Singer Olly, 34, invited her as his special guest to the semi-final of TV’s The Voice, on which he was a judge.

A source said: “Olly is smitten with Zara and it’s not hard to see why.

“He tried to make out they’re just mates but there’s real chemistry between them.

“Now their romance is blossoming into a relationship. He treats her like a princess and is very complimentary about her.”

Zara, 21, has been single since splitting from her Love Island co-star ex Adam Collard, 22, in February.

Olly has not been in a relationship since he broke up with property manager Francesca Thomas in 2015.

But he has been linked to a number of women including DJ Emma Conybeare, and had a fling with TV’s Mel Sykes. His fascination with Zara was discovered after he liked her sexy Instagram snaps.

A source added: “It takes a lot to get Olly’s attention but Zara has really turned his head. Their dates have been out of the public eye and it’s been nice for them to connect on a deeper level without any prying eyes.

“Olly’s mates are desperate for him to find someone to settle down with and Zara seems perfect for him.”

Olly, who was a runner-up on The X Factor in 2009, bonded with Zara over their shared passion of music.

She used to work as a government adviser but sang in her spare time. When asked about Zara, Olly said last month: “We were chatting about music because she loves singing.”
