Laurence Fox is in love with photographer in lockdown after Billie Piper divorce

Laurence Fox has found love again with photographer Sara McKinnon.

The couple first crossed paths just shortly before he caused a stir with his appearance on Question Time in January which forced him to retreat from the limelight.

It's been a whirlwind five months but the pair have fallen madly in love and have been sticking out lockdown together at his London flat.

His children - Winston, 11, and Eugene, eight - from his first marriage to Billie Piper also spend time at his swanky city apartment.

Laurence and Sara have been spied at a catalogue of showbiz affairs together including the GQ magazine dinner in January.

His pals have shared the actor has been incredibly happy having found new love after his tough divorce.

A source told MailOnline of their romance: "He has had a good feeling about her, it is delightful to see him happy after everything he has been through."

The Mirror has approached Laurence Fox's representatives for further comment.

Sara has famous roots herself as she's the daughter of the Emmy award-winning nature documentary producer Michael McKinnon.

Laurence hasn't found a love to last since his marriage to Billie broke down in 2016.

The famous acting duo wed in 2007 and had two children together but it wasn't meant to be for the long haul.

Their divorce turned nasty in a long custody battle in the High Court in 2018.

Laurence romanced Heart Radio DJ Lilah Parsons for 10 months but their love soon ended.

The story of his new love comes after he won an apology in an out-of-court settlement with actors' union Equity.

Equity were forced to apologise after they branded the actor a "disgrace" over his controversial Question Time appearance.

Laurence called out an audience member on the show for being "racist" when he was called a "privileged white male".

Equity then labelled Fox a "disgrace" in a number of tweets.

The Lewis star only returned to the limelight once he had won his apology from Equity.

The statement read: "We are sorry that in the tweets he was called a 'disgrace' by Equity.

"It was a mistake for Equity as an organisation to criticise him in this way.

"Nothing in Equity's later statement was intended as a slur on his character or views or to suggest that he should be denied the ability to work. We would like to make that clear.

"Equity and Laurence Fox condemn prejudice unequivocally in all its forms."

In February, Fox announced he would be taking a break from Twitter after he was "shocked" and "depressed" by the nasty messages he was being bombarded with.
