Girls Aloud singer Nadine Coyle has secretly been dating a handsome model and backing dancer.
The 22-year-old pop star - who split from 'Desperate Housewives' actor Jesse Metcalfe last month - is reportedly smitten with 26-year-old hunk Jamie Karitzis after their friendship recently blossomed into romance.
A source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "Nadine and Jamie have been friends for about a year now. They dated for a couple of months last year during one of her splits with Jesse but work commitments put an end to that quickly.
"They hadn't seen each other for ages but stayed in touch. Nadine really likes him and they've been on a few dates over the last couple of weeks, but she wants to take things slowly."
Jamie, from Crawley, West Sussex, has worked as a backing dancer for several music stars, including Kylie Minogue, and last year starred on TV talent show 'Dirty Dancing: The Time of Your Life'.
His profile on the show's website reads: "He is charismatic, confidant, handsome and one of our most talented and experiences dancers. Jamie's been a backing dancer for a number of big name artists - now he thinks it's his time to be the star."
Last Friday (01.02.08), Nadine - who dated Jesse on and off for two years - was spotted kissing another mystery man outside a London nightclub.
