Sinitta has revealed she has been secretly dating a mystery man for several years after largely keeping her love life out of the spotlight in recent years.
The 80s pop star shared details about the relationship while appearing on Loose Women, explaining that her partner is not involved in showbusiness and prefers to stay away from public attention.
"He’s much more afraid then I am. When I knew I was doing the jungle, we kind of stepped back a bit because he’s not in show business, don’t think wants to be in show business and you know I was doing something so high profile," she said.
Sinitta described him as “a Leeds lad” with a big personality and a love of bad jokes.
"He would be fine, you know he’s silly he’s got the best, worst, bad dad jokes and everything. He’s a character, he’s a funny guy," she added.
The singer explained she deliberately kept the romance private to protect him from media attention.
"I wanted to protect him… and not just put him under that pressure but he’ll actually be fine, I found my little Harry Redknapp."
Sinitta has had several high-profile relationships over the years, most famously with Simon Cowell. The pair dated on and off during the 1980s and remained close friends long after their romance ended.
Cowell also played a major role in Sinitta’s music career, helping guide her success during the peak of her fame with hits including So Macho and Toy Boy.
Over the years, Sinitta regularly appeared alongside him on shows including The X Factor, becoming a familiar face to UK audiences.
The singer has previously spoken openly about the deep bond they shared despite no longer being together romantically. She has described Cowell as one of the most important people in her life and revealed they remained supportive of each other through relationships, careers and family life.

Sinitta has also claimed she briefly dated Brad Pitt before he became a Hollywood superstar. During her appearance on I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!, she recalled meeting the actor in the late 1980s and described him as “beautiful” and “amazing”.
Away from her romances, Sinitta later married businessman Andy Willner in 2002. The couple adopted two children together before separating several years later.
In recent years, the singer has largely kept her personal life private, making her latest comments about her long-term boyfriend a rare insight into her relationship away from the spotlight.
