Dougie Poynter teases a little of his chest at star-studded Tommy Hilfiger LC:M dinner... as new love interest Perrie Edwards concedes that 'he is cute'

With his hipster hair and rugged, manly chest, it's little wonder why Perrie Edwards has just confessed to thinking Dougie Poynter is 'pretty cute.'

The McFly singer joined the stars at a Tommy Hilfiger dinner during London Collections: Men on Saturday, just as his rumoured new love interest was being questioned about their connection.

It's been four days since Dougie and Little Mix's Perrie appeared 'inseparable' in one corner of Tuesday's Glamour Women Of The Year Awards.

'Dougie's lovely, he's a good mate. He is pretty cute yeah,' Perrie told The Sun on Saturday as she performed across town at Wembley Stadium, London for the Capital FM Summertime Ball. 

Of their reported tryst, a source told MailOnline earlier this week: 'They were pretty inseparable at the [Glamour Awards] after show. 

'Dougie, 28, was with Perrie, 22, for ages looking cosy. He didn't leave her side towards the end of the night.'

'She was enjoying his company and broke off from the other Little Mix girls to spend time with him. She looked really happy.' 

Dougie was left heartbroken when he split from his last pop princess girlfriend, Ellie Goulding, 29, in March and Perrie has remained single after splitting from former fiancé Zayn Malik.

But from one boyband singer to another, Dougie's mind was focussed on fashion this weekend as he put in yet another appearance at LC:M.
