Diversity’s Perri Kiely dating stunning blonde he met doing panto – while still with ex
DIVERSITY star Perri Kiely is dating a stunning blonde actress he met while still with his ex Laura Smith.
The 27-year-old whisked new girlfriend Jess Pickles off to Milan for a romantic weekend away, just weeks after ending things with heartbroken Laura - who has slammed the way he treated her.
Perri grew close to Jess after meeting doing panto in Southend with the rest of Diversity last year.
He spent Christmas with Laura, who was his first ever girlfriend, before suddenly ending things.
An insider said: “Perri really hit it off with Jess while working with her and even invited her to the Diversity Christmas party.
“Everyone was really shocked when he dumped Laura and even more surprised that he took Jess on holiday already.

“Laura has been blindsided by the whole thing.”
Over the weekend Perri shared numerous pictures from his romantic looking trip and gave away glimpses of Jess.
In one snap a woman who appears to be Jess is seen walking down the stairs – and her screensaver seems to have a picture of herself and Perri on it.
In a now deleted post, his ex Laura wrote: “I am trying very hard and heal from my relationship and the way that I was treated.
