Reports over the weekend claimed Kate Moss had moved close acquaintance Count Nikolai Von Bismarck into her London home after the pair sparked up an 'intense relationship.'

And the 28-year-old socialite and photographer has at least appeared to confirm he's spending time with the supermodel 13 years his senior.

Nikolai, who is a great-great grandson of Otto von Bismarck, was seen leaving Kate's North London home on Saturday.

The photographer headed out the front gate of Kate's plush pad, carrying a garment bag slung over his shoulder.

Dressed in a blue and white polka dot print shirt, Nikolai jumped into a waiting taxi, and chatted to two pals before driving away.

The sighting follows a report from The Sun on Sunday that the handsome socialite has moved into the basement of Kate's home.   

Nikolai - who admits to drinking blood in the past - has reportedly been staying in Kate's basement for fear of being spotted by staff or her 12-year-old daughter, Lila Grace, according to insiders.

A source told the paper: 'A lot of people know Kate has been seeing a lot of Nikolai, but she’s never been this open. Their relationship is pretty intense and he has been virtually living at her London home, but has been staying in the basement quite a lot.

'Nikolai has clothes at both of Kate’s houses, and although he hasn’t moved in permanently he seems pretty comfortable there.'

The claims come after it emerged Count Nikolai had confessed to drinking blood during a photoshoot in Ethiopia. He said: 'I drank cow’s blood for breakfast, washed in the river and slept in a tent that was guarded by kids with AK-47s.'

Kate and the socialite are said to have been growing closer in recent weeks, and she has introduced him to her friends, with the pair seen lunching with the model's close pals Sadie Frost and Meg Matthews at the Five Alls pub in Filkins, the Cotswolds, last week.

Kate meanwhile has still been wearing her wedding ring in the wake of her alleged split from husband of four years Jamie Hince.

While there has been no official word from either camp on the marriage split, Jamie and Kate were first reported to have gone their separate ways in July. MailOnline has contacted Kate's representatives for comment.
