GEORDIE Shore star Abbie Holborn's secret boyfriend has been revealed - and he is a familiar reality TV face.
The MTV reality star, 27, is in the throes of a new romance with a former The Only Way Is Essex star after being introduced by their closest pals.
Abbie has been romancing Jack Rigden who appeared on the ITVBe reality show for 23 episodes back in 2017.
Whilst the pair have kept the romance under wraps in recent weeks, sources have told The Sun that Abbie is happier than ever after a string of failed flings.
The insider revealed: "Abbie and Jack have been seeing each other for a little while now after first starting off as friends.
"Things have been going really well between them and Abbie has been unable to wipe the smile off her face when talking to her pals about him.
"It is still very much early days but for the first time in a while, Abbie can really see a future with someone and she knows she can rely on Jack.
"It helps that Jack is the best mate of her closest pal Sophie Kasaei's boyfriend Jordan and so everyone around her is over the moon at the new romance.
"Abbie is feeling happier than ever and finally feels settled in her love life after years of holiday flings and failed situationships."
Abbie met 32-year-old Jack through Sophie and Jordan and is understood to be besotted with him.
The pair spent a cosy Valentine's Day together proving their romance is the real deal.
The Sun has contacted a spokesperson for Abbie Holborn for comment.
The reveal of her mystery man comes one month after she opened up to The Sun about her secret romance but refused to reveal his famous identity.
Abbie told us in January: “I am seeing someone. Yeah, it’s going really well.”
Brunette beauty Abbie then confessed she was close to a "nervous breakdown" over her struggling love life.
She revealed: “Every series [of Geordie Shore] I have a bit of a nervous break down because I am still single, it happens every series.
“Last series I was like I am just going to be single forever. Nothing is working!”
Abbie Holborn's love life
By Jake Penkethman
Unluckly in love Abbie has enjoyed countless flings and dalliances with her famous co-stars but it seems that she has finally settled down with TOWIE star boyfriend, Jack Rigden. Here is a look back at some of her most famous romances.
Scotty T - During her first series on Geordie Shore, a then 19-year-old Abbie fell for MTV lothario Scotty but soon found herself competing for his affection from fellow newbie, Zahida Allen. The pair had an on-off connection but it was seemingly left dead in the water when Scotty left the show just a year later. However, last year, when the show's cast reunited in Thailand, Abbie and Scott found themselves gravitating to one another once more and shared a few steamy smooches before calling time on their romance for good.Gaz Beadle - Abbie had a very brief dalliance with gaz during his final series on Geordie Shore. The pair got close and enjoyed a slew of snogs during Gary's first split from his later ex-wife, Emma McVey. Nothing more ever came of the shock connection with the former flames seemingly losing touch after Gaz shunned the chance to return to the programme.Roman Hackett - Abbie was seen enjoying the affections of TOWIE hunk Roman during a boozy night out in 2023. They kept close during In The Style's 10th anniversary party and were spotted by photographers almost locking lips outside the bash. However, it appeared that it was just a night of boose-fulled fun for the pair.Charlie Gratton - Abbie formerly called North East drug dealer Charlie Gratton her boyfriend but she split from him in 2020. The Sun revealed the pair called it quits after Abbie's pals expressed their concern for the relationship. Charlie was one of 12 drug dealers who was jailed for possessing drugs with the intent to supply at Creamfields music festival. He was found with 114 ecstasy tablets worth £1,140 and £1,395 of ketamine. The group received a total of 32 years in prison but Charlie was released in March 2019 after serving 14 months and is understood to have begun dating Abbie a month later.
