Kirsty Gallacher looks ‘smitten’ as she cuddles up to ex-rugby player boyfriend while on a stroll in London

KIRSTY Gallacher cuddles up to her new boyfriend as they step out for a walk around London.

The Smooth Radio host, 48, was with ex-rugby player Darren Clayton, 38, on Wednesday.

The pair have been dating for several months and recently enjoyed a romantic trip to Devon.

Darren was a flanker for Surrey club Esher and now runs sports event group Zeus alongside former England captain Chris Robshaw, 38.

An onlooker said: “Darren seemed very protective of Kirsty wrapping an arm around her and planting a kiss affectionately on her head.

"They are clearly smitten.”

Kirsty, daughter of Scots golf icon Bernard, has two sons by her former rugby player ex Paul Sampson, 43. They split in 2015 after 15 years.

She has previously been linked to boxing champion Johnny Nelson, 57, Laurence Fox, 46, and was spotted having a date with Paddy McGuinness, 51, last year.

Last year Kirsty, the mother of two teenage boys, admitted she found her divorce “devastating”.

She said: “I was grieving and mourning.”
