Earlier this month, Daisy attracted headlines after she was seen locking lips with property developer Jordan Saul, in a north London park, one month after she was linked to musician Christian Langdon.

Before that, the model had been dating singer Jack, 35, for six months, but they split in March, with Daisy saying she ‘couldn’t see a future’ with the performer.
