got to No7 with her album The Message.
Indie band Blossoms had more luck, however, as they scored their second No1 album with Foolish Loving Spaces. The Stockport group said: “Thanks to everyone who bought it. You’ve made us five the happiest lads in the world.”
Kim's kneesy money
SHE is the queen of mirror selfies – so it is smalls wonder Kim Kardashian looks picture perfect in this new snap. The US reality star posed in a pair of midnight blue undies from her Skims shapewear collection.
Kim has just dropped the second range from the sell-out line and posted this shot from her closet on Instagram to help promote it. She then captioned the snap: “Stretch satin from Skims is the perfect Valentines gift.”
I bet it is, Kim. Her latest venture is expected to boost her bank balance by millions, with some even predicting she will hit the jackpot like her sister Kylie Jenner and become a billionaire before the year is out.
When it comes to Kim, I wouldn’t put anything past her. Everything she touches seems to turn to gold.
Kelly's strip show
STEREOPHONICS got a rude awakening at a gig in Denmark – when a fan turned up naked.
Singer Kelly Jones was not sure where to look when he spotted the starkers bloke during the Welsh rockers’ set at the Roskilde Festival. In a chat with Absolute Radio, airing tomorrow at 8pm, he said: “There was a guy on another guy’s shoulders with a wig on with his chopper hanging down.
That was the moment I thought, we’ve arrived.”
Now there’s an image.
Niall takes a bow
NIALL Horan should take a leaf out of Harry Styles’ book and have a go at acting if his latest music video is anything to go by. The former One Direction star dropped his new track No Judgement yesterday.
The hilarious video, which has him dressed in a dinner jacket and bow tie watching two OAPs falling in love, is just brilliant.
As well as sobbing over their budding romance and pretending to be lord of a very impressive manor, Niall manages to hold back a hurl after seeing the couple eat prawns from each other’s toes.
It really is as grim as it sounds. Niall said of the catchy new track: “When you’re with me, there’s no judgment. There’s enough people judging, so you don’t need to be judged by me.”
This is a sure-fire hit – and the video is a must-see.
Sean calls on love villa
HE’S the rapper who urged people to Get Busy and raise the Temperature.
So it’s only fitting Sean Paul would be drafted in to play for the latest batch of Love Island hopefuls in South Africa.
The reggae star performed with Tove Lo on new song Call On Me, which viewers will see tomorrow.
In an exclusive chat he said: “It’s a big show and I loved the opportunity to perform for people and present new music, so I’m very appreciative of it. I got to perform for an enthusiastic lot, which is cool.
“The new track, which I’m buzzing to perform, has a nice vibe overall and I’m glad to do it for the first time. It’s a more meaningful song. It’s about being there for people – family, friends and my fans.”
Jamaican-born Sean entered the villa as part of a Love Island and Spotify partnership, which has launched the Sounds Of Love Island playlist.
Asked what advice he would give the islanders, Sean said: “Try to be the best version of you for the other person. Because love is a two-way street.”
The way this lot keep chopping and changing, they’d do well to take heed of his pearls of wisdom.

Kesha setback
KESHA has been dealt a devastating blow in her legal battle against producer Dr Luke after a judge ruled she had defamed him.
In a text sent to Lady Gaga in 2016, she had claimed that Dr Luke – real name Lukasz Gottwald – raped Katy Perry.
MOST READ IN BIZARRE
But a US judge noted: “Perry unequivocally testified that Gottwald did not do so” and ruled the claim a “false statement”. Kesha was told to pay £290,000 in interest on late royalties.
Kesha, who has vowed to appeal the ruling, has been locked in a legal battle with Dr Luke since 2014 in a row over recording contracts.
She also accused the producer of sexual assault and battery. Dr Luke countersued for defamation.
