Towie’s Lydia Bright finally moves on from James ‘Arg’ Argent with rugby hunk Thom Evans
Lydia and Thom couldn’t take their hands off of each other when they went on a bar crawl in central London with their friends
LYDIA Bright and rugby star Thom Evans looked totally loved up on a recent night out with their friends.
Walking from London’s Archer Bar to Freedom Bar, the rugby player wrapped his arm protectively around Lydia as they strolled down the street.
Lydia looked stunning in a pretty black dress which she pared with a white shirt and monochrome stilettos, while Thom dressed up his jeans with a smart jacket.
The new couple were joined by a group of friends on the night out but they seemed to only have eyes for each other, with Lydia appearing engrossed with Thom as they stood outside a busy bar.
Lydia and Thom met after appearing on Bear Grylls’ gruelling TV show The Island with eight other celebrities, including Ollie Locke, JLS’ Aston Merrygold and comedian Dom Joly.
Speaking about their time on the show, Lydia admitted: “It was the toughest thing we’ve done in our whole lives.
“The first day, we thought – this is easy, we’ll find the camp, the water…Between 10 of us we lost around 20 stone.”
Despite being linked to Georgia May Foote earlier this week, it seems Thom now only has eyes for Lydia.
And, if things keep hotting up between them, this could be former Towie star Lydia’s first public romance since she split with James ‘Arg’ Argent.
The couple, who’d dated for seven years, finally split in May after The Sun revealed Lydia found Arg “out of it” at their home in Essex after she’d returned from an event.
An insider said: “Lydia and Arg have broken up and it’s for good this time.
“Lydia came home early from an event in London and found Arg a bit out of it. She’s absolutely devastated.”
Lydia went on to speak about their split on Lorraine, saying: “Me and James broke up nearly seven weeks ago.
“It was a tough decision to make but I felt like I didn’t have a choice. I’m stronger and happier now.”
Following the break, Lydia went on a holiday of a lifetime to Indonesia with her friends.
Sharing pictures of her trip on Instagram, Lydia wrote:” Life threw a massive curveball at me over six weeks ago. But I can now say I have healed and I am happy. Some things in life just aren’t meant to be.”
