The Saturdays star Mollie King has revealed that the first time she met now-boyfriend David Gandy, she had no idea who he was.

The singer, who has been dating the Dolce & Gabbanna model for a few months, spoke about how oblivious she was to the fact that Gandy was a successful model when they were introduced at a party.

She told Company magazine: "We met a while ago at a fashion party when a friend introduced us. My first thought was that he seemed a really nice guy. The girls were like, 'Do you know who you were talking to, Moll?'

"When I first met him I had no idea who he was, which is probably a good thing otherwise I’d have got all starstruck!"

King also admitted that she is finding it difficult to get used to the press attention since she has embarked on a relationship with Gandy.

She explained: "It is weird dating in the public eye, especially when it’s so new. When the papers first ran pictures of us I thought, 'Oh my goodness is this what it’s going to be like?'

"I don’t want to have to constantly wear make-up or for him to have to worry about looking after me around hordes of photographers."
