‘@florencepugh OMGGGG FLORENCE WHAT IS THIS IM SO EXCITED ❤️❤️’ 

Yungblud first teased the news that a British actress was starring in his video at a playback for his new album last month.

He said: ‘We have got a mᴀssive f****** British actress in the video — it is going to be iconic. This song is called Zombie. 

‘It is a ballad and what I learned as a songwriter is trying to write about a specific event but not forcing you to feel what I feel when you hear it.

‘To form your own experience, your own ideas, your own life. I remember when I was making this album, I am really close with Lewis [Capaldi] and he was like, ‘Dom, just fing sing, man!’.

‘I have always been shouting a lot and so I am singing on this song.’

Yungblud recently revealed he believes he’s finally found ‘the love of his life’ in Cher’s goddaughter – despite breaking off their relationship following a period of intense ‘insecurity.’ 

He had finally settled into a long-term relationship with Los Angeles-based singer and fashion designer Jesse Jo Stark after a string of failed romances, among them a short-lived fling with Halsey. 

But in a far-reaching interview with Paul C. Brunson’s We Need To Talk podcast this week, he admitted that Jesse, 34, agreed to a temporary separation as he wrestled with the pressures of living life in the spotlight. 

Yungblud said: ‘This year has been such a strange thing for me because it’s the first time that probably the biggest love of my life, I’ve taken space from and I’ve asked for space. 

‘Last year I was really having problems with myself and it was all a me problem.’ 

He added: ‘Her name’s Jesse Stark. She’s probably the most incredible person I’ve ever met and she’s my best friend and I feel so lucky to be in her orbit.’

The Doncaster-born star admitted he maintains regular contact with Jesse, who is the daughter of the founder and CEO of luxury goods brand Chrome Hearts, Richard Stark, and is goddaughter to pop veteran Cher. 

Yungblud said: ‘I got to talk this through with her and she understood and she needed a moment. 

‘We talk every Sunday and I mean ultimately I think in my life all roads lead to her because I love her. I never loved anything like I love her. 

‘I love her as everything. And I love her as if I’d love water. I need it. You know, and I think I’d never experience love like it because when you could be that honest with another human being, even in times when we’re not technically together.’ 

Despite ending the relationship, the singer insisted he was hopeful that he will start a family with Jesse once he has worked his way through the emotional issues that ultimately led to their separation. 

‘I think at this moment in time, I needed to build up a fundamental basis of a personality. I was a shell, so I didn’t know what I could love,’ he explained. 

‘I will love that girl until I die and if that ends up like we like I would love it for one day to have loads of kids with her and vibe out and do all the like whatever the fairy tale thing is but if that doesn’t happen that doesn’t happen.’

Yungblud’s relationship with Jesse followed a short-lived romance with fellow pop star Halsey, who he dated for several months in 2019 and admits entered his life as they were both establishing their music careers. 

He recalled: ‘I was cool to her and it was that there were almost two things colliding. That’s why I don’t think we worked out. And it was epic. We weren’t completing each other.’
