Mario Falcone is dating Nicola McLean.

The reality TV star is said to be getting close to the 'Celebrity Big Brother' housemate, and he has reportedly been comforting her following her split from husband Tom Williams.

A source told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: "Nicola has had a rough time lately because of everything she's been through with her husband Tom Williams.

"She's now single and is enjoying attention from a good-looking guy like Mario.

"They've spent the past few days publicly flirting on Twitter and made it clear there is a sexual attraction between them."

Meanwhile, the pair were spotted out partying on Friday (22.08.14), and it is said Mario drove her home after their night out.

The insider added: "Mario was protective of Nicola while they were in the club together on Friday.

"At the end of the night he drove her home and gave her a goodnight kiss."

The blossoming romance comes after Nicola split from her husband Tom after he was caught on tape with a girl flirting at a Las Vegas nightclub.
