Roman Kemp is dating radio producer Codie Jones

A source told The Sun: "Both Roman and Codie worked with Joe and were very close to him, so his death hit them both extremely hard.

“They got closer and ended up falling for each other. They’ve been dating a while now - it’s clear to everyone at work that they’re head over heels for each other.

“Codie met Roman’s parents Martin and Shirlie before they started dating so they already loved her. She’s fitted right in with the family.”

Last year, Roman revealed he was looking for love on Bumble after splitting from girlfriend of three years, Anne-Sophie Flury.

Speaking on Instagram Stories, in an ad for the company, Roman said: "I basically wanna to talk to you today about something that's been helping me out massively. Bumble have actually created a date generator - I know, I've actually been waiting for this: a dates generator.

"It's super simple. You enter in a couple of details about what types of dates you love. It randomly selects a few of them, and then it sets you up. So you don't have to think about what to do in 2020 on a date, because, it's pretty weird at the moment, isn't it?

"Some of my favourites include a virtual cook-off, kayaking and a dance class. I would actually do all of those!"

Roman's revelation about Bumble came just two weeks after he was linked to Lottie Moss.

The pair enjoyed a "fun, very tipsy" date at the beginning of August last year but it soon fizzled out.

A source said at the time: "They have known each other through the party circuit for a few years, but nothing has ever happened before. Roman's always thought she was beautiful, and decided to pluck up the courage to ask her out. They had a really fun, very tipsy date and have been in touch every day since."
