Meanwhile Sam's handsome new man, 25, is no stranger to being in the spotlight as he shot to fame on the 2009 E4 TV documentary series Dirty Sexy Things, on which he was described as a 'bisexual party boy'. 

The pair have reportedly enjoyed a number of dates and are said to be 'having fun together'.

A source told The Sun: 'They just started following each other on Instagram too, suggesting both are keen to do some cheeky profile-stalking. They're having fun together and are now excited to see where this leads.'

Jay, who also DJs, has in the past been linked to the likes of model Chloe Madeley, actor Kieran Richardson, as well as former Hollyoaks actress Stephanie Davis.

Since then the London native has been focusing on his image. The star has shed more than three stone in the last 12 months after cutting calorific treats out of his diet.

Sam, who no longer eats gluten, dairy or refined sugar and does regular exercise including weight training and yoga, said: 'I'm just not eating like a pig any more. That's basically it!'

The source continued, to the newspaper: 'Sam is one of the biggest stars in the world and looks incredible right now.'

'It's only natural he's going to have interest from the hottest available men.'

Things are looking up for Sam who hit a sour patch whilst mistakenly suggesting that he may be the first openly gay man to win an Academy Award back in February.

The claim was scrutinised by gay Milk screenwriter Dustin Lance Black who won an award at the prestigious ceremony in 2008. 

Representatives for both Sam and Jay have refused to comment about the new relationship for MailOnline.
