Pete Wicks and Samantha Kenny were captured sharing a sweet hug after meeting at the Amazonica club on Sunday, before they headed off in a cab together.
The former TOWIE star, 37, was captured in the intimate moment with the Love Island bombshell, 27, in the heart of Mayfair as they enjoyed a night out in the capital.
The blonde beauty, who appeared on last summer’s series of the hit ITV dating show, looked sensational in a busty black strapless top and denim.
Braving the cold weather, she completed the look with a pair of open-toe black stilettos, a chic black leather bag bag and a diamond chain choker necklace.
The affectionate display comes after it was reported Pete has ‘moved on and couldn’t care less’ about ex Maura Higgins – as drama surrounding her kiss with Danny Jones rumbles on.
Pete and Maura, 34, were first linked in August last year, but MailOnline exclusively revealed that the former couple went their separate ways in February, and Maura was later seen kissing McFly’s Danny Jones at the BRITs.

The former TOWIE star had already booked to go on a lavish 5 star holiday in Dubai meaning he was able to escape the drama.
A source told MailOnline: ‘Pete has moved on and couldn’t care less about Maura. He feels indifferent about the drama currently surrounding her.
‘He is focusing on himself and enjoying a break in the sun before getting back into work.’
Pete stayed at The Lana H๏τel, the Dorchester Collection’s first H๏τel in the Middle East, with rooms starting at £730 per night.
After six years of construction, the five-star H๏τel opened in May last year in the heart of Downton Dubai.
Inside all rooms, interiors have been influenced by modern minimalism and the bright weather of Dubai, featuring outdoor terraces and floor-to-ceiling glᴀss windows providing plenty of natural light.
While Pete soaked up the sun, Maura threw herself into work for a shoot in Los Angeles with Oh Polly.
Maura hit the headlines after she was seen ‘kissing’ married McFly star Danny Jones at Universal Music’s BRIT Awards afterparty at the start of the month.

In the wake of the scandal, both Maura and Danny have been hit by a wave of criticism, with many furious on behalf of Georgia, Danny’s wife of 10 years and mother of his son.
Amid a period of silence, Danny later apologised to his wife Georgia Horsley for ‘putting her in the situation’.
On Instagram, two weeks after the incident took place, Danny said: ‘Hello everyone. Sorry its taken me a while to post this but I’ve taken some time out to be with those closest to me.
‘I want to deeply apologise to my wife and family for putting them in this situation. I love then so much and we’ll continue to deal with this privately. I love you guys, thank you for you patience, understanding, and support. See you all soon, Danny.’
Pete seemingly took a swipe at his former flame Maura as he joked about the ‘awful lot that happened at the BRITs’ during his latest podcast episode.
Hinting at the ongoing drama on his Staying Relevant podcast with Sam Thompson , Pete put on a shocked face as he joked: ‘So… a LOT happened at the BRITs, an awful lot happened at the BRITs. I am probably gonna leave that there because…
‘A lot happened at the BRITs but we’re just gonna move on from that and we’ll tell you about our BRIT’s experience.’
Sam laughed as he smugly added: ‘Our BRITs was great. We had a lovely BRITs experience.’

Before Pete chimed in with: ‘Nothing happened there… for us. But we had a great time, Universal afterparty, we stayed there for a little beer, had a few drinks.’
Former Made In Chelsea star Sam, 32, went on the joke that they ‘did it right,’ before Pete put his head in his hands and quipped: ‘No, no, no, it’s not that other people did it wrong.’
Sam then clarified: ‘What I mean is at these parties you don’t want to linger for too long. We got there nice and early, we left the BRITs a little bit early, got there before the crush happens.
‘Had a few drinks, had a really good time, spoke to loads of people and then left at about 1am, which is the perfect time to bounce before everything gets a little bit messy.’
It comes after the news that Pete is reportedly glad his brief relationship with Maura didn’t last as he tries to avoid drama.
Sources have claimed that the ‘attention’ surrounding her kiss with Danny is exactly what Pete tries to avoid.
A source told OK! magazine: ‘This sort of attention is exactly what Pete doesn’t want.
‘He’s seen this sort of media circus happen when he was on TOWIE and it’s not the sort of relationship he wants.
‘It’s a shame because it will probably bring his guard back up and he just wants to find someone he can genuinely love.’
MailOnline has contacted Pete’s representative for comment.
