Kelly Brook and David McIntosh bonded again after they became victims of the recent hacking scandal.

The couple, who called off their engagement last month, rekindled their romance last week after they clung to each other for support when naked photographs of them were leaked online after Kelly's iCloud account was targeted by unidentified hackers.

A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "They had a bit of a spat over the pictures, but the thing was that it got them talking again.

"It was quite traumatic for them and to share something like that got the relationship going again. They were engaged and set to marry this year, so they did have a lot of feelings for each other.

"When they reached out for each other during this difficult time, they found love again."

David initially accused his former fiancée of leaking the photos online herself, writing on Twitter: "silly me for sending pictures to someone I thought I could trust but then would leak them #byaccident (sic)."

Kelly then hit back with the tweet: "Your Ego is beyond. David all my US iCloud pics are online not just of you. Be a grown up (sic)."

However, the pair fuelled rumours they were giving their relationship another go earlier this week after they were spotted enjoying a cosy date in Los Angeles, where Kelly is filming the US sitcom 'One Big Happy.'

A source said previously: "They are back on and giving things another go. They met up to talk and realised how much they'd missed each other."
