Ellie Bamber's new boyfriend revealed as handsome Danish actor and model Oliver Overgaard Reichhardt - after the pair packed on the PDA at Wimbledon
's new boyfriend has been revealed as handsome Danish actor and model Oliver Overgaard Reichhardt. The actress, 28, who famously dated Game Of Throne's Richard Madden, put on a cosy display with Oliver at Wimbledon on Monday. She couldn't wipe the smile off her face as she cuddled up to the hunk while Novak Djokovic took on Australia's Alex de Minaur. Despite the action on the court the lovebirds only seemed to have eyes for each other as they giggled and chatted intently while holding hands. And now he has been unveiled as a trendy model who has a fair few acting credits to his name as well. He starred in Danish TV series Salsa from 2023 to 2025 as character Karl where he acted alongside the likes of Safina Coster-Waldau and Filippa Navarana. Before this he worked on two other projects - short films called The Shepherd in 2023 and Parat in 2022. He has also worked as crew on other Danish projects including series Kometernes jul and was a runner for the series Tinka og sjælens spejl. Oliver is currently signed to Lindberg Management an agency which 'represents some of the most renowned and talented Scandinavian and European actors, directors and scriptwriters.' His last Instagram post is from 2024 when he shared a series of stylish snaps with pals in London. Further back on his feed he shared some of his modelling shots including a sleek campaign for Mismo Bags. The new lovebirds are yet to post each other on their social medias and it is not known when they began dating. Wimbledon was their first public appearance together. Ellie was spotted packing on the PDA with Oliver at day eight of Wimbledon on Monday. Ellie looked chic on the outing in a dark grey co-ord which boasted a halterneck top and matching wide-legged trousers. Despite the action on the court the lovebirds only seemed to have eyes for each other as they giggled and chatted intently while holding hands Shielding her eye behind £195 Mulberry Raffy Sunglasses she toted her essentials in a pre-loved £500 Mulberry bag. Meanwhile Oliver wore a blue shirt which he teamed with shades and silver jewellery and also slicked back his blonde locks from his handsome face. MailOnline have contacted Ellie's representatives for comment. Ellie and the Bodyguard's Richard Madden, 39, split in early 2019 following an 18 month relationship. The pair were believed to have gone through a rocky patch where they 'argued every day' before splitting after deciding that their problems weren't fixable. The couple, who were once rarely seen without one another, had apparently become 'worlds apart' following Richard's acting success, an insider told The Sun at the time. The source added that the split came as a huge blow to Richard and Ellie, but they believed the decision was in their best interests. They told the news outlet: 'They were arguing almost daily towards the end and, despite considering couples' therapy, it became evident there were far too many issues that could not be fixed. 'Ellie is a bit quieter, and wants to focus purely on her work. It felt like their day-to-day lives were increasingly becoming worlds apart.' They continued that Richard and Ellie were never apart during the early days of their relationship, which meant that their families became close too, therefore those close to them were also devastated by the break up. Ellie will soon be starring in an upcoming Kate Moss biopic focusing on her now iconic collaboration with celebrated figurative painter Lucian Freud. Kate was 28 years old and well-established as one of Britain's most successful fashion models when Freud painted her in the nude, an arduous nine-month project carried out at the artist's Holland Park home in 2002. The painting would be sold privately for £3.5million some three years later, but its waif-like subject and her relationship with Freud will be reenacted for a wider audience in a forthcoming film. Directed by James Lucas, the appropriately titled Moss & Freud will feature rising star Ellie as the supermodel in what could arguably be her most challenging role to date. The task at hand is all the more daunting given she was handpicked by Kate, but those charting her career - including the supermodel, a self-confessed fan - will know the role is in safe hands. Ellie was born in Surrey to investment banker father David and mother Zoe, who now works as her manager. She then developed a keen interest in acting from the age of 12 after being inspired by her drama teacher at Hawley Place School, now Hurst Lodge School, in Berkshire. Mainstream success would soon follow, with the then 15-year-old starring alongside Cold Feet star Hermione Norris and Martin Clunes in 2012 miniseries A Mother's Son. It would be the first of many carefully chosen TV roles, with Ellie taking another small part in The Musketeers before emerging as a star in her own right with the lead in a 2018 adaptation of Les Misérables. She would play Cosette in an ensemble cast featuring Dominic West, David Oyelowo, Lily Collins and Derek Jacobi - who reunites with Ellie by playing the enigmatic Freud in her latest film.

BEHIND THE SCENES AT INTERCONTINENTAL MALDIVES MAAMUNAGAU RESORT
The InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort is a true jewel in the heart of the Indian Ocean – surrounded by crystal-clear water, white sandy beaches and a green, tropical landscape. But as impressive as the backdrop may be, it is the people behind the scenes who give the resort its special character. With dedication, warmth and professionalism, the staff ensure that every stay is exceptional. One of these dedicated colleagues takes center stage today: Recreation Manager, Suman Saurabh Sahoo. Born in India, he has over 15 years of international experience in leisure and guest services. He joined the resort team in July 2024 after being inspired by the vision of helping to create a completely new leisure department from scratch. His story is an example of the passion and commitment that make InterContinental Maldives what it is – a place where hospitality is lived. Suman Saurabh Sahoo started working as the resort's Recreation Manager in 2024 – a lot has changed since then. 'Our aim from the outset was to focus the resort even more on leisure, activities and entertainment,' explains Sahoo. While the focus used to be primarily on the 'Planet Trekkers' kids' club, the offer has since been expanded extensively. Today, guests of all ages can expect a variety of programs: from Muay Thai boxing and Salsa Dance classes to Aqua Zumba and an exciting children's Pirate Cruise. The numerous STEM activities – exciting workshops and experiences in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, specially designed for young explorers – are particularly special. Sahoo was impressed as soon as he arrived: 'My first impression was overwhelming. The entire management team welcomed me personally – it was very warm and touching.' In addition to the modern and stylish appearance of the resort, he particularly praises the excellent infrastructure: 'The staff accommodation is some of the best in the country – that shows how much care and foresight has been put into the planning here.' What personally fascinates him most about living and working in the Maldives is the unique natural environment: 'The vast ocean, the tropical climate and the peace and quiet that allows me to read or write – it's a gift.' The creative approach to challenges also makes a lasting impression on him: 'In my seven years here, I have learned that there is a solution to every problem – you just have to be creative enough.' And when asked whether the magic of the Maldives can still be felt after all these years, he answers without hesitation: 'Absolutely. Someone once said to me: '99% of the Maldives is underwater' and I always carry that thought with me. It's a privilege to work in a place that others only know from vacation.'

Six methods people claim will induce labour, rated by a midwife
Meghan Markle tried to twerk her baby out — and she might be onto something. To mark Princess Lilibet's fourth birthday, the Duchess of Sussex shared a never-before-seen video from the maternity ward, filmed before her daughter was born. The clip, which some are calling cringeworthy, showed Meghan throwing it back to Baby Momma Dance by Starrkeisha, with Prince Harry bopping alongside. Just your average royal birth preparation. She captioned the video: 'Both of our children were a week past their due dates.. so when spicy food, all that walking and acupuncture didn't work — there was only one thing left to do.' To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video With Lillibet arriving safely, the world can only assume Meghan's rhythmic tactics worked. We've all heard the same theories as Meghan, but every mum's experience is different, and what works for some, definitely won't for others. So, can a last-minute boogie really get things moving? Metro asked Lesley Bland, lead midwife for education at My Expert Midwife, to share her thoughts on the most popular labour-inducing tricks — and how effective they are out of five. Turns out Meghan's dancing wasn't so random after all. 'If you are going to try anything, try a little boogie, shimmy, or a wiggle,' says Lesley. The midwife explains dancing — or similar exercise — can encourage the baby's head to descend through the pelvis, which in turn puts pressure onto the cervix, which can start uterine contractions.' However, she adds: 'As always, there is no guarantee that your Lambada or Salsa will induce labour, but you might have fun doing it, which will release that incredible hormone of love, oxytocin, which in itself is associated with labour.' Lesley advises giving it a try. 'At best, your labour will kick in; at worst, you'll have fun! Lesley says this is another method of encouraging labour that she can get on board with. 'Adopting an upright mobile position can help to get the baby's head down into the pelvis, which puts pressure onto the cervix and kickstarts early labour.' She says gentle walking three to four times a week, and curb walking (where one foot is on the curb and one on the road) have been recommended. 'Exercise in general can have positive effects on labour and recovery in the postnatal period,' she adds. While it's not guaranteed to induce labour, she suggests trying it to boost your mental health and general well-being too. This is a commonly suggested way to induce labour, but is there any truth to it? Lesley says: 'There have been some trials looking at sexual intercourse to induce labour, but the results are very spurious, and the conclusions are uncertain. 'We know sperm contains prostaglandins, which are hormone-like substances that are used in the induction of labour to make the cervix more favourable.' She adds that sex can also release the love hormone, oxytocin, which is associated with labour. Is there any harm in trying it? Lesley says: 'Some women find having sex at the end of the pregnancy really uncomfortable, while others enjoy the intimacy it brings with their partner before the sleepless nights.' She adds that sex should always be avoided if you have a low-lying placenta, have experienced any vaginal bleeding or have an amniotic water shave broken. If you have been advised not to for any other reason by your healthcare team, you should also abstain. Becca Mascarenhas, Midwife at The Portland Hospital (part of HCA Healthcare), tells Metro: 'Expectant mums are often keen to try natural ways to bring on labour, but it's important to know which methods are based on evidence, and which ones are more of a myth. 'It's also important to speak to your midwife before trying any labour-inducing techniques. Every woman and every pregnancy is different, so personalised advice is key. 'I would also add that we only ever recommend any of these techniques from 37 weeks pregnant to reduce the risk of pre-term labour.' Lesley says: 'This one has done the rounds for years, and, to be honest, is probably one of the ones that I would be encouraging women not to try.' Spicy food can cause a degree of irritation to the gastro system, which is more likely to cause diarrhoea than induce labour, according to Lesley. 'If you enjoy spicy food, then there is no reason not to have it if you really fancy it, but as a midwife, I wouldn't be using it as a means of inducing labour.' Some suggest eating prunes for the same reason as eating spicy food. Lesly says: 'It's more likely to give you loose bowels than induce labour, but if you fancy some then go for it.' Drinking raspberry leaf tea has been shared far and wide on social media as a natural remedy to induce labour. However, Lesley advises against it. She explains: 'Raspberry leaf tea helps to strengthen the smooth uterine muscle wall, which means that when contractions do start, they are more effective and efficient, helping labour to progress well.' More Trending So, the fruity tea gets an extra point for helping during labour, but as Lesley says: 'There is no evidence to support the theory that drinking it will actually induce labour, and as a midwife, I would not recommend this for that purpose.' Lesley explains that the method of drinking castor oil was used in the past as an alternative method for inducing labour, even during the 20th Century. She says: 'As a registered midwife, I would strongly recommend not even giving it a go. 'There has been some evidence that suggests castor oil can cause some uterine contractions, but if we are being honest about it, the effects are more likely to be an upset stomach and diarrhoea, nausea and vomiting than induction of labour.'
