She opted for gothic make-up and slicked back locks.
They began dating during filming over the summer and their relationship remained undetected until The Mail on Sunday learned that Talulah's previous romance with Matthew Rice had come to an abrupt end.
'Talulah and Matthew were on-off for a long time, but it seems that romance fell by the wayside to make room for Thomas,' said a source.
