Farrell dating British singer

Colin Farrell is dating an up and coming British singer - he met Nicola Ward while filming an upcoming Woody Allen movie in London.

Ward, who rejected a place in girl band Girls Aloud, insist their relationship is still in its infancy, but is clearly very fond of the Miami Vice actor, 30.

The 24-year-old says: "It's early days so I don't want to say too much. We met randomly when he was filming and he took my number.

"I didn't think in a million years he'd get in touch, so I was really surprised when he called.

"I enjoy his company and, yes, he's a real gent."
