Gabriela IrimiaGabriela IrimiaWe have a last minute entry into the new couples of 2006 list.

And the twosome are Lib Dem MP Lembit Opik, 41, and Cheeky Girl Gabriela Irimia, 24.

That isn't a typo.

The unlikely pair met on the set of Channel Five's All Star Talent Show and started dating soon after.

But it hasn't been a fairytale ride to Loveland so far, largely because of Lembit's ex, weather forecaster Sian Lloyd, 48, who says he cheated on her with the wannabe pop star.

She told the Mail On Sunday:

"I was in bed getting my beauty sleep when he was out chatting up his Cheeky Girl. His affair is like something out of a pantomime.

In return, Gabrielle told the News Of The World:

"Their relationship was dying before I came on the scene... I feel sorry for her. I don't want to be rude but she's twice my age, she's maybe scared and doesn't want to be alone."

But we'll leave the last word to Gabriela's mum, who has said: "There is no doubt whatsoever that it is a genuine relationship."
