Just weeks after he was linked to New York businesswoman Nancy Shevell, Paul McCartney has now been linked to actress Rosanna Arquette.

The pair denied rumours of a romance when they were first linked earlier in the year but have now been spotted enjoying two dates together in just 24 hours.

According to the News of the World, Paul collected Rosanna from a friend’s house in West London last weekend and drive her back to his house in St John’s Wood. They then spent two hours in the house together before departing again, this time with Rosanna ducked down in the back seat of the car then transferred to a waiting black cab.

An onlooker told the newspaper: “It was all cloak-and-dagger stuff, but Paul couldn’t resist a quick cuddle. Rosanna was beaming after that.”

The next day, the pair were spotted together again at Kenwood House in Hampstead. The couple walked through the former stately home’s grounds for 40 minutes, repeated stopping to look at each other, before touring the house itself.

A witness reports: “They acted like teenagers on a first date. The body language said it all - they were almost joined at the hip.”

“Paul looked very flirty. They had a couple of cuddles and a kiss. The sparks were there for everyone to see.”
