It sounds likes Kara Tointon has a new love interest. The former EastEnders actress, who was best known for playing Dawn Swann on the soap, has been spotted enjoying a string of romantic dates with TV presenter Matt Johnson.
Kara, 31, and Matt, 32, were recently seen at a West London pub together, and according to sources, the pair seemed to only have eyes for each other.
"They looked very close, touching each other, and Matt put his arm around her at one point," a source told The Mirror. "They held hands as they walked. They looked very loved-up."

Kara and Matt were also recently seen looking cosy at an ITV party together, and while the couple have yet to confirm their romance, a couple of weeks ago Matt shared an Instagram photo of himself and a group of friends, including Kara.
The pair had enjoyed an outing at a London Secret Cinema event, and posing for a group picture, Matt later shared a snap from the evening. "Thecret Thinema (this photo doesn't give any of the secret experience away, other than it's awesome) ?," the former This Morning presenter wrote.

Kara's most recent high-profile relationship was with professional dancer Artem Chigvintsev. Kara and Artem, who were together for four years, met on Strictly Come Dancing when they were paired up together and danced to victory.
The couple confirmed their romance in January 2011 but split in 2014 because of the Russian dancer's visa issues, which kept them apart for months.
