STRICTLY pro dancer Karen Hauer has introduced her new boyfriend Simon Davidson to fans - by sharing her first photo with him on her Instagram grid.
Simon finally made the grid after The Sun revealed they were dating during the 2023 series of Strictly.
And the new couple couldn’t keep their hands off each other in the sweet photo.
Karen, 41, wore tight leather trousers and a halter neck top in the cosy photo, wrapping one arm around Simon while gazing adoringly up at him.
The Strictly veteran simply captioned her image with a black heart emoji.

She is currently taking part in Strictly's live your and was last night spotted with Simon and her co-stars in Manchester.
Simon, 34, revealed he was dating Karen last week by sharing a picture of them posing in the Lake District.
He captioned it: "Things can change in an instant.
"Try to live in the moment you never know what may happen."
The Sun revealed they were dating during the 2023 series of Strictly but Karen had remained quiet about the new romance.
They were spotted leaving the Strictly studios together two months after it was revealed the Venezuelan dancer had split with her husband of 16 months, Jordan Wyn-Jones.
A source revealed in October to the Mirror: "Karen and Jordan have had a tough time in the past few months and decided to split. It’s obviously very sad for both of them. But there’s no ill-will whatsoever. The split is amicable, and they wish each other the best."
Simon is based in Manchester and works as a senior sports marketing manager for Adidas.
He specialises in promoting rugby, cricket and boxing for the global athletic brand.

Karen and Jordan only said 'I do' at the exclusive Chewton Glen country house in Hampshire in June 2022 and described it as a "fairytale".
Jordan said: "It’s a bit of a love story, a sad story.
"I’m incredibly sad not to be in Karen’s life, and not be on this journey with her but we’re not right for each other in terms of her career.
"I will always admire her for her career but it took her away from me a lot. She’d be away and I’d be at home on my own."
Karen was previously married to fellow former Strictly pro Kevin Clifton from 2015 to 2018.
Before that she was wed to ex-dance partner Matthew Hauer.
