This is the young Labour activist accused of kissing Simon Danczuk before he was dumped by his girlfriend.
The MP was thrown out by Claire Hamilton after he allegedly confessed to kissing aide Elsie Wraighte, 25, at a Christmas party.
Local councillor Miss Hamilton has blamed her split on the Labour MP cheating, and Mr Danczuk was seen at a £60-a-night hotel in his Rochdale constituency yesterday.
The mother-of-one also said she believes that her ex-boyfriend was probably messaging a large number of women on Twitter, where he has 17,000 followers.

Response: Miss Hamilton said yesterday that friends are pleased her relationship with Mr Danczuk is over
But Miss Wraighte, a graduate and Labour member who has worked for Mr Danczuk for the past year, has today said that Miss Hamilton 'made up' the kiss.
She told The Sun: 'It never happened. I have a perfectly clear memory of the night and I promise you it's not true. Claire made it up'.
Miss Hamilton spoke announced the split on Sunday and said last night that her friends are pleased her bizarre four-relationship with Mr Danczuk is over.
She told The Sun: 'I'm devastated because we did have fun together, but he's not treated me properly. I have no idea how many women he's been messaging on Twitter. I would not be surprised if it was a lot.'

Speaking out about their life together she also said on a drunken night out she had kissed his estranged wife Karen 'for about an hour' while the MP, who she also claims has a problem with drink, took photos.
Yesterday Karen Danczuk did not comment on the kissing claims - but said she wanted to be 'left out of it'.
The Labour councillor, of Leyland, Lancashire, is also said to have become concerned by the Rochdale MP's drinking.
But she said the final straw came when the twice-married father-of-four told her that the couple 'were not in a serious relationship' and that he had kissed another woman on a Christmas night out.
It is understood the Danczuks' divorce is due to go through today, six months after the couple broke-off their relationship in what was a publicly acrimonious split.
Former businessman Mr Danczuk became a prominent backbencher after outing Cyril Smith as a serial child sex abuser.
Ill-advised: Cllr Hamilton tweeted: 'Having a fun evening at @ViceroyLeyland with @SimonDanczuk & flat cap'
Outrage: The posts provoked an angry reaction on Twitter, with one user writing: 'Have a good night whilst the elderly are evacuated from nursing homes.' Another branded the couple's behaviour 'moronic' and 'heartless'
His profile also rose as Mrs Danczuk - whom he married in 2012 - found fame through posting a series of photographs on Twitter showing her cleavage.
Mr and Mrs Danczuk - who had a 16-year age gap - announced they were going their separate ways in June after eight years together and three years of marriage. They have two sons, Milton, six, and four-year-old Maurice.
Their split has involved a very public war of words, with claims of affairs, alcohol abuse and Mrs Danczuk saying she is bisexual.
Mr Danczuk told The Sun he had 'no comment' to make on Ms Hamilton's claims.
