Rita, 23, has been spotted getting cosy with 36-year-old Dave recently after meeting the football agent at a party at the end of last year.

“Rita and Dave seem to really like each other,” an insider tells heat exclusively. “She’s told pals she could fall for him.”

Things heated up for the couple in February, when Rita stayed at Dave’s London home after meeting up with him at a Dazed & Confused party at Café Royal. And things stepped up another gear on 4 April as the pair were seen coming out of a newsagents in London, laden with bags. Then a couple of days later they went shopping at Harrods in London, followed by drinks at the Groucho Club in Soho.

“Dave is a breath of fresh air for Rita. He’s incredibly stable and shuns the limelight,” the pal adds.
