PETE Wicks and Maura Higgins glammed up for a date night in London ahead of the Love Island beauty's I'm A Celeb stint.
Maura, 33, will soon jet Down Under to join the rest of the I'm A Celeb 2024 line-up.
Yet she was eager to catch up with Strictly Come Dancing star Pete, 36, before her long-haul trip - with the night at the London Palladium proving an excuse to dress up before switching to her jungle slacks.
The ITV2 star looked glam in a black velvet sleeveless waistcoat top, worn over a white puffball skirt.
She donned black point-toe heels to finish her smart yet sophisticated look, and styled her brunette locks poker-straight.
Pete, who left Strictly fans sobbing with his emotional Couple's Choice routine on Saturday, was wearing a classic black polo neck matched with a dark suit.
He styled his hair off his face and took the lead guiding the pair down the street.
Last week, Pete and Maura confirmed their romance with a sweet kiss after a night in east London.
It came after the duo were spotted "all over" each other at a boozy celeb bash.
At the time, an onlooker told The Sun: "They were chatting to Pete's co-star Wynne Evans and it was very clear they were more than just friends.
"Things have clearly turned romantic as they were all over each other.
"At one point she ran her hands through his hair under his hat, and they were cuddling loads too.
"They looked really cosy and comfortable with each other."
The pair first got fans all hot under the collar when they were pictured kissing in a posh bar in London this summer.
Meanwhile, it was claimed Glow Up Ireland star Maura "couldn't stop smiling" after her romance with Pete was revealed - and she swiped an I'm A Celeb spot after Tommy Fury pulled out.
Yet fans fear Maura - who will be a late I'm A Celeb entrant - will be first to pull out.
INSTANT CONNECTION
Maura - who shot to fame on the 2019 series of Love Island - recently spoke for the first time about her connection with former Towie star Pete.
She said: "We just get on very, very well. I adore him, he’s an amazing person.
"Do you know what's so weird? We met very soon after me coming off Love Island and we just instantly clicked.
“Our humour is the same. It’s like that sick, dark humour. It's very abusive. We abuse each other. Very nasty, it’s hilarious."
Maura made the admission on the We Need To Talk podcast with Paul Brunson.
Yet despite the pair's blossoming romance, some fans are still convinced Pete is "head over heels" for Strictly partner Jowita Przystal, 30.
Last week he was seen looking cosy with the former show winner during their rehearsals.
