Lindsay Lohan has made an unlikely pal in 'The Only Way is Essex' hunk Dan Osborne.
The Hollywood actress - who is in London preparing for her West End debut in a theatre production of 'Speed-the-Plow' - has been hanging out with the burly reality star and friends are reportedly worried the friendship may affect his romance with 'EastEnders' beauty Jacqueline Jossa.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Dan is a taken man and very happy but he was keen to be introduced to Lindsay as she is such a big star.
"It's all harmless fun at the moment but Lindsay has a reputation for fancying hunky Z-list Brits so Dan should tread carefully."
In fact, Lindsay can count several 'TOWIE' cast members as friends.
Newcomer Vas J. Morgan is said to be a close pal of the 'Freaky Friday' actress as is former 'TOWIE' star Tom Kilby.
Dan has already declared his feelings for Jacqueline on a recent episode of the hit ITV2 show, as he told his friends that he "loves" the 'EastEnders' actress.
He told Tom Pearce: "I would definitely say I was in love. And I don't believe in throwing that word around, but I am happier than I've ever been."

Netflix's 'Daredevil' series will be the "best incarnation" of the character yet.
Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige says the comic book brand's TV arm has lofty ambitions for the new adaptation following a critically panned Ben Affleck-starring 2003 movie based on the blind superhero.
Speaking to BANG Showbiz, he said: "The goal on the 'Daredevil' series is to now make the best incarnation of Daredevil that has ever existed."
Kevin - who oversees all of Marvel's movies including 'The Avengers' - says there may be some crossover between Marvel TV's five new shows and Marvel Studios' cinematic releases.
However, the top priority is to make the best show possible.
He explained: "I think they are being very, very smart in approaching those shows in the way we approach movies, which is, focus on what you are working on first and make it as great as it can be -beginning, middle and end - and then look to see if there are places where it makes sense for some interweaving of continuity."
'Daredevil', which stars British actor Charlie Cox and Hollywood siren Rosario Dawson, is the first of five Marvel series to air on Netflix beginning in 2015.
Marvel will also produce three other shows based on lesser-known characters Jessica Jones, Iron Fist and Luke Cage, before uniting them all for a miniseries called 'The Defenders'.

Nicole Richie regrets her "virgin" tattoo.
The 32-year-old reality TV star - who has children Harlow, six, and Sparrow, four, with husband Joel Madden - got the inking on her right wrist when she was just 16 years old but now thinks it looks "embarrassing and desperate".
She said: "See this tattoo? It says 'virgin,' you guys. It's embarrassing and desperate.
"Now, I am a Virgo so when I was 16 I thought, 'Ooh I'm going to be different and I'm going to put virgin, because the Virgin is the sign for Virgo."
Nicole - who was born in California - went on to joke she had considered ways to modify the tattoo, but doesn't think they'd be very convincing.
She told E! News: "I'd add an I and an A and say I'm from Virginia, but I just don't think people are going to believe me. So I'm just stuck."
Meanwhile, Nicole is an avid user of Twitter and can't believe some of the "insane" responses she gets on social media, particularly as she thinks it is important to be careful about what gets posted.
She said: "Whether its Twitter or the Internet or the world, you have to be accountable for your words - and you have to be careful with your words, because you can't take them back and that's what you're putting out into the world.
"You've got to be careful with your thoughts and your words."

Jenny McCarthy had the "birds and the bees" talk with her son because she worried he would develop a "foot fetish".
The 41-year-old beauty decided to give 11-year-old Evan - her child with ex-husband John Mallory Asher - some information about sex after "accidentally" giving him a confusing message in the past.
She explained: "I just had the birds and the bees talk...
"I kind of knew it was time because I accidentally told him that sex was like feet rubs. And I looked on his iPad and there were 2,000 pics of foot rubs and I'm like, 'Oh my god, he's going to have a foot fetish for the rest of his life!'
"So I just sat down and had the real heart-to-heart talk with him."
The former 'View' presenter - who is engaged to Donnie Wahlberg - admits it was "difficult" having the chat with her son, but she stuck to the basic facts and was happy to leave him "horrified" afterwards.
She added to Us Weekly magazine: "It was difficult ... but being the kind of single mom I've been, I've had to wear two hats and I'm proud to say that Evan will never be having sex for the rest of his life after my conversation.
"I talked about kind of the physical part. I'm like, 'You know how you're talking about things happening?' I'm like, 'This is what your body is going to want to do and it's normal but your body can't yet because you're too young,' and he was horrified, which is exactly what I wanted him to be but I can't even imagine."

Iggy Azalea's boyfriend thinks Nicki Minaj is jealous of her.
The 'Super Bass' hitmaker took an apparent swipe at her Australian rival at the BET Awards last month, when she appeared to criticise the 'Fancy' singer for using ghostwriters, but basketball star Nick Young insists it is because the former 'American Idol' judge envies his girlfriend's success.
Nick told the New York Daily News newspaper's Confidenti@l column: "Iggy is doing big things and that is what is scaring people.
"She is going to brush it off. She won't let it get to her. She is number one -- what can you do? She's at the top right now, so of course they are going to come at you."
At the time, Iggy insisted she was "unbothered" by her rival's diss, but Nick insists that wasn't the case.
He said: "I had to deal with the aftermath of all that, when she came home and was going through her phones, hearing everybody talking trash about her. I had to be there for her."
And the LA Lakers player - who has been dating Iggy for almost a year - does his best to take his girlfriend's mind of the stress of her work.
He explained: "We always hang out and try to get her mind off what is going on out there on the news.
"We go roller-skating, to theme parks and Six Flags and try to have a good time and do down-to-earth stuff. We have sweats on, hoodies on at Six Flags, just us two, and you will never know [who we are]."
Despite Nick's comments, and while Nicki's remarks that "When you hear Nicki Minaj spit, Nicki Minaj wrote it," were widely assumed to be a dig at Iggy, the 'Starships' singer later denied that was the case.
She tweeted: "The media puts words in my mouth all the time and this is no different... [I] congratulated Iggy on the success of Fancy, publicly.(sic)"

Charlize Theron and Sean Penn are reportedly planning to get married "very soon".
The couple have only been dating for eight months but they are determined to take their relationship to the next level by tying the knot in her home country South Africa - where Sean is directing his beau in 'The Last Face' - later this summer.
A source said: "They want to get married very soon."
The 38-year-old beauty - who has two-year-old son Jackson - is reportedly keen to adopt a child with the 53-year-old hunk shortly after they've exchanged vows.
The insider told Us Weekly magazine: "Charlize always intended to have another child."
Sean - who already has 23-year-old daughter Dylan and 20-year-old son Hopper with his ex-wife Robin Wright - has also been bonding with Charlize's young son.
The insider added: "He is a father figure to him."
Meanwhile, the loved-up pair - who have known each other for 18 years - have watched each other change over the years and are looking forward to a positive future together as a couple.
The source explained: "Charlize has seen Sean grow up. He's a wiser soul and much more patient. They're looking to the future with a lot of hope."

One Direction singer Liam Payne has been busy recording a dance "banger".
While fans may know 1D more for their catchy harmonies, it appears that Liam, 20, is keen to take the boy band down a different musical path.
The singer posted a black and white photo of himself on Instagram with an accompanying caption that read: "Just going to bed been studio written a pure banger for you guys who like dance more info to come."
Fans of One Direction were quick to comment on the post and the initial reaction was overwhelmingly positive.
One fan enthused: "Can't wait!!!"
Liam and the other 1D band members, Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan, have all been writing separately for their next album in order to take the LP - the follow-up to 'Midnight Memories' - in a new direction.
Zayn has been working with producer Naughty Boy, while Harry has been writing with Ed Sheeran - who previously penned their hit 'Little Things'.
Harry has previously revealed he always tries to draw on personal experiences when he's writing lyrics.
He said: "You're always going to draw inspiration for things that you're feeling, things that you've felt. It's kind of impossible not to unless there's an exact scenario that you're trying to write a song for."

Drake has had to pay $100,000 for lyrics he "borrowed" from another artist.
The 'Take Care' hitmaker was forced to fork out the huge sum after he copied lines from Rappin' 4-Tay's track 'Playaz Club' for his collaboration with YG on 'Who Do You Love'.
4-Tay was offended that the 27-year-old rapper had ripped off his lyrics and not credited him on the track and is believed to have approached the star's management to come to an agreement over the plagiarism, reports TMZ.
According to 4-Tay's manager the matter was soon solved after Drake's label agreed to pay the 'Problems' singer $100,000 for "borrowing" the lyrics and avoided a lawsuit being filed against them.
The news comes just days after Drake buried hatchet with his long-time rival Chris Brown after a photograph of them together in a recording studio appeared on Instagram.
Tension first erupted between the pair - who have both had on-again, off-again relationships with Rihanna - in New York City nightclub W.I.P. in 2012, when a violent fight left several people injured.
A source revealed to TMZ that the duo made a business decision to put their differences aside, as they believe they can make millions by teaming up together.
Drake, 27, has signed on to produce Chris' upcoming album, and is collaborating with him on several tracks.
The pair believe the album will be a huge hit because fans will want to pick apart the lyrics and compare their vocal abilities.
Another source told HollywoodLife.com: "[Drake] will work with anyone in the biz if he thinks the collaboration has the potential to be epic."

Jason Sudeikis and Jeremy Irons are to star in 'Race'.
The 'Horrible Bosses' funnyman and 'The Borgias' star have joined the cast of the upcoming Jesse Owens biopic which is to be directed by Stephen Hopkins, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Up-and-coming actor Stephan James will take on the role of black racing legend Owens, who won a record-breaking four Olympic gold medals in the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin, Germany during the rule of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party.
Focus Features - who own the US distribution rights - described the movie as "an enthralling film about courage, determination, tolerance and friendship and an inspiring drama about one man's fight to become Olympic legend".
Sudeikis has signed on to play Owens' obsessive coach Larry Snyder - who coached athletes who set 14 world records and won eight Olympic gold medals - while Irons will play head of the American Olympic committee Avery Brundage, who fought to have the 1936 Olympics held in Berlin.
Hopkins will direct from a script written by Anna Waterhouse and Joe Shrapnel and will also produce alongside Kate Garwood via Totally Commercial Films, Jean Charles Levy for Forecast Pictures and Luc Dyan of ID+.
Sudeikis recently starred in 'We're the Millers' and is currently filming the male lead in 'Sleeping with Other People' while Irons is to portray Bruce Wayne's loyal butler Alfred in 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice'.
'Race' will begin shooting on July 24 in Montreal, Canada and on location at the Olympic stadium in Berlin.

Kevin Feige has denied claims Edgar Wright's ideas for 'Ant-Man' were "too far out".
The 'Guardians of the Galaxy' director has spoken out against suggestions that himself and Marvel Comics parted ways with the filmmaker - who was on board to direct the project - because his vision for it was "too far out".
Quizzed on whether the creative differences - cited as the reason for Wright's stepping down - had involved personality issues or whether Wright's vision for 'Ant-Man' felt out-of-sync with Marvel's wider universe of superheroes, Feige claimed it was a "combination".
He said: "We sat round a table and we realised it was not working. A part of me wishes we could have figured that out in the eight years we were working on it. But better for us and better for Edgar that we figure it out then, and not move it through production."
Speaking to The Guardian newspaper, he added: "The Marvel movies are very collaborative, and I think they are more collaborative than what he [Wright] had been used to. And I totally respect that.
"[But] the notion that Marvel was scared, the vision was too good, too far out for Marvel is not true ... It would have to be really out there to be too out there for us."
Peyton Reed has now taken over the reigns of the film, which will star Michael Douglas as Hank Pym (Ant-Man) - a brilliant scientist who invents a substance that allows him to change size.
'Ant-Man' is slated for release on July 17 2015.

Britain's Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall visited Jamie Oliver's restaurant in Cornwall yesterday (16.07.14).
The royal couple were on the last day of their official tour of the West Country of England when they made short stop at the Watergate Bay branch of his Fifteen restaurants.
The first in line to the throne, 65, and his wife Camilla, 66, arrived by car and were greeted by a row of happy chefs - who are taking part in Jamie Oliver's apprentice programme - waiting in the eatery.
Young people taking part in the programme - which gives unemployed people the chance to train with chefs at different Fifteen branches - spoke to Charles and Camilla about healthy eating and the skills they'd learnt so far, while also presenting them with snacks they had prepared for the occasion.
The pair also met with local traders and Charles - who is a keen supporter of home-grown produce - appeared very impressed with their collections of fresh fruit, vegetables, meat and more.
Following on from the visit, Charles and Camilla continued with the food theme by making a trip to the Camel Valley vineyard near Bodmin, where Camilla was gifted with a six-litre bottle of sparkling rosé wine ahead of her birthday today (17.07.14).
