The group, which included two other men, escaped to Kate's Cotswold retreat, where Jamie joined her for a spin in her vintage MG convertible and later he joined the girls for a stroll through nearby fields.

The 10-bedroom farmhouse is where Kate would hide away with Pete Doherty before they split earlier this year.

The 33-year-old has told a friend that Jamie, who's in rock band The Kills, reminds her of her ex, which is "quietly comforting" but also "drives her nuts".

Her pal recently revealed: "Kate says Jamie has little traits and characteristics that remind her of Pete.

"She always goes for the same sort of men - dangerous and seemingly unavailable, but with a good heart underneath.

Despite the reported parallels between the Babyshambles singer and Jamie, Kate's pals appear to have embraced the new man in her life.

Of the budding romance, close friend Naomi Campbell has said: "That's fantastic, good for her.

"I hated the way [Pete] treated her. I don't mind if her new guy's a rocker, as long as he looks after her."

Kelly's approval will also be important to Kate considering the pair share a strong friendship.

Last week, the model joined the Osbourne clan in cheering on Kelly at her West End debut in the stage musical Chicago.
