Calum Best has rekindled his romance with Ianthe Rose Cochrane-Stack.
The former 'Celebrity Big Brother' star confirmed he had ended things with the lingerie model earlier this month after nine months together, but is now said to have reunited with the star after the pair were seen visiting a tattoo parlour in London together.
The blonde beauty was by Calum's side as he arrived at Shall Adore for his latest inking and an insider claims the pair have put their differences to one side following the row which led to their split.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Calum and Ianthe had an argument and in the heat of the moment he thought, 'I'm done'.
"But when he had cooled down he began to think it was a mistake. She missed him too, so they decided to give it another go."
The reformed lothario previously claimed the former 'Made In Chelsea' star was his "first love".
Speaking after their break-up, he shared: "Sadly we have had to go our separate ways. She's the first girl I really loved and I cherish the time we spent together."
The 34-year-old star - who is the son of the late footballer George Best - also said he felt "settled" with Ianthe.
He previously said: "I'm settled. (Ianthe's) got me settled. We have been together now for quite some time. I'm crazy about her, she's an amazing woman, she helps keep me stable and that's that."

Louis Walsh has complained that there's "too much singing" on 'The X Factor'.
The 62-year-old music manager has confirmed he will not be returning to his role as a judge on the ITV show later this year and has claimed that despite it being a singing competition, he thinks there's too much of it.
He said: "Singing shows are not what they used to be, they have too much singing in them. I honestly think Simon [Cowell] had to change things around because I've been on it for 11 years.
"I think 'Britain's Got Talent' is a variety show and people love that. 'X Factor' needs a bit of a shake and Simon will do it. He is on to the case and he always wants to have the best show on TV."
Louis also insisted he has left on "good terms" with Simon and the rest of the team behind the show.
He told BBC's Newsbeat: "I want to get back to my day job, which is being a music manager. I never wanted to be on TV. I left on really good terms. I'm a really good friend of Simon, we always have been. We text all the time. I'm on good terms with nearly everybody."
The much-loved mentor also offered his advice to the host of the BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show, Nick Grimshaw, who is rumoured to be taking over from him on the 'X Factor' judging panel.
Louis added: "I hear my replacement is going to be Nick Grimshaw. I think it's a good idea but Robbie Williams would be better, he would be my choice. Gary Barlow would be good. I also think Jon Bon Jovi for some reason, I thought he would have been good. And I also heard Lionel Richie's name mentioned ... Nick just be yourself. Don't use any of my catchphrases. And do everything [Simon] Cowell tells you. And hope you don't get thre groups because if you do you'll be in trouble."

Paula Lane has signed a new one year contract for 'Coronation Street'.
The 29-year-old actress recently returned to filming as drug addict mum-of-two Kylie Platt following the birth of her son Arthur on New Year's Eve and she's now revealed ITV bosses have offered her a new contract.
She said: "I've just signed a new 12-month contract, so it's going to be quite a big year.
"I'm going to have to get my 'actress' head on and keep my two roles very separate from work and home."
Kylie will return to screens next month as she tries to stop her ex-boyfriend Callum Logan (Sean Ward) from winning custody of his biological son Max, who is currently in the care of her estranged husband David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd), with whom she has daughter Lily.
Paula told OK! magazine: "I've just read some scripts which had me gasping in shock. I won't say too much but there's a game to be played and it's very exciting. Callum's weak spot is Kylie and what's to come is very well-played."
News of Paula's new contract comes after stars of the soap including Alison King (Carla Connor), Craig Charles (Lloyd Mullaney) and Hayley Tamaddon (Andrea Beckett) announced their departures.

Ricky Rayment is reportedly leaving 'The Only Way Is Essex' "by mutual consent".
The 25-year-old hunk - who previously dated his on-screen co-star Jess Wright, but is now seeing Marnie Simpson from MTV's 'Geordie Shore' - will not be making the cast's annual jaunt to Marbella, Spain, after recently holding discussions with producers about his future on the ITVBe programme.
A source said: "Ricky felt it was time to go. Neither he nor Jess really wanted to keep filming together.
"The storylines weren't moving forward. Plus his new romance with Marnie is a bone of contention as there was no way bosses would bring a character in from 'Geordie Shore'."
Despite walking away from 'The Only Way Is Essex', Ricky is apparently keen to remain in the spotlight and is currently considering his next career steps.
An insider told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Ricky has a huge following from 'TOWIE' and isn't ready to step out of the spotlight just yet. He's mulling over his options right now."
Meanwhile, Marnie has previously ruled out the prospect of her ever appearing on 'TOWIE'.
She admitted: "I don't think I could handle the Essex lot, we're total opposites."

Kym Marsh says "nothing has been resolved" between her and Dan Hooper.
The 'Coronation Street' actress confirmed last week that she and her fiance are taking a break as they've both been
going through a hard time recently and she's now revealed they are yet to make a decision about the future of their
relationship.
She said: "Dan and I are still talking, but nothing has been resolved. It's going to take time, whatever happens. There are a lot of things for us to consider before making any decision. At the moment we are still taking some breathing space."
The 38-year-old star - who has grown up children David and Emily from a previous relationship and four-year-old daughter Poppy with ex-husband Jamie Lomas - is keen to make sure her youngest daughter isn't affected by her and Dan's separation.
She added: "Polly is my main priority and I have made sure she hasn't felt any of it. She has had me all to herself and I love nothing more than getting some quality time with Pol!"
Meanwhile, Kym insists she has no plans to return to social media any time soon as she wants to resolve her and Dan's issues without anyone interfering.
Writing in her column for OK! magazine, she explained: "I am having a break from Twitter at the moment. As soon as you go on, people start misconstruing things. Dan and I are just trying to keep everything between us and that is how it should be."

Jamie Laing is reportedly dating Louis Tomlinson's ex-girlfriend.
The 'Made In Chelsea' star was spotted enjoying a romantic date with the One Direction star's former flame Eleanor Calder and her dog Bruce in London earlier this month.
A source shared: "Jamie was holding Bruce's lead and Eleanor was walking beside him down Portobello Road.
"The conversation seemed a bit stilted, like it would be on a first date. Jamie was telling her about his favourite shop and stopped to point it out, and then they went over and had a look at a crepe stand. They were standing close to each other, though, and their body language was more relaxed than the conversation - they seemed nervous."
The 26-year-old star later followed Eleanor - who split from Louis earlier this year - on Instagram and posted an image of her beloved pup.
He captioned the snap: "Hanging out with my Boi Bruce... @eleanorj92."
Despite appearing slightly shy on their date, they're said to have had good chemistry and grew more comfortable with one another as the day went on.
The source added to heat magazine: "They looked good together. After walking around, they headed off to a park with the dog. Jamie looked like he was enjoying having Bruce and Eleanor didn't mind him holding the lead."

Jules O'Dwyer & Matisse and Old Men Grooving are through to the 'Britain's Got Talent' live final.
The 49-year-old dog trainer and her seven-year-old Border Collie automatically secured their spot in the final stage of the ITV talent show after receiving the majority of the public vote during the second round of the semi-finals tonight (26.05.15).
Despite wowing the judges with their energetic routines, Old Men Grooving had to fight off stiff competition from Revelation Avenue.
The gospel singers narrowly missed out on a place in the final on Sunday (31.05.15) after judges Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden both opted to save them.
But David Walliams made the "tough" decision to back Old Men Grooving, leaving the final decision in the hands of Simon Cowell, who chose to support the five dancing dads, Patrick, Fred, Phil, David and Brett, who hail from London and Essex and range in age from 40-60 years-old.
ITV bosses are yet to confirm whether this year's competition will have a wild card act, where the judges decide on one contestant to be given a second chance and go through to the final.

Entity Allstars will dance to the 'Britain's Got Talent' them tune in Sunday's grand final (31.05.15).
The 20-piece dance troupe - made up of youngsters aged 10 to 16 - are due to strut their stuff along to a medley of songs including the show's catchy theme tune.
Speaking on 'This Morning' today (26.05.15), their choreographer, Tashan Muir, revealed: "Well one of the tracks we're going to dance to is Jessie J's 'Bang Bang', and we're going to be dancing to a lot of other tracks, and the BGT theme song as well, we're going to be putting that in."
Tashan also revealed the dance troupe are already one step ahead when it comes to preparing for their final dance and confessed he has been working on their performance for Sunday's show since judge Alesha Dixon advanced them into the semi finals using the Golden Buzzer.
He explained: "When we got the Golden Buzzer I started doing both the Harry Potter [themed semi finals routine] and the final at the same time, so we've actually finished our final now.
"It's about cleaning it ... now they're on half term it's literally just drilling it and drilling it and drilling it."
The group appeared to have hit a hiccup last night (25.05.15) when member Harry took a tumble during their 'Harry Potter' inspired performance.
However, it didn't spoil their chances of getting through to the final and the judging panel, which also includes Amanda Holden, David Walliams and Simon Cowell, opted to save the group and put them through alongside 168-strong choir Cor Glanaethwy who won the public vote.
The 'BGT' semi finals will continue on ITV this week with contestants hoping to bag themselves £250,000 in cash and the opportunity to appear at the Royal Variety Performance.

Mark Charnock has branded his co-star Paula Tilbrook a "naughty rascal".
The 'Emmerdale' actor - who plays loveable chef Marlon Dingle on the ITV soap - joked about Paula's off-screen antics after filming his final scenes with the 85-year-old star, who announced she was set to leave the show last month.
Following last night's episode (25.05.15) in which Paula's character Betty Eagleton left the village for Australia to live with her new boyfriend, Mark told 'This Morning': "That woman is a rascal, she is a naughty rascal. There are so many un-broadcastable stories about Paula Tillbrook!"
Speaking to Philip Schofield, Mark said that bidding Paula farewell was emotional and the show's producers set up a farewell bash in the 'Emmerdale' Village Hall for the star, who had played Betty since 1994.
He said: "It was Paula Tilbrook's last episode as Betty Eagleton a soap legend, an icon really, she left the soap last night after 21 years. They decked out the Emmerdale Village Hall."
Mark, 47 - whose character is married to the troubled alcoholic Laurel Dingle, played by Charlotte Bellamy - added that he is excited about his own future on the show and is looking forward to starring in some gripping story lines.
He said: "I'm involved in one of the most amazing stories I've ever had about Laurel's alcoholism and there's more twists and turns coming up ... there's a twist coming up at the beginning of next week which will change everything again.
"I've never been involved in something where every time you open the script, something incredible is happening and that's what alcoholism does to people - it turns their lives upside down. He's at the very end (of his tether)."
