Elle Macpherson is dating a former doctor who was sacked on ethical grounds for falsely claiming that MMR jabs caused autism.



The model - who split from her billionaire husband Jeffrey Soffer in 2017 - was spotted kissing Andrew Wakefield, 61, this weekend at a food market in Miami.



Andrew relocated to America after being struck off as a doctor and banned from practising medicine in the UK in 2010.



He helped spawned the anti-vaxxer movement when he published a report in The Lancet in 1998 that he claimed linked childhood vaccinations to autism and bowel disease - a report which was later retracted by the publication and branded “utterly false”.

The British Medical Journal said his work was fraudulent and that data had been manipulated, and in 2010 he had his medical license revoked by the General Medical Council after his conduct was called “dishonest and irresponsible”.



However, he relocated to Texas shortly after and continues to make his dangerous medical statements - and this misinformation is being spread further online - which in turn has lead to the rising return of childhood killer diseases like measles in America and across Europe.

Elle, 54, has two children, Arpad Flynn Alexander Busson, 20 and and Aurelius Cy Andrea Busson, 15, that she shares with their father - and her ex - Arpad Busson.



Andrew has also found a dubious ally in Donald Trump - who he has been pictured meeting in 2016 - and the president has also been sharing the damaging statements about vaccinations on his Twitter account.



Elle and Andrew are said to have started dating last year, after Andrew split up with his wife and shortly after Elle received $53million in cash and a $26million home during her divorce from billionaire Jeffrey Soffer.
