Didn’t Sam Smith bleat on about being unlucky in love on his album In The Lonely Hour, bless him.

Yeah, he can sing but someone snog the bloke and stop him moaning about being alone now!

Oh, what’s that you say? Someone already has? The star is finally dating someone and he looks quite a lot like, err, X Factor winner Ben Haenow.

Is that you, Ben?
Is that you, Ben?

Sam met new beau Jonathan when he worked as an extra on the video for his latest single Like I Can.

And while he admits the relationship has only just begun, it seems he may have struck lucky.

Making it sound like he picked Jonathan out of some kind of speed date line-up, Sam told The Sun: “It’s very early days. I’m talking very, very, very early days. But he’s really sweet… he was one of 20 extras.”

Is THAT you, Ben?!

He added: “It’s a surreal thing to be talking about because I haven’t even confirmed that we’re official seeing each other.”

Jonathan might have his work cut out at cheering Sam up though as he admits he’s probably always going to be down in the dumps.

The singer said: “People need to realise I’m never going to be happy. The reason I do what I do is because I’m the artist who is always going to be blue about something.”

Err, good luck Jonathan, mate!
