Calum spoke of their blossoming romance in an interview with OK magazine: "It's early days but it's going real great. She's a fantastic girl, so watch this space I guess.

"We met when she was in London last year and kept in touch. Then she invited me to New York last week for a premiere, so I went along. After that, we headed to Paradise Island in the Bahamas to chill out away from it all and it's going well.

The 26-year-old son of football legend George Best added that after years of bed hopping, he's looking to settle down.

He said: "I've been young, free and single and sowing my oats since I was 15 years old, but I've now reached a point where if I had a girlfriend I could commit to her and put in 110 per cent."

But shaking his lothario ways has already proved very difficult.

The couple were caught out in a "screamfest" at New York's Soho Grand last week, reportedly sparked by Best's womanising ways.

The Love Island star was said to be cozying up to another woman in the Bahamas with Lohan, and was also caught just days later collecting phone numbers from models while at a New York club.

Judging by Lindsay recent antics Calum may have met his match.

However he insists that his wild days are behind him.

"I don't mind the playboy image but I'm now at a point where I want to be taken seriously."
