Volcanic ash chaos turns romantic for Chace Crawford

London, April 24 (ANI): The Icelandic volcanic ash cloud, that left passengers stranded at European airports, brought romance for actor Chace Crawford - the Gossip Girl star was seen enjoying a date in London, it has emerged.

Crawford, 24, who flew into London early last week for the promotion of his new flick Twelve, found himself stuck in the UK after flights across northern Europe were cancelled due to the heavy ash cloud floating in the skies.

But Crawford used the opportunity to his favour and was spotted with a Brit actress, named only as Tessa.

He was reportedly seen enjoying an evening with the blonde, and was snapped leaving a London night spot with his arm around her waist.

"Chace was trapped in London, so he spent his time with Tessa. They were introduced by a friend and really hit it off. He had to return to the U.S. for work, but he hopes he'll see her again," the Daily Express quoted a source as telling the New York Post. (ANI)
