Hurts frontman Theo Hutchcraft has been begun dating model Shermine Shahrivar, according to reports.

The singer is understood to have met the on-off girlfriend of Twilight star Xavier Samuel at an awards ceremony last year.

A source told The Sun the pair have been seeing each other “when they can”.

"They've kept in touch and have been arranging to see each other again next time the boys are in Germany,” the source added.

“Theo got a bit of a fright when he realised she was dating the Twilight chap."

Shahrivar was named Miss Deutschland in 2004 and Miss Europe in 2005, and has also posed on the cover of Playboy.
