has revealed that she ‘found a bit of magic’ upon meeting her relationship with boyfriend of two years Louis Church.

The pair began their romance during the 45-year-old journalist’s 2020 stint on , in which Louis, 27, was working as part of the production crew. 

And despite their 18 year age gap, the star explained that it isn’t something they talk about, sharing that ‘age is no guarantee of someone being wonderful to you’.

The presenter keeps her personal life fairly under-the-radar, but confirmed the new romance last year after appearing on Strictly.

And talking on the romance in a rare interview with ‘s Fabulous Magazine,  she explained that the pair bonded so well due to Covid-19 restrictions – which meant contestants could not socialise with people not on the Strictly team. 

This meant that Louis, who was a production assistant on the show, would often chat with Ranvir, who was partnered with Giovanni Pernice, on set. 

‘In a funny way, when somebody did come to the door, it was like: ‘Oh, hi!’ And Louis was one of those people. He’s a really calm person. And in the midst of all of that, there was just a really lovely energy,’ she explained.

Ranvir is a mother to ten-year-old son Tushaan, who she shares with former husband Ranjeet Singh Dehal.

And admitting that she took her time on the romance due to this, the star described the bar as ‘being higher’ due to family life.

She continued: ‘Single parents stay single for a long time, because it’s too risky. You’re very protective of your own relationship with your child.’

The couple made a public appearance with Tushaan back in July, as the trio headed to Ascot’s King George Diamond Day together.

Despite a 18-year age gap, the difference isn’t something Ranvir has spoken much on in the past – telling the publication that the topic ‘isn’t something we joke about’. 

‘Age is no guarantee of someone being wonderful to you. There are complete gits who are exactly the same age as you,’ she explained.

Adding that it is a ‘complete joy’: ‘When I was 27, I was probably a lot more immature than Louis is. There are things that he is better at than I am in terms of just being a good human being. And I’m learning from him. So to me, it’s a complete joy.’
