Sources say Summer has stayed there,and been seen carrying in her personal items.

It follows their romantic break to Mauritius, where they made waves on a boat trip — the first time they’ve been pictured together.

Instagram pics, which surfaced while they were on the break, showed Summer in a red swimsuit emblazoned with Cake Cake.

And we can reveal it is a declaration of her devotion for Paul.

A source explained:“In their early days together, she had his number saved in her phone as Cake Cake which is her nickname for him.”

The source added: “Like millions of other women, Summer is in love with Paul’s baby blue eyes.

“She says she loves how he makes her feel.

"Everyone is watching to see how long it lasts.”

The Sun on Sunday told last week how Paul secretly whisked Summer to the Indian Ocean paradise isle after she first flew to the US.

On the boat trip Summer wore tight-fitting denim shorts and a swimsuit while Paul relaxed in shades and an orange T-shirt.

They were later seen returning to the public beach at the £1,000-a-night Four Seasons Hotel.

Their luxury villa at the resort boasted a plunge pool.

The pair dined privately most nights, keen not to draw attention to themselves.

They flew back to Heathrow together but were careful to exit the terminal separately a few minutes apart.

Summer was spotted talking excitedly into her phone.

Paul has tried keeping the romance a secret by living in rural obscurity following his marriage split.

His £300,000 rented cottage in Kent is tucked away behind gates and accessible only by a single-track road.

Paul’s only neighbour is his landlord whose manor and stables are on the same parcel of land.

Photos taken last week show Hollywood enjoying an afternoon spin in his blue £200,000 Lamborghini Huracan.

The flash motor is the latest addition to his fleet which includes a Rolls-Royce and Aston Martin.

The source added: “Paul is apparently very caring and attentive when they are together.

“There is a sense of adventure for Summer because of all his fast cars.

"But she is less enthused by Paul’s motorbikes — she just isn’t the biker type.

“She owns horses so it’s a dream for her to be on a farm with stables.

“There isn’t a day when she isn’t out galloping the countryside.”

Before meeting Paul, Summer lived with her parents a short stroll from the Duke William Pub where she worked in picturesque Ickham, Kent.

It is understood her mum and stepdad, who is the same age as Paul, have met the telly star and given their blessing for the relationship to continue despite the age gap.

News of the rural hideaway will further devastate Paul’s ex-wife Alexandra, 53, who is caring for their 16-year-old son Josh a few miles away in the £1.5million home they bought before the break-up.

Some think Paul is keen to keep his relationship with Summer low-key while the dust settles on his £5million divorce.

The couple announced they were calling it quits last year after 20 years of marriage.

Paul met Summer just before the split when she had her job pulling pints in the Duke William.

Rumours of their closeness swept the village after the pair were noticed sharing private moments in a cosy nook while she cleared glasses.

Sources say the relationship took off following his marriage split, though Paul’s PR machine denied they were dating back in November.

The Sun on Sunday can reveal Paul is relieved Summer has now quit her bar job after he got a ribbing from colleagues.

A source said: “Paul used to moan because men were always trying to chat her up.

“Obviously, it was part of her job to talk to the customers and he had no control over that.

“But now people are wondering why they still need to sneak around and hide everything?

“He is obviously grateful to have a beautiful young girl paying him all this attention.

"But why doesn’t he just come out and declare his love for her?”

Paul is the only Bake Off star to stick by the show after it switched from BBC to Channel 4.

He is believed to earn £400,000 a year to host alongside Sandi Toksvig, Noel Fielding and Prue Leith.

Summer has previously praised Paul for turning her “from a girl into a woman”.

In a now-deleted Instagram post on New Year’s Eve she wrote: “I can only thank the people that are close to me.

“Including my amazing boyfriend.

"You have turned me from a girl to a woman, and to a house woman.

"I love you so much! This post is not for likes but the love of my life.
 “I am truly a lucky girl and have the best things and people and animals around me.”

Ex in-aw: 'Fling will end in tears'

The brother of Paul's estranged wife Alex has dismissed his romance with Summer saying: “I’m sure it will all end in tears.”

Simon Moores’ comments to the Daily Mail suggest the break-up has turned nasty.

The Hollywoods appeared to have ended their 20-year union amicably in November.

 

They had patched up after he admitted cheating on her with US TV chef Marcela Valladolid in 2013.

But insiders claim Alex is furious at him for dating someone so young.

 

Paul first met barmaid Summer in 2017 after arranging a birthday party for Alex at their local pub.

 

They grew close after his marriage ended.
