Will it come with a lift? House-hunters Sophie Dahl and Jamie Cullum
They have been dating since April last year. A source close to the couple confirmed: 'Jamie and Sophie are very much in love, and decided it's time to get a pad together. They've spent enough time staying at each other's houses, so it's the natural next step.'
Model Sophie, 30, is the granddaughter of Roald Dahl, who wrote The BFG and James And The Giant Peach.
She turned author herself with books such as Playing With The Grown-Ups.
There have been marriage rumours, but the source added: 'They're not planning to marry for now, but when they do get engaged they will let people know without any pomp. They're very down-to-earth.'
