The foursome appeared in high spirits after greeting each other with hugs and kisses ahead of their double date.

Casey, who made the finals of the show in 2014 as a member of eight-piece boyband Stereo Kicks, has since split from the flop group and replaced George Shelley in Union J alongside Jaymi.

As well as joining the chart topping group who found fame on the X Factor in 2011, Casey is set to star in E4’s brand new show Stage School with girlfriend Betsy.

Betsy, whose group Only The Young were a huge hit with viewers of ITV show in 2014, announced the group had gone their separate ways in November following a fall out with fellow member Parisa Tarjomani.

Following the nasty split, Betsy wrote: “I feel like a bird let out of its cage. I'm now free to be me... Just a message to let you all know I love every one of u so much.”

Discussing the new show with DigitalSpy, Casey revealed their budding romance is set to take centre stage.

He revealed: “It’s harder than the X Factor.

“When there were big arguments [with Betsy], we were separated straight away.

"And I was saying, 'That's my girlfriend, I want to talk to her, I want to talk to her' - but they wouldn't let me!”
