Millie Mackintosh 'signs up for celebrity dating app Raya'
Millie Mackintosh has reportedly signed up for the celebrity dating app Raya, four months after splitting from her husband Hugo Taylor.
The former Made In Chelsea star was convinced by pals to join the app, and has shared on her profile she hopes that someone with 'emotionally intelligence' will be the most attractive to her.
Sources claimed that Millie is in 'no rush' to find a new relationship, but is open to 'having some fun and getting back out there.'
Her profile describes her as a 'creator, entrepreneur and author,' and in a nod to her delay in joining a dating app, her chosen track is Lizzo's About Damn Time.
A source said: 'Millie isn't wasting any time and is getting herself back out there.
'As a busy mum-of-two, meeting new people can be tough so her mates egged her on to sign up to Raya.'

They went on to tell The Sun: 'She was with Hugo for a long time and they share a lot of history together, as well as two daughters.
'But Millie is open to having some fun and getting out there again.'
Daily Mail has contacted a representative for Millie Mackintosh for comment.
Millie has been through a tumultuous time in recent months after splitting from husband Hugo Taylor, 40, the father of her daughters Sienna, six, and Aurelia, four, in February after seven years of marriage.
Earlier this month, the influencer announced she was moving out of the couple's £5million marital home, just months after completing a full renovation on the property.
Millie and Hugo have now officially filed for divorce and have both appointed legal teams, with the pair said to be keen for a 'clean break' while continuing to co-parent their daughters amicably.
The couple first met as teenagers and they began dating when Millie was 21, rising to fame together on the E4 reality series Made In Chelsea.
In 2013, the Quality Street heiress married rapper Professor Green, 42, but the couple divorced in 2016, the same year she rekindled her relationship with Hugo.

Millie and Hugo tied the knot two years later in 2018 and welcomed their first daughter, Sienna, in May 2020, followed by Aurelia in November 2021.
A source revealed to the Daily Mail at the time: 'Millie and Hugo are currently going through a separation and have sadly decided to split.
'They have known each other for many years, and in recent weeks, have had serious conversations about their future, ultimately deciding it's better for them both to part ways.
'Their main priority remains their children and family life, and separating is not something they ever hoped would happen.
'At present, they are considering what living apart might look like and how they plan to navigate co-parenting their young children.
'It's been an incredibly difficult start to the year, and one they hope to continue managing in private.'
In recent years, Millie has been open with her fans about her past struggles with alcohol, which led her to becoming teetotal and writing the book Bad Drunk.
Millie has spoken candidly about how she began binge drinking at a young age while at boarding school, using alcohol to cope with being away from home, bullying and her own insecurities.
Millie and Hugo were part of the original cast of Made In Chelsea when the reality show launched in 2011, alongside Millie's best friend Caggie, Hugo's best friend Spencer Matthews, Rosie Fortescue, Ollie Locke and Binky Felstead to name a few.
The reality show remains an E4 staple 15 years on and is now in its 31st series, with Ollie Locke, 39, the only original cast member to make occasional appearances.
Announcing the happy news via social media at the time, she wrote: 'Our hearts are exploding with love. And I'm completely overwhelmed by the tiredness.
'The initiation into motherhood has been unlike anything I could have imagined. I'm just trying to keep my head above water. I'll share more in the coming days, but for now, we're deep in the 'newborn trenches,' as they say.
'Everyone told me to take photos while pregnant because I'd regret it if I didn't. At the time, I really didn't feel like being in front of a camera… but I'm so glad we captured these, the day before she arrived.
'I already miss her being in my belly - the safety, the unity. It's been replaced with a constant undercurrent of worry and anxiety.
'I remember someone once described this part as 'your heart now living outside your chest' and I'm learning what that really means.
'Every cry pierces deeply. Every feed touches a part of you you didn't know existed. It's a brutal awakening, a maddening kind of magic. I can't believe I'm a mum.'
Badenoch blasts 'moaning' female Labour MPs over Burnham jobs 'quota'
Kemi Badenoch has told Labour women to earn a job in Andy Burnham's Cabinet instead of demanding they are handed jobs because of their gender.
The Tory leader lashed out today amid reports that female MPs are demanding the de-facto new prime minister introduce a 50:50 gender split 'quota' in his government.
Amid reports that former foreign secretary David Miliband is being lined up to return to the role, possibly with his brother Ed as Chancellor, one female minister also complained that Burnham could not have 'more Milibands than women' in the top posts.
But in a scathing article in the Times today Mrs Badenoch told them to 'stop moaning' and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'.
'There are many, many reasons why you shouldn't have any Milibands in the cabinet,' she said.
'But complaining that the boys haven't given them the right jobs or that the boys are taking all the jobs, just shows that Labour's women still don't get it.'
The idea of quotas was also attacked by Baroness Jacqui Smith, Labour's Skills Minister.
Asked by Times Radio if Mr Burnham should reserve jobs for women, she said: 'No, I think what Andy Burnham should be doing is building the very best team around him to change this country.'
A letter written by the Women's Parliamentary Labour Party has called on Mr Burnham to ensure a 50:50 split between men and women in government jobs

But Mrs Badenoch told them to pipe down and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'
A letter written by the Women's Parliamentary Labour Party and seen by the BBC has called on Mr Burnham to ensure a 50:50 split between men and women in government jobs after he succeeds Sir Keir Starmer.
'We are asking you to demonstrate this change from day one and address the toxicity and misogyny within our own party and government,' it said.
Labour has never had a female leader, while the Conservatives have had three, and Mrs Badenoch urged the government to follow its meritocratic example.
'If you run a meritocracy, then you do not have to worry about jobs for the boys,' she wrote.
'Every woman who is a Conservative MP, every woman who has ever won the leadership, has had to fight to get where she is.
'By contrast, Labour women are demanding guarantees from Burnham. But the truth is he doesn't have to give any guarantees.
'If none of Labour's women are prepared to get their hands dirty and challenge him for the leadership, their demands are toothless.'
'In fact, it's quite revealing that the women's parliamentary Labour Party has written to Burnham asking him to commit himself to at least 50 per cent female ministers.
'This has nothing to do with meritocracy. It is yet more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country.'
