‘Just a girl who travelled halfway around the world to meet a boy…’: TOWIE’s Courtney Green ‘soft launches’ her new man on Instagram — months after her ‘painful’ split from long-term boyfriend and fans go wild over her romantic comeback… - suong
Although she’s kept her love life off TOWIE since splitting from Myles Barnett back in 2018, Courtney Green was in a relationship with on/off boyfriend Callum Bushby for seven years before they split for good earlier this year.
Courtney has since revealed she’s moved on and is dating someone new, and while she’s kept the details of her new man under wraps until now, the reality star has just given us our first glimpse of their romance.
That’s right, Courtney has ‘soft launched’ her new fella on social media and her followers and fans are loving it.
The TOWIE star first let slip that she was dating over the summer as she shared her nerves on social media and things must be going well as yesterday (Monday 27 October), she took to Instagram yesterday to reveal that she’d travelled across the world to meet up with her mystery man.
In a video, Courtney could be seen flying on an aeroplane before riding on a motorbike and chilling poolside with her new fella.
The post was captioned, ‘Just a girl who travelled halfway around the world to meet a boy she’d met twice.’
Courtney’s video racked up over 13,000 likes and over 100 comments, with her bestie Chloe Meadows writing, ‘Wowwweew soft launch yeahhhh’.
Elma Pazar added, ‘Love to see it 😍😍😍✨✨✨,’ while former co-star Chloe Lewis, who is currently dating Dan Edgar, wrote, ‘Yes Court! Living my girl what it’s all about 👏🫶🏻.’
Courtney first confirmed she’d split from long-term boyfriend Callum in April when she posted a video of herself holidaying in Dubai with her pals Chloe Meadows, Amber Turner and Harry Derbidge and wrote, 'Entering a really strange time in my life, newly single after being in a seven year relationship. Knowing I have my friends to make these memories makes heartbreak a little less painful.'
She later revealed she was dating again, telling her TikTok followers, ‘I feel sick, I'm going on a first date. I've not met him in real life yet so I need to make sure I look exactly like my pictures because we can't be catfishing.
‘I'd love it if you could give me some tips because I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm going to see Sabrina Carpenter tonight, so if you see me there I'm on a date.'

Kevin Clifton opens up on Strictly host rumours after he and partner Stacey Dooley tipped to replace Claudia and Tess liennhi
FORMER Strictly Come Dancing professional Kevin Clifton has broken his silence after he and partner Stacey Dooley were tipped for the show’s hosting roles.
The Traitors presenter Claudia Winkleman, 53, alongside her Strictly sidekick Tess Daly, 56, announced their plans to step down from their iconic BBC telly role on Thursday.
During Saturday’s live episode, the duo got teary as they opened the first show since announcing they were quitting at the end of the series.
The two made history as primetime television’s first female presenting duo when they paired up to co-host the show in 2014.
Both had been part of Strictly since 2004, Tess hosting the main show with Bruce Forsyth and Claudia on spin-off It Takes Two.
Last week, all the stars in line to replace Tess and Claudia came to light and, on Monday’s episode of ITV daytime series Good Morning Britain, Grimsby-born Kevin addressed the speculation.
Kevin quit Strictly in 2020 after seven years on the BBC series as a show pro.
This came two years after he scooped the Glitter Ball trophy with partner and baby-momma Stacey.
After GMB anchors Ed Balls and Charlotte Hawkins told how he was a name in the frame, he said: “Stace would be amazing.
“But we have had no conversations about it.”
Yet the pair are no strangers to working together, and are currently starring in the stage version of 2:22 A Ghost Story.
Presenter Stacey’s odds are currently 2/1 and considering the BBC are looking for two hosts, Kevin could well be a great choice to join his ladylove.
Meanwhile, drag queen La Voix threw her name in the frame for the job on Saturday’s live Strictly show.
Other suggestions include Holly Willoughby and Zoe Ball.
EXIT LOWDOWN
It comes after The Sun revealed the real reason behind Tess and Claud’s shock departure.
BBC bosses are said to have been blindsided by their departure, with only a small number of people in the TV industry made aware of their intentions.
All your Strictly Come Dancing winners
Strictly first kicked off back in 2004, and over the years has crowned 21 winners.
Here is a full list of who has been lucky enough to win the famous Glitterball Trophy:
- 2004 – Natasha Kaplinsky
- 2004 – Jill Halfpenny
- 2005 – Darren Gough
- 2006 – Mark Ramprakash
- 2007 – Alesha Dixon

- 2024 – Chris McCausland
It’s understood they secretly filmed the exit video weeks ago — and released it mid-series so as not to overshadow the eventual winner.
Their last show will be on Christmas Day.
A source said: “Claudia and Tess have known they were leaving Strictly since last year. They felt like it was their time to go.
“They discussed this privately and agreed they would walk away together, but kept it firmly under wraps.”
Their exit comes after the BBC show was hit by a string of recent scandals involving its professional dancers and behind-the-scenes conduct.
Plummeting viewing figures and “underwhelming” line-ups even prompted betting giants to offer odds earlier this year on this being the show’s final outing.
EXIT STATEMENTS
In a statement to her fans, Tess said it was “time to say goodbye” and described Strictly as “about joy, celebration, and bringing people together”.
Tess also paid tribute to her co-host, adding: “To my beloved Claud – what an absolute joy and pleasure it has been sharing this adventure with you.
“You’re one of a kind, and I’ll treasure every giggle, every live show, and every backstage moment we’ve shared.”
Claudia called the show “the greatest relationship of my career”.
She said: “Strictly is a magical, glittery, fake-tanned train and it’s been a privilege to be a tiny part of it.
“I’ve always believed it’s best to leave a party before you’re fully ready to go.”
She also remembered legendary judge Len Goodman, saying: “I will never forget Len Goodman trying to teach me what a cucaracha is (I still don’t know.)
“And the complete thrill and honour it was to work with Tess on the results show to cohosting on Saturday nights.
She praised Tess, adding: “As for Tess – I’m so, so lucky I got to stand next to you. You’re funny, kind, whip smart and a true friend and I love you.”
