Having been spotted out with Scott at last week's Jog On Cancer bash in London, Gemma seemed to confirm that she's not feeling so dejected after all.

And the pair could hardly keep their hands off one another.

Gemma wore a satin play-suit, sporting a floral design in cream and blue.

The outfit featured a decorative slit on the torso, allowing her brozned stomach to be glimpsed beneath.

The 32-year-old Emmerdale and Holby City actress enjoyed a cold glass of white wine as she snuggled in the corner with Scott, who was all in black, looking considerably more casual.

But they didn't seem too fussed about such trivialities as what they were wearing as they kissed and hugged in the corner of the room, proving Gemma's dating ban is well and truly up.

A source supposedly close to Gemma to The Mirror last weel: 'It’s early days but she is happy. Scott is a lovely guy and very supportive. They make a good team.' 

The blonde beauty - who wore her wavy locks loose for the event and finished her look off with a dusting of blue eye shadow - first met Nick last September at the TV Choice Awards.

Gemma had not long spoke to the Daily Star about her relationship with Nick, who is 22 years her senior.

She said: 'It was weird. It was very eggy and it did put me off dating. I've been a little bit burned and now is the time for me to be a little bit selfish and look after me.'

After they met, Nick immediately whisked Gemma off for a romantic dinner after the glitzy award ceremony and they began dating, eight months after Nick's separation from wife Jessica.

But when pictures emerged of the pair enjoying a romantic getaway in Edinburgh, the 54-year-old star abruptly broke up with Gemma. 

Nick returned to his wife Jessica Knowles, 28, and supported her as she battled cervical cancer. 

By January they decided to separate but remained on good terms for the sake of their son, Eddie.
