Nick Knowles and Emmerdale’s Gemma Oaten snapped hugging as he holds her shoes
Pair had earlier attended the TV Choice Awards together
WHAT a pair Nick Knowles and soap star Gemma Oaten made as they were spotted looking cosy outside a London hotel following a late night at a showbiz bash.
The DIY SOS presenter, 53, acted as the perfect gent by placing his suit jacket around the 32-year-old to keep her warm and even held on to her shoes for her.
Gemma meanwhile could be seen leaning into him with his arm firmly around her as they studied his phone together at the upmarket Langham Hotel.
Earlier in the evening they had attended the TV Choice Awards at the nearby Dorchester Hotel.
The blonde – who plays Rachel Brackle in the ITV show – had posted a picture of her and Nick along with some of their showbiz pals at the ceremony which saw Emmerdale scoop best soap.
The following day she tweeted: “Finally recovered @TVChoice awards. Safe to say ball was had! @MrNickKnowles @sally_lindsay @simonrim Paul O’Grady.”
