Pretty Amelia and heart throb Niall are thought to have been dating for the last two months throughout quarantine and since lockdown measures eased they have enjoyed a string of dates.
But Amelia's former electrician boyfriend Joe McGinn, 24, who last met up with the brunette in May for a date in his van, has reportedly been left "shocked and confused" at hearing his ex has moved on with Nial.
Joe first met Amelia in 2015 and they dated for two years before they split due to her moving to London from the West Midlands for work.
They reportedly reconnected again in January and began going for romantic meals together.
A source close to the sparky, told The Sun: “She told Joe she loved him after they started speaking again in January."
They added: “Joe’s shocked and confused. He’s got nothing against Niall. And he’ll always have a soft spot for Mia. He just wishes she’d been more honest."

Mirror Online have contacted a rep for Niall for comment.
