Her representative told The Sun: “It’s very early days. They had a wonderful night. Let’s see what happens.”

In photos published by the tabloid the pair were spotted enjoying tapas and wine in London and were then snapped walking arm-in-arm through the city.

A source told the publication: “Nick and Pascal were introduced a little while ago by a mutual friend, and have been talking ever since.

“It’s a big thing for him to go on a public date as he’s been very cautious in the past, since divorcing his ex-wife Jessica.”

Nick first split from ex Jessica back in 2015 and shares three-year-old son Eddie with her.

Earlier this year Nick called time on their marriage but confirmed that they still remain on good terms.

But the presenter did admit he found the split “hugely difficult” to deal with and said his brother was helpful during the emotional hurdle.

Nick told the Mirror at the time: “All those things are hugely difficult but I always had people to talk to who are close to me.

“When I come under extreme stress, I spent time with my older brother John, who has had counselling training.”

Nick then briefly dated Emmerdale’s Gemma Oaten before breaking off their fling after the press got wind of their romance.

Gemma, 33, claimed Nick wooed her at a TV awards event, before whisking her away on a romantic getaway to Edinburgh.

But after the media started discovering they may have been an item Nick apparently dumped her.

Now it seems he’s finally found love again with a TOWIE beauty.

And pals claim the pair are besotted with each other.

A source revealed: “Things between Nick and Pascal are going really well.

“There’s no pressure, they’re taking things slow and seeing how things go, but there’s definitely another evening out in the pipeline.

“Nick is quite private and has been cautious about rushing into anything new, but Pascal is really fun and they had a great time last week.”

The brunette beauty appeared on TOWIE back in 2013 and has dated fellow co-star Mario Falcone and footballer Ashley Cole.
