Strictly star George Clarke reveals he's dating stunning lingerie model

George Clarke has been announced as one of the 15 celebrity contestants of this year's Strictly Come Dancing, just after his first ever public relationship was confirmed.

The 25-year-old YouTuber has made quite the name for himself in the online world, which was amplified by his appearance on the Netflix reality show Inside, which launched earlier this year. Fans of the comedic creator have always been in on the joke about his love life, as the star often talked about his dating mishaps and single life, having never confirmed any kind of relationship.

That was until this week, when George addressed rumours about his relationship status, confirming that he does in fact have a girlfriend. It was during a livestream that the content creator spoke openly about being in a relationship with someone called Amelia.

Fans were quick to find out all they needed to know, as it was discovered that his new love is a stunning model named Yasmin Amelia. She has an impressive 30k followers on Instagram – while George has 686k – and is signed to the J’adore Models agency.

According to the Daily Mail, viewers were discussing the news on Reddit, sharing information after the livestream. One user wrote: "Caught me off guard because he is a very private person, especially about his dating/love life. Even on the pod, he has expressed his desire to keep things private and off socials."

Another shared: "I heard about this on his stream, and I'm genuinely happy for him!" Someone else chimed in: "He confirmed he follows her Insta and requested to give her space to be her own person."

Although, some of his followers couldn't help but speculate about the timing of his low-key announcement. They wrote: "Wonder whose idea it really was to all of a sudden hard launch his month-and-a-half-long relationship?"

That's where the Strictly curse comes in; as many people understand, over the years, the show has been at the forefront of numerous cheating scandals, brought together many celebrity couples, and torn apart existing relationships. We saw this happen when Joe Sugg became the first-ever YouTuber to take on the show, and he began a relationship with his dance partner, and now long-term partner, Diana Bussell.

Showing his support for the fellow online star, Sugg commented on the post announcing George's participation in the show. He wrote: "YES @georgeclarkeey, this is going to be brilliant," to which George jokingly responded, "You clearly haven’t seen the hips move."

Sugg promised to send him a video from his first day at rehearsals back in 2018, when he appeared in the 16th series of the show and finished as a runner-up. He reassured George that this clip would prove that "miracles can happen".
