Gareth Gates looks worlds away from Pop Idol days as he strips shirtless to show off his buff body in Ibiza
GARETH Gates looked worlds away from his Pop Idol days as he strips shirtless to show off his buff body in Ibiza.
The singer showed off his impressive six pack in a topless snap after revealing he’s got a new girlfriend.
The Pop Idol star, 39, took to his Instagram and shared a video taken by fellow Brit singer MNEK, who captured Gareth performing at Jacaranda Lounge in Ibiza.
In it he stands in front of the crowd with a microphone and belts out his familiar hits, in what appears to be boxers and nothing else.
In another snap taken by the venue Gareth poses with his impressive gym-buffed physique on display.
He and his DJ ex Chloe called it a day in November following a three year romance.
He has now grown close to brunette beauty Allana, who is currently appearing in the West End production of Grease.
She has also starred in a number of other theatre and panto productions across the UK.
Allana first hinted at their budding romance back in May, sharing a stunning photo of her posing in her “happy place” while holding the hand of man who was out of shot.
When approached for comment by The Sun, Gareth’s rep said: “Allana and Gareth enjoyed a string of dates after meeting in Panto last year, both appearing in Jack and the Beanstalk.”
Gareth’s new romance comes months after it was revealed that he had split from long term partner Chloe.
The pair dated for over two-and-a-half years before calling it a day in November last year.
The Sun exclusively revealed their separation at the time, with the pair also unfollowing each other on instagram.
Chloe later deleted all images of Gareth from her social media account.
A source told The Sun: “The writing was on the wall for some time, and it became clear there was trouble between them as Gareth has not liked or commented on any of Chloe’s pictures since November 11th.
“With Christmas approaching, they have called it quits and want to make a fresh start apart in 2023.”
The Pop Idol runner-up began dating Chloe back in April 2020 after meeting in Ibiza.
Chloe was Gareth’s first romance since he split from former fiancee Coronation Street star Faye Brooks in August 2019.
He shares daughter Missy, 12, with ex-wife Suzanne Mole.
