It has taken a huge amount for a man to get her to trust him and to believe in love again," a source told The Sun on Sunday newspaper.
"Rory is from her home town Leeds, he's known her for years. He's the absolute opposite of so many of the guys she had relationships with," the source continued. "He is a really normal, down-to-earth guy, with good morals who has worked incredibly hard to build his own business and a family business. He's not flash, or interested in the limelight."
The insider added, "He comes from a loving family and his best pal is Mel's cousin, Christian Cooke. He has really taken the time to understand what she's been through. He is madly in love with her. It's incredibly hard to trust a man after years of abuse but he has shown her that men can be caring, trustworthy and reliable."
