The former 'Made in Chelsea' star - who has romanced the likes of Lucy Watson and Millie Mackintosh in the past - has bagged himself a new mystery lover and, although they haven't been together that long, she's already won over and got the seal of approval from his best friend Jamie Laing.

Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, Jamie, 27, said: "He's got a girlfriend at the moment. A French girl actually - he's going out with a French chick. She's very pretty and very lovely. Spenny just always wants to be in a relationship - he always has to be in a relationship that's what he's like."

And, although he's thrilled Spencer is in a new relationship, Jamie couldn't help but poke fun at the lothario when he was dramatically dumped by Vicky Pattison earlier this year.

The reality TV star said of his pal's heartache: "I found it hilarious. It's hilarious isn't it? Vicky's so great, he's so great, it didn't work between them but they're still close buddies. It's just funny because I don't think Spenny has ever been dumped. It's hilarious for him to be dumped.

"I think with anyone who gets dumped you're pride is going to hurt in some sort of way so. IT is what it is, I don't think he'll laugh about it but I'll laugh at him because of it.

"You can't really do much, if somebody doesn't want to be with you, you can't really fight it. You just have to move on to whoever he wants to go out with next."
