Former EastEnders actress Natalie Cassidy has been spotted with a new love just three months after calling off her engagement.

According to reports, the actress - who played Sonia Jackson in the BBC soap - is now dating a police officer called Jamie.

The couple were photographed enjoying a day out together, holding hands and kissing in London's Hyde Park.

In March the soap star called off her wedding to fianc Ben Porter after deciding that she was too young to be getting married and settling down.

Cassidy played Sonia in EastEnders for seven years before leaving in 2007.

She went on to have success from a fitness DVD, losing a lot of weight but then faced media criticism for gaining it again soon after.

At the time, Cassidy admitted that she became dangerously close to developing an eating disorder trying to keep her size eight frame.
