Made In Chelsea star Ruby Adler is dating the convicted drug dealer son of a former VIP dominatrix.
Millionaire’s daughter Ruby, 28, is smitten with model Nicholas Sinclair, recently freed after being jailed on two counts of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs.
Sinclair’s mum Natalie Rowe – who worked under the name of Mistress Pain – was once snapped with former Chancellor George Osborne, with a line of cocaine visible.
Osborne, once friends with Sinclair’s late father, strongly denied taking the drug.
Sinclair – a father of one – has a tempestuous background. He is scarred for life after a sword attack and boasted on TV that his pitbull would “rip a person’s f***ing liver, spleen and pancreas”.

A source said of the romance with Ruby: “Most of her cast-mates were thrilled to see her loved-up with Nicholas.
“But what most people don’t know is he was behind bars until a few months ago. He was mixed up with some serious people.”
The pair confirmed their relationship on Instagram.
Model agency talent scout Ruby posted a snap of Sinclair captioned: “All I want for Christmas is you.”
He replied with a loved-up pic, writing: “Diamonds and rubies.” Fellow reality star Emily Blackwell gushed: “I’m so happy for you! You deserve it.”
Reality fans had followed Ruby’s romance with Reza Amiri-Garroussi, 35, after she joined Made In Chelsea in 2020. Their relationship reportedly ended shortly after Sinclair was released from jail.

He was given four-and-a-half years and freed after serving around half of that time.
The source added: “Ruby’s family are very well off. Her education and social circle has always been very elite, ultra high net worth individuals. Prison, drug dealing and a stabbing are a world away from her family life.
“Everyone will be hoping everything works out for the best.
“People say he’s great company and, of course, anyone can change their ways. Only time will tell.”

Before he was locked up Sinclair appeared on Channel 5 TV show Dangerous Dog Owners and Proud – boasting about his pitbull’s prowess.
In an interview for a fashion website he also told how he was stabbed when set upon by a 12-strong mob after a fracas at a nightclub.
He said: “It kicked off into an all-out brawl in the street. I saw one boy pull out a newspaper that had a long blade hanging out of it. It was a sword and he began to lunge at me. As I ran for my car and opened the door, I felt what was like a warm punch. I noticed the tip of the blade hanging out of my chest. I realised it had gone right through me.”
He was saved by medics and had a 14-hour operation. Sinclair, who revealed his scars, was nursed back to health by his mum.
Natalie, 59, was at the centre of attention in 2005 over a picture of her and her friend, ex-Tory minister Mr Osborne. It was taken in the 1990s, when he was a journalist.
Former Big Brother star Natalie was a dominatrix who mixed with high-fliers. In her memoir she revealed she charged clients hundreds of pounds per hour.

William went to Eton and knew Osborne through mutual friends.
Ruby has posted a string of Instagram snaps about her life. Her dad is a financier and the family have a multi-million pound London home.
She went to Francis Holland private school in London. Modes Cara and Poppy Delevingne and Gordon Ramsay’s daughter Tilly are also ex-pupils.
