Letitia DeanLetitia DeanLet us teach you a new phrase - the cougar.

It describes a lady of more mature years, bagging herself a younger model man.

But not in a desperado way.

And Letitia Dean is rumoured to be the latest celeb cougar. She's been dating a chappy half her age.

Letitia, 40, started romancing stagehand Alex Lillyman, 20, after splitting from her husband last year.

A source close to the star said: "It's amazing Letitia is able to put all the energy she does into her dance moves.

"Her love life would be enough to wear most people out."

Alex himself also 'fessed up to the coupling, he told The People: "Yes, we have been having a relationship."

But Letitia herself only had this to say: "We are good friends."

Alex, from Pitsford, Northampton, said: "At first I thought Letitia was just being friendly. But she came on very strong.

"She flirted with me so much. I fancied her from the start.

The twosome also went on dates at Alex's local boozer: "We went to the pub because we knew we wouldn't be hassled.

"Although everyone in there knows Letitia has been my girlfriend I knew we were safe."

But are they together now? If they ever were at all...
