RTE's new Reality - Charity 'Lords of the Rings' maybe the most unlikely of TV dating shows but for one lucky guy it has proven to be just that!

UK Apprentice star Ben Clarke, is now appearing as one of the 10 celebrity contestants battling it out on the telly programme and as a result of his participation, he enjoyed a romantic date just this week with Eire's own Niamh Walsh.

Dublin's City West hotel was the scene of their first magical meeting when the two attended the first round of the charity competition, in which GAA great Jack Sheedy beat out former Manchester United ace Lee Sharpe.

The gorge Niamh, or Nemo as many friends know her, is currently a full time model and had only gone over to the boxing match to support some friends - but she walked out with much more! "She and Ben instantly hit it off and he invited her out for drinks in Dublin on Saturday night," a friend told The Sunday World

After having drinks together post match Ben invited the model out for a second date and she accepted. No word yet on how the date went but watch this space! Niamh is FAB girl and she deserves nothing but the best! We hope she is happy, whether a third date is in the cards or not and we hope Ben was nothing but a gentleman!
