Zara McDermott has sparked romance speculation with Emily in Paris heartthrob Lucien Laviscount, following her split from Sam Thompson.
The 28-year-old was spotted chatting and dancing with Lucien, 32, at the BRIT Awards over the weekend, where they sat together for the whole night.
An onlooker told the MailOnline that the actor, who plays Alfie in the hit Netflix series, appeared “smitten” with the former Love Island star.
They said: “Lucien was making his move. He was chatting her up all night, whispering in her ear and dancing with her He seemed really smitten.
“Zara clearly enjoyed his company as she couldn’t stop smiling and laughing.”
Zara and Lucien were sat just tables away from her ex Sam, who was seated at the Hits Radio table with his best friend Pete Wicks and Olivia Attwood.
While Zara and Lucien appeared close at the bash, a representative for Zara has “categorically denied” there is any romance between them.
Sam and Zara’s split was first reported in December, after five years together.
Shortly after, the former Love Island star confirmed that she had moved out of their Chelsea home.
A source previously told the MailOnline: “Sam and Zara have ended their relationship.
“It’s been an incredibly difficult decision for them to part ways; they still care and have a lot of love for each other.
“But after a tough year of working hard at their romance, they have split and will be focusing on their individual careers going forward into 2025.
“There has been no scandal or fallout between them, it’s just the result of a difficult year, where they both had to spend a lot of time focused on their own projects.”
