Laurence Fox ‘head over heels’ for Vogue Williams as they strike up romance after his divorce from Billy Piper
The pair are officially dating after romance blossomed when they met on Bear Grylls: Mission Survive last year
WHEN BILLIE PIPER moved on with rocker JOHNNY LLOYD, actor LAURENCE FOX wasn’t seen wandering the streets humming Honey To The Bee to an old photo of his ex-wife.
That’s because he was secretly developing his friendship with model VOGUE WILLIAMS into a full-on romance.
I can reveal the pair are now officially dating after months of flirty nights out.
Lewis star Laurence has genuinely fallen for Vogue, former wife of WESTLIFE star BRIAN McFADDEN, who has helped put a smile back on his face since his divorce.
A source said: “It’s very early days but both Laurence and Vogue consider themselves an item. They’re enjoying spending time together and have had some great nights out.
"It’s very recently turned into a romance because they get on so well.
“Laurence finds Vogue hilarious and they have so much fun.
"The fact they were both experiencing big break-ups at the same time only strengthened their bond and eased the pain they were feeling.”
I first told you the pair, who met on Bear Grylls: Mission Survive last year, were starting to get close in April — a month after Laurence and Billie, who have two young kids, announced they were separating.
Perhaps wary of the time frame from the break-up, Vogue was keen to play down the idea of a relationship, going as far as describing my story as “ridiculous”.
But fast forward six months, Vogue is happy to go public with Fox by posting snaps of their dates on social media, including two recently, left — one in the evening, the other, tellingly, the following morning.

The reality star got divorced from Brian in July last year after being married for just three years.
During an appearance on Loose Women in August the singer confirmed there was no chance the couple could reconcile, saying: “I think before there may have been some unfinished business but we have both now moved on.”
They certainly have.
Drake's new love
THEY became one of pop’s favourite couples when he declared his love for her on stage at the MTV Video Music Awards in August.
But DRAKE and RIHANNA have called it quits – for now at least.
US sources have revealed their romance has fizzled out due to their hectic schedules – despite getting matching tattoos last month.
The rapper is now believed to be seeing model INDIA LOVE, who is a very popular woman – with more than 2.5million followers on Instagram.
Let’s hope she caught the message RiRi posted on the site last week: “None of my exs are married or in happy relationships so it’s safe to say that I wasn’t da problem lol.”
I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s twerking on him again by the end of the month.
Its Ball over for Camilla
AFTER years of performing opera classics at the Palace, CAMILLA KERSLAKE is something of a royal darling.
But she might struggle to get a thumbs-up from The Queen after her latest image overhaul.
The girlfriend of England rugby ace CHRIS ROBSHAW, below, is now free from the restraints of ballgowns – and isn’t worried about offending her stuffy former fanbase.
She said: “I just want to wear what I want to wear, not a ballgown that I can’t breathe in or barely walk in.
“I’m not going to do anything overtly sexual for the shock factor because what is the point? But if it suits the music, I’ll be on stage in next to nothing.
“I need to be taught how to shake my a**e. Although, I will twerk for The Queen. I feel like she’d like it.”
Camilla isn’t afraid of showcasing her femininity on new single Little Red, which she wrote as a comeback to sexist songs by male artists.
She said: “I wanted to point out that men aren’t the ones who do the hunting. I wanted an equal song out there.
“Where men are like, ‘Yeah, we’re going to find women and do stuff to them’, I’m gonna be like, ‘Actually, we have a female sexuality and we’re the ones who choose, so pipe down alpha male types.’
“I mean that Wiggle song by JASON DERULO makes me want to shoot myself in the face.
He’s been told.
Where's the mas-Cara?
HOPEFULLY CARA DELEVINGNE had a mattress in her sights out in New York on Monday. The make-up-free supermodel looked worn out in this green sweater suit and had serious bedhead.
Cara has made no attempt to hide her pain following her split from girlfriend ST VINCENT, who has been spending one-on-one time with KRISTEN STEWART and even accompanied her to the premiere of her new film, Certain Women, at the New York Film Festival last week.
Cara took to Instagram to praise the strength of fellow newly-single lady ANGELINA JOLIE yesterday. She wrote: “I admire Angelina Jolie endlessly, I admire anyone who transforms their pain into power.”
I’ve no doubt with time Cara will do the same.
Now we're the Thrice Girls
GERI HORNER reckons the SPICE GIRLS can be thrice as nice in their newly slimmed-down format.
She dismissed claims that she, MEL B and EMMA BUNTON are in talks with the BBC to hold auditions for new members after admitting the platform shoes of VICTORIA BECKHAM and MELANIE C were simply too big to fill.
Geri – who is expecting her first child with F1 boss CHRISTIAN HORNER, and is already mum to ten-year-old daughter Bluebell – said: “We would never do that.
“There is no way we could ever replace Sporty or Posh. They’re one of a kind.”
Meanwhile, Emma has reassured Spice fans their reunion plans will not be panned following Geri and Christian’s new arrival.
Emma – already mum to sons Beau, nine, and Tate, five – said: “I’ve known for a while and I’ve had to keep it a secret, so it’s wonderful that it is out in the open. We’re all working mothers, so we kind of do what we need to do.
“There are millions of working mothers out there.
“I went back on tour after Beau, I think it was eight weeks.”
That’s serious girl power.
Justin Reader
JUSTIN BIEBER certainly didn’t make a spectacle as he touched down in London.
He was pictured stepping off a private jet at Luton Airport ahead of the first UK concert of his Purpose world tour last night.
And instead of binge-watching flicks on the plane, he donned glasses to read Christianity book Occupy All Streets by New York pastor Carl Lentz.
After kicking off the UK leg at The O2, he will continue his run of shows in Birmingham, Manchester, Sheffield and Glasgow throughout the month before moving on to Europe in November.
At least he’s got plenty of reading to keep him entertained while on the road.
