Gissa kiss! Denise Welch snuggles up to her Dancing On Ice partner Matt Ivers as they arrived at a party for the show's stars in London last nightShe's currently fighting to stay on the ice after narrowly missing the skate off on this weekend's Dancing On Ice.
But last night, Denise Welch had no battle getting a kiss from her dance partner as they attended a party for the show in London last night.
The actress was snapped cosying up to Matt Evers outside the Bungalow 8 bar where stars of the celebrity skating show had gathered for a party.
Welch, 52, grabbed her ice man as they arrived at the bash and theatrically lifted her leg up round his as she reached up for a kiss.
And Evers, 34, was only to happy to oblige her as he grabbed her thigh and kissed her back, before they laughed and posed for the waiting cameras.
However, Evers was a distant memory by the end of the night as the Loose Women co-host was accompanied out of the club by singer Gareth Gates, who took part in series three of the show in 2008.
Come on love, let's get you home: Gareth Gates gallantly escorts a worse-for-wear Denise home after the bashThe Pop Idol runner-up put his arm round to Welch to steady her before being a gentleman and escorting her to her car and then home.
The show is only in its third week but six celebrities have already been booted off, including Elen Rivas and Angela Rippon.
But despite the gruelling training sessions that the remaining contestants are enduring to try and guarantee their place each week, that didn't stop them letting their hair down last night.
