Kirsty Gallacher and Laurence Fox were reportedly dating in secret for six months.

The Sky Sports presenter and Lewis actor allegedly called time on the relationship in recent weeks after becoming ‘tired’ of trying to keep it out of the spotlight.

A source told The Sun: “The pair met through pals and hit it off.

“They had fun while it lasted.

“But having to sneak around was a bit tiresome in the end.”

They also claimed Gallacher still has feelings for her ex, rugby star Danny Cipriani who she was reportedly “mad for”.

Gallacher admitted to having a new boyfriend earlier this year, but remained tight-lipped about his identity, saying: “It’s early days. I’m enjoying seeing somebody, going on dates and having a great time.”

Fox was previously linked to Vogue Williams after splitting from his ex-wife Billie Piper.

The news comes days after Gallacher was charged with a drink-driving offence.

The mother-of-two was pulled over by police in Eton, Berkshire on her way to pick up her children, who she has with ex-husband Paul Sampson.

Gallacher, who was breathalysed, is due to appear at Slough Magistrates' Court on September 4.

The incident took place hours after she had posted a picture of herself at a pub in nearby Winkfield on the previous evening.

A spokesman said: “Kirsty Gallacher, aged 41, of Chapel Square, Virginia Water, was charged last night with one count of driving a motor vehicle when alcohol level was above the legal limit.”

Representatives for Gallacher and Fox declined to comment.
