DOUBLE Brit Award winner Sam Fender has had his head turned by yet another beauty – Anatomy of a Scandal actress Hannah Dodd.
Rising star Hannah, who will star alongside Henry Cavill and Millie Bobby Brown in Enola Holmes 2, plays a young Sophie in the smash hit Netflix drama.

Sources told how Sam, who went on a series of dates with Raye earlier this year, reached out to Hannah after her social media snaps caught his eye.
One said: “Sam thinks Hannah is absolutely stunning and has been liking her pictures like crazy, which is of course very flattering for her.
“She has also followed him back and they are getting on very well.
“It’s a case of watch this space.”
Sam, who was first tipped for great things when he won the Critics’ Choice award at the Brits in 2019, won his second gong this year when he was named Best Alternative/Rock Act.
Last month he embarked on a huge arena tour across the UK, which finishes in Manchester on July 6.
His latest romance comes after we revealed he was dating Raye, who he was spotted snogging backstage at the Brits.
The pair then partied together at Sam’s private bash, held at hipster venue Four Quarters, in Peckham, South London.
But the romance later seemed to cool, with Sam turning his attention to Lottie Moss after they rubbed shoulders at the NME Awards.
And he was clearly on good form, as he was also seen flirting with Norwegian singer Sigrid before whisking her off to the Fontaines DC after- party.
After a one-on-one chat they moved to a private booth out of sight of the rest of the venue, before leaving the club just minutes apart from each other.
But fast forward a month and it seems Sam has actress Hannah in his sights.
Still, what’s the point of being a rock star if you can’t sow some wild oats?

Simon bid to revive X-Factor
SIMON COWELL is secretly working on reviving The X Factor in the US just months after it was canned by ITV on this side of the pond.
The talent show ran for three series Stateside from 2011 to 2013 and the music mogul is looking at a 10-year anniversary celebration.

Speaking recently he said: “I’m proud of the show. In fact, I’m actually thinking about trying to bring X Factor back to America.”
Judges on the American X Factor included Britney Spears, Demi Lovato, Kelly Rowland – plus Simon, who was on our screens last night as a BGT judge.
A source tells us: “The X Factor is far from dead in America. Simon always felt the show needed some rest and some revamping.
“He and the producers are looking at making it appeal to a wider audience and incorporating more social media platforms and streaming possibilities.”
Harry’s in the pink

WE thought Harry Styles might struggle to top his duet with Shania Twain at Coachella last week, but luckily he had another surprise up his sleeve.
The former One Direction star donned a giant pink faux fur coat over a matching waistcoat to duet with Lizzo this week.
After belting out Gloria Gaynor’s 1978 classic I Will Survive, they launched into 1D fan favourite What Makes You Beautiful.
After the performance Lizzo posted a selfie of the pair, writing: “Proud of you @harrystyles. Thank u for having me.”
After Billie Eilish brought Damon Albarn on stage last weekend, we can’t wait to see what surprises Saturday’s Coachella throws up.
Max is back with Stacey
MAX GEORGE and Stacey Giggs stepped out for a romantic stroll together – just weeks after we revealed they had rekindled their relationship.
The pair got together in 2018 following Stacey’s split from Man United legend Ryan Giggs in 2016.

However, Stacey and Max left friends and family stunned when they decided to go their separate ways in March. They even cut ties by unfollowing each other on social media.
But our sources told earlier this month how the couple had begun talking again and had decided to give their relationship another chance.
And they looked more loved up than ever this week, holding hands and cuddling as they walked down London’s famous shopping strip Bond Street in co-ordinated tracksuits.
The Wanted star Max was also seen with his arm around Stacey as they left upmarket jeweller Cartier.
We wonder what they were eyeing up in there . . .
Unseen George Michael
UNSEEN footage to be screened in the GEORGE MICHAEL Freedom: Uncut film will see the music legend open up about how his mum accepted his sexuality.
In one emotional scene, George – who directed the film with close pal David Austin – will relive the moment he told mum Lesley that he was gay.
Her only sadness was that she didn’t fully und-erstand his loss as he mourned ex-lover Anselmo Feleppa, who died the year before.
George recalls: “To her that (my sexuality) was nothing.
“She was more worried about the 18 months I had been through and she had not been able to help me.”
The movie will be in cinemas on June 22.
Tony Hadley hits out
TONY HADLEY has accused his former bandmates in Spandau Ballet of LYING about why he left.
The singer, who walked out of the new romantic group in 2015, features snaps of the band as youngsters in his new book My Life In Pictures.

He said: “I thanked the boys in the book. I have nothing to do with Spandau at all now.
“I wish they would be honest and someone would ask them, ‘Why did your lead singer leave the band?’ It’s not just, as they said in the past, ‘He didn’t want to do it any more’.
“That’s a lie. There’s a lot more to it. There’s no going back from that, which is sad for them, the fans and there’s a bit of sadness for me too.
“We had some brilliant times but something happened. It’s not my place to say, it’s for them to say and they have to be honest.”
A Spandau spokesman refused to comment.
