Following their red carpet debut, Mario then paid Louise a compliment via Instagram as he uploaded a photo of them.

He captioned the image: 'With the beautiful @louisehazel at last nights premiere'.

Mario was previously engaged to Lucy Mecklenburgh and more recently he dated Emma McVey.

The former TOWIE star and Emma were last seen together on a PDA-filled date night at the end of September.

The couple's very public display of affection came after the pair were involved in a Twitter spat over apparent 'trust' issues.

During their fallout, Mario deleted all Instagram images with his girlfriend, before tweeting: 'Never trust anyone... Sometimes even those closest to you are the worst.'

Emma, appearing to confirm that he was referring to their romance, fired back with: 'Trust?! Oh really, maybe I should let everyone know the truth...' 

The couple had a turbulent relationship since getting together last year, but as recently as August Mario revealed that he was hoping to buy a house with Emma, after surprising her with new puppy Oscar.

Asked by Reveal Magazine if he thought Emma could be 'The One', he answered: 'I'd like to think so. I wouldn't be with her if I didn't.'   

Louise on the other hand is the ex-girlfriend of Hollywood star Michael Fassbender after they split in 2013 but have since remained friends.

Speaking about their union, Hazel told The Mirror: 'We have one of those really lovely friendships where he supports me and I support him'.
