MATT Lapinskas was pictured holding hands with Dancing On Ice partner Brianne
Delcourt after she claimed they were just good friends.
The ex-EastEnder has just split up with girlfriend Shona McGarty, who insisted
the break-up of their 18-month relationship had nothing to do with ice
skater Brianne.
The 23-year-old, who plays Whitney Dean on the BBC soap, wrote: “Thankx 4
support guys! Yes its true Matt and I have split but it has NOTHING 2 do
with Brianne. Clear head and new beginnings!”
But the pair looked more than just pals as they headed to a bar following
their performance on the ITV show.
Matt and Brianne, who scored three tens in the semi-final, held hands as they
celebrated their success at the drinking hole at the studios.
The sign of affection came hours after Canadian Brianne had tweeted:
“@mattylapinskas and I have become Best Friends
END OF!!!!!! He’s been my
little angel throughout some tough times this year! Leave us be!”
It also followed a surprise birthday bash organised for the 24-year-old actor
organised by Brianne while he was still going out with Shona.
