Anna Richardson's new boyfriend has been revealed as Simon Marks.

The 52-year-old TV presenter - who split from long-term girlfriend and former 'Great British Bake Off' host Sue Perkins in 2021 after seven years of dating - recently revealed she has found love again and the pair were spotted walking together in London this week.

According to MailOnline, Simon works for a mentoring foundation and "wrote a book 'How To Live With an Alpha Female' about his marriage to film producer and sex author Mel Agace.

A friend told the publication: "Anna and Simon have been together for about eight months, although they were keeping it low-key initially.

"She’s really very happy – absolutely head-over-heels in love with him."

Speaking recently about the key to a successful relationship, Anna said: "It's all about communication and rapport, and understanding the other person enough that [you know what] it is that they need for you. For example, this morning - I'm dating, I've got a boyfriend - and already my boyfriend has said to me 'I haven't spent enough time with you', so his love language is time - he needs my time to feel loved.

"Whereas actually, I quite like to receive texts saying [something like] 'I'm thinking about you and I love you'. So people need to be aware of how their partner does their love language."

The 'Naked Attraction' host added that she was introduced to dating apps by friends and even though she eventually met her new beau through mutual friends, she still thinks the concept of apps such as Badoo is "brilliant".

She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I have been introduced to apps [while dating], but actually I ended up meeting somebody through friends of friends. Yeah, so again, I just got really, really lucky that someone was compatible in my friendship circle. So many girlfriends of mine have met through apps and I know they're brilliant."
