A Traitors star is in a new relationship with a boy band member and the couple has already gone Instagram official.
Former Dancing On Ice contestant Mollie Pearce, 23, is dating The Vamps bassist Connor Ball, 29, and the couple affirmed their romance by going on a break together to Amsterdam.
MailOnline revealed in October that Mollie, who rose to fame on season two of BBC One’s The Traitors, had split from longterm boyfriend Max Backwell who she had been with for three years.
But six months on from her breakup, the model has moved on with Connor after the couple connected at this year’s Dancing On Ice wrap party.
They were both at the TV bash after Connor appeared on the series in 2019 and Mollie finished in sixth place during this year’s competition.
The loved-up pair took a canal boat ride in Amsterdam where they posed for pictures together, smiling at the camera for the sweet selfie.

A TV source told MailOnline: ‘Mollie and Connor are in the early stages of dating and are loving getting to know each other.
‘They felt ready to share their relationship on Instagram after holidaying together for the first time.
‘It’s been a few months since they met at the Dancing On Ice wrap party, where they first connected and now they’re up for going public.’
Mollie starred on the last ever series of Dancing On Ice with professional parter Colin Grafton before the programme, hosted by Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern, was cancelled by ITV.
The star competed on the show to raise awareness for the stoma bag community after having one fitted when she was 18, seven years after she was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis.
In an exclusive interview with MailOnline, Mollie, who was born without fingers on her right hand, spoke about her decision to signup to Dancing On Ice, saying she wanted to take the opportunity now that she isn’t held back by poor health.
She said: ‘I have my health and the chance to do these things now. I would never have been able to do anything like this four years ago. I want to take all the opportunities I possibly can now and take it all in.’
MailOnline has contacted Mollie’s representatives for comment.

In 2024, Mollie was humiliated by Traitors rival Harry Clark, who convinced her he was a fellow Faithful, when all along he was a Traitor, and his deceit saw him bag the £95,000 cash prize.
Harry promised Mollie a sunshine holiday as a way to compensate his treachery but he did not deliver.
The former co-stars were reunited at last week’s BAFTA TV Awards after The Traitors was nominated in the Best Reality and Constructed Factual category.
Mollie attended the event wearing a fitted white gown with thigh-high slit while Harry came suited and booted in a tux.
The line-up for the Celebrity Traitors was revealed last week with stars including singer Charlotte Charlotte, comedian Alan Carr, performer Paloma Faith and actor Stephen Fry taking part in the game of deception in a bid to win up to £100,000 for charity.
