The pair had a romantic getaway at celeb retreat Babington House, Somerset, with pals saying Danny is now 'infatuated'
LOVE Island’s Caroline Flack shared a romantic hotel getaway with rugby bad boy Danny Cipriani.
Caroline, 39, had a goodbye kiss with the 31-year-old ace at Babington House, Somerset.
A source said: “Danny is infatuated.”
The pair spent two raunchy nights together after the smitten rugby ace spent weeks wooing her.
They slipped off to her favourite room at a celeb hangout and enjoyed a passionate goodbye kiss on Saturday evening.
Insiders say bad boy Danny, 31, pursued the Love Island host, 39, with texts before she agreed to hook up.
She booked Babington House, Somerset, where she is a regular, for two nights at the end of last week.
Onlookers spotted the pair sharing drinks and chatting before retiring to a room on Thursday and Friday nights.
A source said: “Danny couldn’t keep his hands off her.
"He’s obviously very into her, and to be fair they make a great- looking couple.
“They did start tongues wagging quite quickly.
“Of course he does have a reputation as a lothario, but Caroline is clearly a confident woman who seems to be able to handle herself.
“If anything it looked as though she was calling the shots and he was a bit infatuated.
"But they were around for a few days so things are obviously going pretty well.”
The pair enjoyed a Cuban-themed evening at the venue where Caroline requests the same room during each visit.
Danny was spotted leaning in through the driver’s window of Caroline’s black Range Rover for a kiss before she returned home to London. Both grinned broadly as they parted.
One pal added: “He’s obviously got a thing for her. She knows his reputation but he’s a nice guy and they got on well.
“It’s nothing too serious at this stage, but they had a great couple of days.”
Single Caroline was seen with personal trainer Bradley Simmonds earlier this year, and with Strictly pro AJ Pritchard at the National Television Awards in January.
Her last serious boyfriend was Andrew Brady. But he was accused of cheating behind her back and using her to enhance his fame before she walked away last year.
She had a brief romance with Prince Harry in 2009, and dated ex-1D hunk Harry Styles when he was 17 and she was 31.
England fly-half Danny has a string of famous exes including models Kelly Brook and Katie Price, actress Lindsay Lohan and TV sports host Kirsty Gallacher.
He is believed to have been single since splitting from Hope Stubbings, 27, last summer.
The mum of one and mental health worker claimed he convinced her to let him bed other women during their relationship.
Danny is said to have explained his behaviour by saying blows to the head during matches had left him with a short memory.
He has been no stranger to controversy during his career.
In 2013 he was hit by a double-decker bus and treated for concussion while on a pub crawl with team-mates in Leeds.
An arrest for drink-driving in June 2015 saw him banned from the road for 18 months.
In August 2018 he was arrested on a pre-season tour in Jersey following a nightclub “scuffle”. The incident resulted in him being charged with assault, resisting arrest and assault on a police officer.
His turbulent relationship with Kelly Brook ended after a string of cheating scandals including exchanging filthy texts with other women who later exposed his infidelity.
He dated Katie Price in 2011, but their relationship quickly soured.
Ex-Strictly winner Caroline has become one of the most in-demand names on TV.
She will return to Love Island later this year after West End stage success in Chicago.
Meanwhile Danny has regained form for club Gloucester prompting calls for an England recall ahead of the World Cup.
But he remains on the fringes after his personal antics left him out of favour with boss Eddie Jones.
He has made just two appearances for England since the head coach took over in late 2015.
Babington House, an ex-manor converted to a private members’ club, is the rural cousin of London celeb haunt Soho House.
Actor Eddie Redmayne wed Hannah Bagshawe in a winter-wonderland ceremony there in 2014.
It also hosted James Corden’s £250,000 nuptials with Julia Carey, reality star Millie Mackintosh’s with rapper Professor Green, and DJ Zoe Ball’s with Fatboy Slim.
The Georgian estate boasts five tennis courts, a chapel and cinema.
A spokesman for Caroline declined to comment.
