Who is Marie Hugo?

Marie is an artist who also goes by the name Marie Victorine and splits her time between London and her home country France.

At 16, she qualified for the Ecole Nationale des Beaux-arts de Montpellier, where she studied engraving and lithographic printing.

Marie then moved to the Far East and painted murals for the public order.

In the 1980s, Marie moved back to Europe - and went on to exhibit in New York, Tokyo and London.

Her notable works include a monumental installation for the Château de Haroué, near Nancy, in 2007 - and several private collections in Europe and the United States.

She works using the name Marie Hugo.

How long has Larry Lamb been dating Marie Hugo?

Larry was first pictured with Marie at a charity event in Hereford back in October 2016 - but and it is not known exactly how long they have been together.

He was believed to still be in a relationship with Clare, with whom he has two daughters, when he entered the jungle in November.

Larry has owned a house in Normandy, France, for the last 20 years - and his youngest children went to school there.

He is fluent in French and was seen nattering away to Marie in her native language on the jungle bridge as he left the ITV show in 2016.

Larry is yet to formally announce his split from long-term love Clare Burt

Is Larry Lamb married?

Larry has been married three times, after first tying the knot when he was just 21.

He later admitted that he had only wed Anita Wiseby because she had fallen pregnant.

Larry's second marriage was to an American nurse called Jacquie Parris, who he met while working as a car salesman in Germany.

Then, in 1979, Larry wed Irish singer Linda Martin - who he divorced in 1996.

Larry began dating Clare, who is best known for her role in The Bill, the same year.

The couple never married.
