PRINCESS Diana’s brother Charles Spencer confirmed that he is in a relationship with Norwegian archaeologist Cat Jarman, who is his podcast co-host.
Earl Spencer, 60, revealed in June that he was divorcing his third wife Countess Karen Spencer, who he married in 2011.
However, the dad-of-seven confirmed to hosts Richard Madeley and Susanna Reid on Good Morning Britain today that he has found love again with Cat.
Charles appeared on the show to promote his new book, The Rabbit Hole Book: 99 adventures into the history of stuff, which he co-wrote with his podcast co-stars Cat and the Reverend Richard Coles, who starred on Strictly.
He said: “Cat Jarman, who is my partner now actually, but she's a brilliant archaeologist.
“It sounds like an Alan Partridge title, but she is a Nordic Person of 2024, which is usually handed out to someone like Sven-Göran Eriksson or a composer to be Nordic Person of the Year.

“You have to be respected throughout all Scandinavian and Nordic countries, and she totally is.”
Charles was asked about how he met Cat, and he replied: “Well, first of all, I met her because we both have the same publisher.
“But secondly, I know this sounds rather bizarre, but she came to dig up a Roman villa on the land I've got.
“And then Richard Coles, Cat and I would end up together.
“Richard had been recently bereaved, so he's semi living with me, and the three of us would just talk and talk and talk.
“And Kat said, ‘let's do a podcast’. And after the podcast came this book.”

Speaking of his bond with Cat, he said: “We are close,” after being asked “Very close?”, he replied: “Well, close enough.”
Cat is currently separated from her husband, with whom she shares two children.
