TALK OF THE TOWN: Dua Lipa goes demure for dinner date Callum Turner
Dua Lipa wearing clothes seems like a novelty these days, as her Instagram feed is littered with photos of her posing around the globe in nothing but skimpy outfits.
So it was a surprise to see the singer covered up against the autumn chill on Friday night in a baggy top and loose trousers for a dinner date with her actor boyfriend, Callum Turner, 34.
The lovebirds sweetly clutched hands as they headed to exclusive London restaurant The River Cafe.
Callum stifled a yawn on the way in – I hope he didn’t fall asleep in his food!

It would be candid and open.’ Tina also hopes Hannah Spearritt will rejoin the band, right in their heyday, after she quit following Paul’s death.
