Jamie Cullum wooed Sophie Dahl with books.
The 'Twentysomething singer who is engaged to Sophie Dahl, the author and former model said he tried to impress her with his knowledge of books when they first met.
He said: 'We hit it off immediately. I think we knew emotionally that we would become good friends. We just started talking about books I was reading David Mitchells 'Cloud Atlas at the time and certain other stuff that we were into.'
Jamie who met Sophie at a charity event for the Lavender Trust two-and-a-half years ago said he never thought the former model would be interested in him.
He told the Observer newspaper: 'Someone like me never entertains the idea of going after someone like her, so I didnt go for it. I couldnt assume that she would be interested in me... but it worked!
'Lucky old me it turned out to be much more. I think it was to do with the fact that I always carry a good boy around with me. In my case I was actually reading it, although its a good chat-up tip, I think, to always carry a good, thick book.'
