James Haskell flaunts Scots Big Brother star girlfriend with famous exes
The former England rugby star went public with former Miss Edinburgh Sara McLean, as they were spotted holding hands at Cheltenham Festival.
Former rugby player James Haskell has introduced his new love interest to the public, Big Brother star and former Miss Edinburgh Sara McLean.
James, 39, was spotted hand-in-hand with the glamorous Scottish reality TV star, who has a history of high-profile relationships, at the Cheltenham Festival on Wednesday according to reports.
Sara has previously been linked to US World Cup goalkeeper Tim Howard, rugby ace Ben Cohen, cricket legends Brian Lara and Shane Warne, and TOWIE's Mario Falcone, as reported by the MailOnline.
It comes following James most notable relationship with fitness influencer Chloe Madeley, 37, who he split from in October 2023. The couple share two-year-old daughter Bodhi.
Back in January, James was rumoured to be dating newly single mum-of-two Helen Barclay, who bears a striking resemblance to Chloe. However, that relationship seems to have cooled off, with James now publicly showcasing his new romance with Sara.
Chloe, James' ex-wife, has previously admitted she's aware that her daughters dad has been 'having fun' dating others, but insists they maintain a good relationship as they continue to co-parent for the sake of Bodhi.
Sara, who graduated from Edinburgh's George Watson's College where annual fees are around £9,800, has had a series of high-profile relationships since her rise to fame on Big Brother.
She was notably engaged to American goalkeeper Tim, who she began dating in 2013 while working as a banker in Scotland. She met Tim at a party and insisted that she wouldn't become a typical WAG, stating: "I like to work and make my own money. I never like to be dependent on anyone."
The exact timing of their split remains unclear, but Sara was linked to several other celebrities since. In recent times, she seems to have found stability, welcoming two children with Sales Director Peter Lloyd.
On Big Brother, Sara admitted to being obsessed with the Queen and left fellow housemates baffled with a drunken tirade in support of the monarchy.
She also threatened to punch model Arron Lowe after he discussed pouring the housemates alcohol out. Upon entering the house, Sara declared her admiration for Margaret Thatcher and confessed to being argumentative and having a short temper.
While in the house, she missed her graduation ceremony for a degree in marketing management from Edinburgh's Napier University.
One of the first things she did upon leaving the house was to watch the Queen's cameo with Daniel Craig at the Olympics opening ceremony. Sara commented: "I watched the Queen with James Bond and it was brilliant -she proved why she's great for Britain.
"When Prince William got married it was the happiest day of my life. When Prince Philip was ill I got really emotional. It's the one thing in my life that I'm passionate about."
James and Chloe confirmed their separation in October 2023, following months of rumours suggesting their marriage was in trouble.
