He may be in the middle of divorcing his world-famous wife Cheryl, but Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini – JB to his friends – has still found time to be romantically linked to a Love Island contestant.

Kasey Wynter, 31, was given the boot from the reality series last weekend, and the former 2009 Britain's Next Top Model contestant has claimed that the French restauranteur wooed her on a rooftop bar in a London hotel.

Fernandez-Versini allegedly seduced her with champagne before reportedly booking them a £500-per-night suite just hours after she left the show.

Wynter flew to Mallorca last Tuesday (28 June) as one of four new faces to join the Love Island hopefuls in a bid to shack up with a partner. After participating in a series of tasks at the villa, she was rejected by the boys and sent packing.

But it was JB to the rescue when she touched down in the British capital, with the pair meeting at hot spot Chiltern Firehouse at approximately 11.30pm. The model is said to have bumped into Fernandez-Versini a second time at 3am at the Sanctum Soho Hotel before they went to another hotel together.

She told The Sun: "His friend was bringing us drinks. JB was very comfortable chatting away with me and was a real gentleman.

"Me and JB were flirting all night. I went with him. Why not? We are both single. We did everything apart from full sex. He was extremely charming. He took his clothes off and I could see he works out.

"He was extremely charming. I had a lot to drink and it was gone 5am that I fell asleep," before poignantly adding: "As far as I'm concerned he's well over Cheryl."

Fernandez-Versini tied the knot with former Girls Aloud star Cheryl on 7 July 2014 after a three-month whirlwind romance. The relationship collapsed ed in January of this year after she filed for divorce, after citing 'irreconcilable differences' as the reason.

It was also reported that Cheryl could be forced to part with some her £20m fortune as she did not sign a pre-nuptial agreement, delaying their divorce. The process is still ongoing.
