American comic Pete Davidson has been caught breaking Britain’s Covid quarantine laws while visiting his Bridgerton star girlfriend, Phoebe Dynevor.
The couple were pictured together for the first time on Sunday, with 26-year-old Phoebe showing her boyfriend, 27, around her hometown of Stoke-on-Trent.
However, MailOnline can reveal that Pete, 27, only flew into London’s Heathrow Airport on Thursday evening, which means he should have been isolating until Tuesday at the earliest.

Passengers arriving in Britain from the US are required to quarantine at home for 10 days, though they can be released after five clear days, not counting the day they arrived, provided they test negative for Covid.
In order to comply with rules, Davidson’s quarantine would have begun on Friday and he would take a test no earlier than Tuesday – having to remain in quarantine until he received a negative result.
A photographer who spotted him arriving at Heathrow from a Virgin flight on Thursday said the comic went out of his way to try and avoid being photographed as he walked through the Arrivals hall.
MailOnline has contacted Davidson’s representatives for comment.

It’s the third time the couple have met in recent months.
In February, former Waterloo Road star Dyvenor, daughter of Coronation Street actress Sally Dynevor, flew to New York City where he is based.
Although she didn’t share any pictures with Davidson, the Netflix star shared photos of Brooklyn on Instagram, as she penned: ‘Grateful I got to be here for a hot sec ❤️.’

Rumours of their romance took off last month when Davidson was spotted out in Davidson’s leafy hometown of Altrincham, Cheshire.
Meanwhile, an insider told People magazine: ‘Pete is telling friends he’s serious about [Phoebe]’, as they continued to visit each other on both sides of the Atlantic, while another source added the pair are ‘really into each other.’
Davidson’s trip to the UK appears to coincide with some of his free time from Saturday Night Live, as the show is on a break without a live episode until May 8.

The couple added to relationship speculation last week when they wore identical necklaces featuring their initials – which are the same – during interviews.
‘Pete is wearing it as a romantic gesture to Phoebe,’ a source told The Sun after viewers noticed their matching jewellery.
‘He wanted to show just how much she means to him and just how serious he is about them,’ the source continued.
‘She’s in London and he’s in America. So they wanted to feel like they’re together when they’re not. Any time they’re feeling a bit lonely and missing each other they look down at the PD!’
Earlier this month, Pete seemed to confirm the relationship during a virtual conversation with Marquette University students.
When a student asked him to share his ‘celebrity crush’ during the Q&A session, he told them he wasn’t available anymore.
‘I’m with my celebrity crush,’ he said, while grinning – though without mentioning Phoebe – months after the romance rumours first began.
