Just two months ago, he was seen engaging in a blazing row with his now ex-girlfriend Daisy Lewis outside London's exclusive Groucho Club.

But now Steve Coogan, 50, has apparently found love once again, as he was spotted stepping out with pretty new girlfriend Laura Hajek, 26 - and she looks just like his Downton Abbey star ex.

Earlier this week, the lovebirds were photographed walking hand-in-hand as they made their way to a memorial service for late comedienne Victoria Wood at London's St James's Church.

Alan Partridge star Steve looked dapper for the sombre occasion, donning a a light blue suit, which he teamed with a grey patterned tie and mustard yellow suede shoes.

His brunette belle, a self-described rock 'n' roll musician, opted for a plunging green dress under a grey cardigan, as she strolled beside her man in stappy black-and-white flats.

With a Louis Vuitton handbag slung over her forearm, the New York-based beauty accessorized with a gathered necklace, while she shielded her eyes with a pair of stylish shades.

One inside the service, sources tell MailOnline that Philomena star Steve left his new girlfriend alone on the sidelines while he mingled with his showbiz friends.

After the service - held to honour celebrated comedienne Victoria, who died on April 20 after a battle with cancer - the couple were seen leaving together before hailing a cab.

In May, Steve was seen engaging in a heated confrontation with 30-year-old Daisy on the busy streets of Soho.

One eyewitness outside the Groucho explained: ‘There was a bad vibe between them and it spilled out into the street. They were at each other – it was heated.

'First she had a face like thunder, then started crying, and that’s when he put her into a taxi and sent her off on her own. People were aghast at seeing such an emotional confrontation.

'Halfway through, a fan came over and Coogan was really brusque with him, telling him they were having a private conversation, and putting out his hand to fend him off.

‘The worst part was he seemed so uncaring and cold towards Daisy. There was not a hint of kindness. He seemed more interested in himself.’
