Sitting in what appeared to be a media room, Frankie, 27, wrapped an arm around ITV star Josie's shoulder for a smiley selfie.

Both looked smart for the annual event with Frankie in a camel coloured coat and wearing a shirt and tie.

While Josie, 38, wore a fedora, a nude roll-neck and brown coat, which co-star Chris Hughes joked made her look like Inspector Gadget.

Frankie captioned the photo "cute couple" when he shared it on Instagram, while Josie shared it to her Instagram story and added "I love him".

Handsome Frankie has landed a job at covering a sport he's been passionate since childhood.

Last year he told The Sun how he was welcomed by racing fans with open arms.

"The racing community has really embraced me, which is really nice," he said.

"I haven't had anyone turn their nose up. Trainers, jockeys, racing fans have all supported me. 

"I was lucky in that I got asked. I've always loved the races, so when someone says 'do you want to come to the races for work', it's a bit of a dream job.

"When I started it was a bit of fun and thought I'd see how it went, but I really enjoyed the presenting side of things. 

"I've been doing it more and more over the past year and now it's snowballed.

"It's my main focus at the moment - I'm really enjoying it so I'd be mad not to say more to it."

In the early stages of his transition to a TV presenter, Frankie was given advice by another Love Island star turned horse racing broadcaster, Chris Hughes.

He said: "Chris was doing quite a bit of work in racing when I first started. He's been really open-armed with me. It's more about the races rather than ourselves."
