Love is still in the air for several of the Love Island residents who have now traded Mallorca for London. Dr Alex, however, is still very much single, and this week he tagged along on a double date.

American actress Chloe Moretz, star of Kick Ass and ex-girlfriend of Brooklyn Beckham, is in London promoting her new film The Miseducation of Cameron Post.

The next evening, she hosted a screening of the film before a late dinner at Berkeley Square’s Sexy Fish on Wednesday.

He dined at C, the Mayfair Italian.
