GARETH Gates has been spotted getting close to a mystery girl just two months after his split from his fiancee Faye Brooks.
In pictures exclusively obtained by The Sun Online, the newly-single singer, 35, leaves a club arm-in-arm with a mystery brunette while out in Leeds for his sister Jessica’s birthday.
During the night out, Gareth told fans he wants “unconditional love” after watching his sister kiss her boyfriend as she celebrated her birthday.
The newly-single singer, 35, had a blast partying with his family at Dollhouse in Leeds and was thrilled to see his sister Charlotte, 29, so loved-up.
He left the club at around 2am with the woman and headed to another club where they spent the rest of the night.
The revellers eventually left the club at 4am and got into taxis.
The Sun Online has contacted Gareth’s representative for comment.
The Pop Idol star split from his fiancee in August after dating on and off for seven years.
Gareth popped the question to Faye in January of this year while on a trip to New York.
He got down on one knee and presented her with a four-carat diamond ring.
The pair said they would “remain friends” after the split, but a source close to them revealed to The Sun Online that Gareth’s “controlling” behaviour raised red flags for the actress.
A source told us: “Faye is such an independent and strong woman and she found Gareth’s controlling nature hard.
“He was desperate to manage her and take charge of her career but she really wasn’t keen on the idea.”
While a source close Gareth told The Sun Online: “Poor Gareth is absolutely heartbroken. He’s in pieces.”
Last month Gareth appeared to be enjoying the single life after being spotted partying hard in Ibiza alongside a mystery blonde woman.
He visited the Balearic party island on a trip he originally planned as a holiday for ex-fiance Faye’s birthday.
But the star didn’t look too heartbroken as he danced with his pals at lavish beach resort and club, O Beach Ibiza.
The star partied with his sister alongside O Beach owner Wayne Lineker and other pals.
His time in the Spanish island was caught on Instagram, with friend Arran Anzani-Jones documenting the party on his story.
He wasted no time showing off his abs as soon as he touched down on the sunny resort.
In one video, Gates and his mate give each other a kiss on the cheek, with Arran saying they are “living their best lives”.
Then later on, the star was spotted with a beer in his hand dancing next to a mystery blonde girl – while sister Charlotte sits down away to his side.
Gareth flew out to the party in style, wearing a full Versace outfit complete with sunglasses, black T-shirt and skimpy black shorts.
