Ex-Page 3 girl and Tough Love star Leilani Dowding finds romance at last — but it's only with her dog.

The superfit former Page 3 girl kissed one of her pooches as she took them on a hike in the Hollywood Hills.

Leilani, who is originally from Bournemouth, has been living in the US since 2008 and has launched her own clothing line there.

And she appears on the Miami version of the reality show, in which women are helped in their search for love by addressing the issues which hold them back.

But the 32-year-old, who earlier this year had a very public split with actor Stephen Dorff after a whirlwind romance, admitted she is still struggling to trust men.

And she revealed that she misses Brit lads.

Leilani told us: "I give up, it's so hard to find a decent man with substance in Hollywood, the culture is so different here.

"I really miss British humour. American men have too many issues, and just aren't funny."
