Strictly Come Dancing star Mollie King secretly dating England cricketer Stuart Broad
STRICTLY’S Mollie King has been on secret dates with cricketer Stuart Broad.
The Saturdays singer, 30, and the England bowler, 31, are said to be smitten.
They know each other through the showbiz circuit and hooked up after he returned from the Ashes in Australia and her Strictly stint ended.
A source said: “It’s the early stages but they are both really into each other. It looks like a proper romance.
“Stuart has even said he could see himself settling down with Mollie if it all continues to go well.
“They are well-suited and make an attractive couple.”
Broad is off to New Zealand with England this month but the source said they will be in touch constantly.
He split from lingerie model Bealey Mitchell, a dead ringer for Mollie, in May after three years.
Mollie laughed off rumours of a romance with pro partner AJ Pritchard during her run to the Strictly semis.
She dated model David Gandy for five years to 2016 and was once linked to Prince Harry.
Earlier this year Mollie told The Sun on Sunday: “I don’t really like guys who play hard to get and I can’t be bothered to chase somebody.
"I’d rather somebody show me they’re interested.
“I’m really attracted to personality.
“The minute I meet someone I know if I’m attracted to them.”
Her spokesman declined to comment last night.
