Alicia Douvall's new man revealed after spending cosy Valentine's Day together - and he's nothing like her usual type

She has been linked to some of the biggest names in the world of entertainment including Simon Cowell, Mickey Rourke, and Dean Gaffney.

Yet MailOnline can reveal that Alicia Douvall has once again found love with a new man who has a career worlds away from her celebrity exes.

The 45-year-old former glamour model is ‘dating’ director of Solution Engineering David Anstiss.

The pair first went public with their relationship last week on Valentine’s Day with a series of romantic snaps.

The blonde beauty stunned in a black dress as she wrapped her arm around the hunky male, with the two leaning their heads in close together for the picture.

And David certainly pulled out all the stops for the TV personality for the romantic holiday, gifting her a huge bouquet of red roses as well as a red balloon, which Alicia shared on her post.

The pair appeared to have spent their Valentine’s at a H๏τel, with a H๏τel phone and notebook seen in the background of the sH๏τ.

She simply captioned her post: ‘#valentinesday’ alongside two red heart emojis.

MailOnline has contacted representatives of Alicia for comment.

While not much is known about Alicia’s recent dating history, at the height of her fame Alicia enjoyed romances and did subsequent kiss and tell stories with the likes of Simon Cowell, Mick Hucknall, P Diddy, Mickey Rourke, and Dean Gaffney.

The beauty was also allegedly linked to John Terry, Fabien Barthez, Calum Best, Shaggy and Dane Bower, while she was engaged to Dennis Rodman.

Back in 2015 during her stint in the Celebrity Big Brother house, Alicia revealed that she was living with Dwight Yorke when he ‘cheated’ on her with Katie Price.

Alicia’s post comes about her incredible transformation over the years, which has seen her go from surgery-loving party girl to owner of a natural beauty empire.

She has had more than 400 cosmetic procedures totalling to a self-estimated £1 million, but the former glamour model has had a jaw-dropping metamorphosis in recent years.

In the early Noughties Alicia was never far away from a headline and a wild party, known for her string of celeb boyfriends and her constant cycle of surgeries.

But after 18 boob jobs, 11 nose tweaks, bum implants and even having her ribs shaved down Alicia gave up going under the knife and over the past decade has built a successful skincare brand, centered, ironically enough, around the ethos of natural anti-aging.

It’s quite the pivot for Alicia, now a mother of two, whose previous life ambition was to have the biggest boobs in Britain.

Born Sarah Howes (she changed her name to one more suited to glamour modelling), her father was a self-made millionaire and Tory councillor and she attended the prestigious Springfield Park School, Horsham, West SusSєx.

But Alicia has admitted being sent to boarding school aged nine was the start of her issues with self-confidence and an obsession with her looks.

She would save up the pocket money sent to her by her parents and buy beauty products such as tanning tablets and hair dye.

In one of her most outlandish childhood stunts she even once, when she was just 11, had a sunbed shipped to the school.

Aged 17, and after being expelled, she had her first boob job after deciding to pursue glamour modelling, a decision based on the fact she was too short for catwalk work.

By the late 1990s she was a Page 3 girl, modelling for magazines and presenting on Playboy TV and earning £5000 a week.

She also boosted her bank balance and fame with a 2006 appearance on Love Island, where she made a six figure sum, despite lasting just one week in the villa.

But at the centre of the fame Alicia was addicted to cosmetic surgery, at one point having an enhancement every single week.

‘Apart from my daughter’s education, I spent nothing on anything but surgery. I ate beans on toast and never had a holiday. I even persuaded boyfriends to pay for operations,’ she told The Mail On Sunday in 2013.

‘Even when my daughter begged me to stop having surgery, I carried on. I was convinced the next operation was going to make everything OK, so I didn’t listen.’

The arrival of her second daughter Papaya in 2011 saw Alicia, who is also mum to Georgia, 29, vow to never go under the knife again, but she struggled to break free of her addiction.

She was diagnosed with body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), also called dysmorphia. A mental illness linked to anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder, or OCD, sufferers obsess over their appearance and have a distorted perception of the way they look.

After 20 years of being known for her enhancements, she has reinvented herself as a spokesperson for aging naturally.

In 2011, she and her daughter launched Douvall’s beauty brand after discovering the benefits of cold-pressed argan oil on their skin.

Alicia, who once sparked outrage when she said she wouldn’t mind if her eldest daughter had plastic surgery too, launched the business with Georgia and invested all of her £20,000 savings.

And it’s paid off with the brand stocked in the likes of Sephora, and Superdrug in the UK and Walmart in the US.
