Who is Lewis Capaldi's model girlfriend? As new couple put on ...

Lewis Capaldi went public with his new girlfriend at the BRIT Awards on Saturday - and she's a famous face in her own right.

The Scottish crooner, 26, performed his smash-hit Forget Me at the bash before heading to Universal's after party with Ellie MacDowall at 180 The Strand in London.

Onlookers couldn't get over how close the couple looked, with one saying the singer "couldn't keep his hands off" his new girlfriend, who was reportedly seen kissing her boyfriend on a sofa at the bash.

But who is the brunette beauty making Lewis so happy?

Edinburgh-born Ellie is a model and actress, who is also trained in singing and dancing.

It is believed the performer is around 23-years-old and graduated from the MGA Academy of Performing Arts in 2020.

Ellie boasts her own YouTube channel, which includes some of her polished performances, including a steamy duet with a male partner to Let's Get Loud by Jennifer Lopez.

The actress is now said to have bagged a role as Cary Grant’s daughter Jennifer in new ITV biopic, Archie, about the Hollywood star’s life.

The series will air on the channel's new streaming service, ITVX later this year.

It seems Ellie and Lewis have been dating for several weeks, with the model sharing a string of videos and pictures of the Scottish singer on her Instagram as far back as December.

In one clip, Lewis looks delighted with life as he hikes in the rain in Scotland, while in another, Ellie shared a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the singer's recent gig in Dublin.

Attendees at the BRITs after party on Saturday said: “It’s official, Lewis is in love and he couldn’t be happier.

"He has been dating Ellie for some time now and while they are usually very low key, he couldn’t keep his hands off her at the after-party. It was very sweet to see him so happy, and Ellie clearly adores him too.

“They sat on the sofa kissing and talking for awhile before Lewis headed off to the dance floor. They make a lovely couple," the onlooker told The Sun.

Ellie watched her boyfriend perform his number one single Forget Me at the BRITs, ahead of the release of his second album Broken by Desire to Be Heavenly Sent.

Lewis was up for an award for Song Of The Year against fellow Scots LF System, Sam Smith, and Harry Styles among others nominated.

However, while he missed out on taking a home a gong as well - as being called Sam Capaldi by host Mo Gilligan - the singer looked the picture of happiness as he partied the night away with Ellie.
