b>Pippa Middleton and her new beau, Nico Jackson, have taken their romance to the slopes, kissing and cuddling at a luxury Swiss resort.
After a relaxing getaway to Mustique in the Caribbean with Pippa’s family, including her older sister the Duchess of Cambridge and brother-in-law Prince William, the pair were spotted getting cosy on the slopes St Moritz, where they enjoyed a more action-packed holiday.
The 29-year-old and her beau took part in the annual Engadin Ski Marathon, a gruelling 45km cross country ski race, and were cheered over the finish line by Pippa’s parents Carole and Michael, and brother James.
After the race, fellow holidaymakers at the exclusive resort reported seeing the keen skiers embrace and kiss affectionately.
The loved-up couple, who reportedly began dating at the beginning of the year, met on a ski trip.
And while Nico, 35, a stockbroker at Deutsche Bank, is not Pippa’s usual type, friends say he is a “real catch”.
“Nico comes from a totally different background to Pippa’s other boyfriends, but he can run well with the best of them,” a friend of Nico’s told the UK’s MailOnline.
“He is tall, good-looking and has the most amazing piercing blue eyes. He is incredibly charismatic and stands out from the crowd. He is a really good catch. Everyone is after him.”
So, with a besotted beau, a six figure publishing deal under her belt and a lucrative new column in Waitrose magazine in the UK, it looks like Pippa is in for a busy year ahead.
