ONCE upon a time, the showbiz circuit was dominated by a very specific breed of unapologetic heartbreakers.

We all remember the days when was single-handedly working his way through the Made in Chelsea cast and was the undisputed Romeo of .

But times have changed. The old guard has swapped messy nightclub appearances for marriage. Spenny is a devoted dad of three and Mark is happy at his mansion with wife and their new baby.

Into the void left by our retired lotharios has stepped a brand-new generation of smooth-talkers and soapland shaggers.

From Premier League pitches to the villa, these are the current, strictly single kings and queens of the scene who simply refuse to be tamed.

Lock up your daughters – here is our definitive guide to Britain’s celebrity heartbreakers…

Pete Wicks

With his long locks, brooding stare, and sprawling tattoos, Pete Wicks is the ultimate reality TV lothario.

The 37-year-old spent years as the resident heartthrob of TOWIE, famously breaking ’s heart before diving into in a secret, and very messy situationship with ‘best mate’ .

It is a pattern that has followed him ever since. His years-long friendship with Love Island siren eventually turned romantic in 2024 after they were spotted smooching in a South London pub garden.

But despite navigating a long-term relationship when he was on Strictly and she on I’m A Celeb, things quickly turned fiery, and after they split, she was asked where he was and replied: “probably cheating”. Something he had vehemently denied.

“The problem with Pete is that he is completely allergic to commitment,” said one pal. “And that has got him into trouble. He doesn’t mean to hurt people, but there is often collateral damage.”

Then the rumour mill went into overdrive after he locked lips with his Strictly partner on tour last September.

But Pete has stubbornly set the record straight: he is not settling down, he is not engaged, and his bachelor status remains firmly intact.

Despite that, he was recently dragged into best friend split with her footballer husband , which happened just months after Pete and Olivia were spotted cosying up on the back of a yacht.

Scotty T

It’s almost impossible to keep track of the bedpost notches when it comes to legend Scotty T.

Turbo T – real name Scott Timlin – practically invented the modern reality TV , bouncing from bed to bed in the house with terrifying efficiency.

When the 37-year-old was asked about his claim to have bedded more than 1000 women, he replied: “Yeah, it’s probably more than that, but I don’t have a black book and count.”

He has even shown off his sexual prowess on his highly lucrative account.

While he’s recently matured slightly – welcoming a baby boy with a student – the arrangement is strictly co-parenting.

Despite high-profile relationships with Francesca Toole and , Scotty remains wildly unmarried and single.

One friend whispered: “Scotty watched the breakdown of his own parents’ marriage, and it’s almost like he is rebelling against that. He enjoys the bachelor lifestyle far too much.”

“He is a cheeky-chappy who will promise you the world, make you laugh, and be in a taxi home before you’ve even woken up.”

Lucien Laviscount

From to rubbing shoulders with royalty, Lucien Laviscount is the social climber of romantic conquests.

We first saw his seduction skills in action when he romanced cougar on Celebrity as a fresh-faced 19-year-old, but he’s since upgraded from the Z list.

The heartthrob, 33, was papped snogging Little Mix’s in a rickshaw, and most recently, sparked a massive global frenzy after getting cosy with following a music video shoot.

One LA source: “He is charm personified, and that accent is to die for. The American ladies love him!”

The suave, impeccably dressed actor is currently single and undeniably Britain’s most eligible export.

Joey Essex

is the original Essex playboy who is still searching for his “salty potato” – his own slang for an attractive woman.

His love life has been public property ever since his famously tearful engagement to over a decade ago, followed by a very dramatic breakup in Marbella. Where else?

While Sam went on to find love and have three children, Joey is still desperately appearing on every reality show which will have him.

Since the split, Joey has dated models, his Dancing on Ice pro Vanessa Bauer, and even headed into the Love Island villa as a celebrity bombshell in a bid to find The One.

His Brazilian bikini model ex, Brenda Santos, said he was very demanding in the bedroom. She explained: “We would have sex every day. Sometimes we would do it many times a day, depending on the mood.

“He was giving and generous in bed. Joey said he loved my body, especially my ‘bum-bum’ as you say in .”

It seems no matter how many reality show showmances he embarks on, Joey always ends up back on the market.

One snitch said: “He is still doing nightclub appearances at the age of 35. It’s all a bit tragic. But to be fair, when he did one last month, the women of Taunton couldn’t keep their hands off him while they were taking pics.”

Miles Nazaire

With his French-British heritage, chiselled jaw, and endless supply of fitted knitwear, Miles Nazaire, 30, is the ultimate Chelsea partyboy.

Across seven years on , Miles perfected the art of the “situationship”, charming half of SW3 into bed before immediately retreating the second they asked for a label.

He also caused a storm when he said he would treat a woman he intends to marry with more respect than someone with whom he had a casual fling.

He said: “I’m not saying I wouldn’t experiment or have those rough or crazy sex things with her. But there are things that I know that I have done with girls that I would not do with the girl that is the right one for me.”

Having recently quit the show to pursue a “drama-free” life as he approached 30, Miles remains entirely unattached.

If the people of the Middle East hadn’t suffered enough in recent weeks, Miles moved to the UAE this year, telling his fans: “Trying to find my habibti in Dubai.”

But one acquaintance sniped: “I think he loves himself more than he could ever love anyone else.” Ouch!

Max Bowden

Whoever thought that Albert Square’s Ben Mitchell would turn into a hunk? Former bad boy Max Bowden, 31, who played Phil Mitchell’s son, has firmly earned a reputation as soapland’s resident lothario, notoriously blurring the lines between work and play.

His love life reads like a soap script itself: a messy split from his pregnant ex-girlfriend Roisin Buckle, swiftly followed by a highly publicised romance with co-star , who plays Whitney Dean.

There were rumours of “secret romance” with EastEnders actress and snogging Corrie’s after meeting as castmates in the play Murder at Midnight.

Katie and Max split in December, but have awkwardly resumed the tour of the play they are starring in.

A source said: “It’s all a bit frosty backstage, but judging by Max’s track record, it shouldn’t take him long to move on.”

Lando Norris

Formula 1 drivers are the new rock stars, and British superstar is leading the charge both on and off the grid.

Young, obscenely wealthy (around £200 million), and constantly travelling the globe, the 26-year-old World Champion has the ultimate bachelor lifestyle.

After ending his long-term romance with Portuguese model Luisinha Oliveira, he caused a stir by dating another Portuguese model, Magui Corceiro, but the pair split earlier this year.

Not that has stopped the racing driver from liking her very racy lingerie snaps on .

Now officially confirming he is a “single man” in the paddock, Lando is currently F1’s most eligible bachelor, with women throwing themselves at his at every Grand Prix.

One F1 snitch said: “He’s got models queuing up to date him on every continent, but he is enjoying the single life.”

James ‘Lockie’ Lock

When there was drama in Brentwood, was usually at the centre of it.

A towering, muscle-bound TOWIE veteran, Lockie, 39, is notorious for his explosive, high-profile relationships that always end in disaster.

Whether he was clashing with , having screaming matches in Dubai with , or enjoying a headline-grabbing fling with Megan Barton-Hanson, Lockie simply doesn’t do quiet romances.

During his relationship with Yaz, she discovered him leaving a hotel room in with three girls, she said: ‘I was banging on the door, and one of the girls opened up. She had her hairpiece hanging out, and another girl was pulling her drawers up. I will never forgive him for that night ever.’

Then, when he appeared on Celebs Go Dating, he was forced to apologise for dumping his love interest straight after a steamy romp. He said: “I’m always naughty. It’s what makes me, me,” but insisted, “I didn’t f*** her and chuck her, I’m too old for that stuff.”

Now based in Dubai, where he runs a fitness company, Lockie is currently unattached and back to playing the field.
