It was one of the most oversubscribed Olympic events (no prizes for guessing why) so we have a feeling there will be rather a lot of red blooded males out there who will be green with envy when they clap eyes on Mark Wright's latest flame - US volleyball player Chelsea Rashoff.

The former TOWIE star has been spotted getting all misty-eyed with the part-time model who also plays for the American national volleyball team.

The pair went for lunch in Hollywood where they held hands across the table, took snaps of themselves and fed each other ice cream.

Could Mr Wright look any more smitten?

A source told The Sun: "Everyone could see that there is definitely a spark between them. Chelsea is beautiful and their relationship is sure to blossom."

Chelsea Rashoff

It looks like things are finally looking up for Mark - who has been in LA filming his new ITV2 show, Mark Wright's Hollywood Nights - after initially struggling to score with the ladies Stateside. He ended up taking tips from the Hollywood All-Stars football team (random) after claiming he didn't understand American women.

Mark met Chelsea on the second episode of his new show, Mark Wright's Hollywood Nights

One of the players told the Daily Star: ''Mark told us he's struggling with the ladies in LA. He says they're so different to Essex and British girls and he is confused because none of his usual chat-up lines are working.

''He said he can't wait to get back home where he 'understands the women.' In Britain Mark is used to women falling at his feet with little effort on his part. He said he is finding it all very confusing over here.''

Looks like he's finally worked it out. And then some.
