Christine McGuinness and Duncan James looked very cozy as they enjoyed dinner in Liverpool on Wednesday.
The Real Housewives of Cheshire star, 35, and the Blue singer, 45, enjoyed a cocktail at Ten Streets Social in the city centre.
Duncan gave her a supportive arm as they walked into the venue, as they were later seen together on a bench outside.
The twink had put his arm around the blond beauty as she placed her hand lovingly on his knee.
However, last month, Christine shut down the romance rumors between the two after they went on a “date” together.

She took to Instagram to explain, “You know it’s a good night when you’re not taking pictures. Many of you say “Oh we are so happy for you” that I was on a date.
‘It was my mate, Duncan is my friend. Duncan has a wonderful partner and I love them both. But yeah, I was just taking the p**s when I said I was on a date.
‘I don’t like dates, I don’t date at all. My vote goes on and on. I was talking all night. I laughed so much it was a very good evening.’
The reality star looked stunning on another outing with Duncan, donning a sporty scoop-neck playsuit to show off her ample cleavage.
She was dressed for the sunny weather in the revealing ensemble, while embellishing her blonde locks with a stylish headband.
Duncan, who has been in a relationship with Brazilian photographer Rodrigo Reis since 2019, looked very casual in a teal t-shirt with Brooklyn written on it, which he paired with loose jeans.
Duncan, who shares 16-year-old daughter Tianie with ex-girlfriend Claire Grainger, previously publicly identified as bisexual in a newspaper interview in 2009, but later came out as gay to fellow Blue band member Simon Webbe in 2012.
Christine and Duncan starred together in ITV’s The Real Full Monty in 2021.
She joked last month, “Me and this person when we first met spent our entire time together naked.”

All revealing: It comes after Christine put a stop to romantic rumors last month
It comes after Christine sizzled in a very busty pink bikini during a sun-soaked family holiday to Spain with her estranged husband Paddy.
The model and presenter, 49, announced their separation in June last year after 11 years of marriage, but have continued to live together for their three children, all of whom have autism.
Christine turned up the heat on Tuesday, showing off her gym-honed abs and bronzed legs in the little two-piece as she posed for some Instagram photos.
The TV personality reclined on a giant inflatable flamingo in the pool before drying off on a sun lounger.
Elsewhere, Paddy shared a funny clip on his account as he carried the inflatables through the rain for his twins Leo and Penelope, eight, and Felicity, five.
Alongside the update, Christine wrote: “Wonderful family holiday. Many of you have asked how the kids were doing (it’s their first trip abroad in 4 years, they don’t really like travel or change) but with a lot of preparation and patience they have done incredibly well and have definitely enjoyed it! Very proud mama.’
On his own post, Paddy added: ‘Fantastic family holiday in Spain. Aside from the clouds… and the rain… oh and the bouncy castles! I was the only tool carrying this one around in the pissing rain!’
Christine shared a photo from the airport of her pushing children’s toys onto a luggage cart and wrote, “This holiday is extra special.”

Last month, Christine opened up about her unusual living arrangement with ex-husband Paddy, admitting, “I don’t know life without him.”
However, they have revealed that they have continued to live with their children in an effort to protect them.
To talk with OK! magazineChristine spoke about the arrangement and said she didn’t know how long it would take.
She said, “It’s certainly not a long-term or forever plan. It works now because we are both so busy and we are in and out of the house so we tend to trade and share days.
“It’s really like any parent: juggling jobs and kids. We definitely don’t want to upset them or change anything too quickly, and neither do I.
“I like slow changes, and we’re fine — we’re family. I’ve known Paddy for 15 years so I don’t know life without him. It is what it is.’
She added, “He’s glad I found a place where I feel comfortable. He was very proud of my book and my documentary. He watched it and loved it, and said he was very happy that I was not only working, but making a big difference.
“It’s good that he supports me, because I need that. I need to be able to leave happy, knowing the kids are taken care of and safe. It’s partnership and teamwork.’
