Michael and Rukku looked every inch the glam couple as they attended the premiere of The Roses in Leicester Square.
The new couple was seen posing arm in arm on the red carpet.
They were dressed up for the occasion, with Michael wearing a white shirt and waistcoat, with black trousers.
While his glam new girlfriend wore a stunning faux leather off the shoulder dress.
GOING INSTAGRAM OFFICIAL
It’s believed Michael and Rukku started dating just under a year ago.
However, they waited until last month to make their relationship Instagram official.
In July, Michael shared a slew of loved-up snaps from a night out at the boxing.
He wrote next to it: “Her first official fight night!
“And what a night it was, here’s to many more adventures.”
Before this, the couple hadn’t confirmed they were officially together.

His decision to switch his affections from Amber to Joanna stirred controversy and divided fans, making him one of the show’s most-talked about contestants.
After leaving the villa, Michael appeared on MTV’s Celebrity Ex On The Beach in 2020.
On the show the star was seen having a whirlwind romance with former Love Islander Ellie Brown.
The pair ended up calling it quits just a few months after confirming their relationship.
Meanwhile, Michael’s new girlfriend Rukku joined EastEnders in 2019 playing one half of the Ahmed sisters alongside Priya Davdra’s character Iqra – but she left the soap a year later.
