Match of the Day presenter Mark Chapman is reportedly dating his BBC co-host Kelly Cates after splitting from his girlfriend of three years.

Reported split and new relationship

Chapman, 52, is believed to have split from Dubai-based estate agent Clere Collier in April this year, according to the Sun. The newspaper claims Clere later challenged him over her suspicions he had become close with fellow BBC star Kelly, 51 - the daughter of Liverpool and Scotland legend Kenny Dalglish.

But a source is said to have told the Sun: "Mark admitted the relationship but insisted there was no overlap between the two women and that he hadn’t cheated on her."
