Who is Ellie MacDowall? Meet Lewis Capaldi's model girlfriend who is set to star in new ITV drama

Lewis Capaldi is best known for singing love songs about past relationships and now it appears he could be getting some new song material as it appears he's confirmed he has a new girlfriend.

At the Brit Awards over the weekend, Lewis was snapped kissing Scots actress and model Ellie MacDowall after months of speculation that the pair were dating.

Late last year, Lewis released new song 'Pointless' which is about being in love with someone who 'brings him inner peace'.

When he first teased the song, he said: "When everything’s pointless, there’s one person that makes it all worthwhile."

The singer brought out the tune roughly around the time he is said to have met Ellie, so just who is the stunner who could have inspired the new song?

Here's everything we know about the new lady in Lewis' life...

Ellie MacDowall is a 23-year-old actress and model from Edinburgh.

She is also a dancer and graduated from Edinburgh's MGA Academy of performing arts in 2020.

On her Instagram page, Ellie has posted videos of her busting some very impressive moves and she has her own YouTube channel where she also shows off her moves.

Ellie is reported to have landed the role of Cary Grant’s daughter Jennifer in new ITV biopic, Archie, about the Hollywood star’s life which will air on ITVX later this year.

She hasn't posted any pictures of her and her beau on Instagram yet but she recently created a '23' highlight where she's posted some snippets of her and Lewis' relationship.

Some stories include her supporting him at his Belfast and Glasgow gigs, the pair enjoying some downtime on a boat and also watching a rugby match.

The stunning brunette clearly loves to travel and also shares gorgeous snaps of her travels on her page sharing photos of Hollywood, Greece, Croatia and Barcelona.

She's quite the adventurer and loves nothing more than exploring her native land. She can be seen in posts wandering in the Scottish Highlands as she shared snaps in Isle of Skye, Isle of Coll, Loch Lomond.

The couple first hinted at their relationship back in November after they were spotted at a hotel in London.

They then appeared to confirm their romance by posting about a romantic hike on New Year's Eve.

Lewis shared a series of snaps and videos on his Instagram story of him and Ellie wrapped up warm and taking in the stunning views of Ben Hogh in Coll.

The hike was all for a good cause, to raise money for Doddie Aid - which raises money for MND research and people living with MND.

Speaking to the camera, Lewis urged his fans to join him to raise funds for the amazing cause. He said: "Hello there, It's Lewis Capaldi here, I've just climbed up this big f*** off hill at Ben Hogh in Isle of Coll in support of Doddie Aid. You can also join me, I'll be logging my big walk on the app."

And after their PDA at The Brits, it's pretty clear the pair are very loved up. A source told The Sun: "They sat on the sofa kissing and talking for awhile before Lewis headed off to the dance floor. He was throwing some serious shapes to Hot Chocolate’s You Sexy Thing at one point while Ellie just looked on smiling. They make a lovely couple."
