Strictly Come Dancing favourite Kelvin Fletcher invited his dance partner Oti Mabuse to join him at a glitzy event.
Former Emmerdale star Kelvin, 35, decided to take dance partner Oti, 29, along with him to the Autosports Awards in London.
The pair attended the star-studded ceremony together at Grosvenor House Hotel just days after they dodged being pictured together in a taxi after Strictly's It Takes Two.
Shrugging off last week's shenanigans, Kelvin and Oti were suited and booted for the occasion.
Oti was spotted in a low-cut red dress and Kelvin opted for a smart tweed blazer and black jumper to avoid the cold.
In pictures, the pair were seen beaming together after making it through to the grand Strictly final which takes place this weekend.
But despite bookies' favourites Kelvin and Oti having fun at the event, it's the second time Kelvin has shunned his stunning wife Liz Marsland in recent weeks.
A rep for Kelvin has been contacted by Mirror Online for comment.
He snubbed his own wedding anniversary to rehearse for the show, which left professional dancer Oti "furious" and she is said to have urged Kelvin to be with his devoted wife so as not to spark "Strictly curse" rumours.
It was his fourth wedding anniversary with Liz, who has been supporting him during his stint on the show and has been taking care of their two children while he's away training.
But Kelvin insisted on spending the day with Oti and the rest of the Strictly crew to rehearse the American Smooth.
A source told The Sun at the time: "All the celebrities were encouraged to be in London this week as that’s where the backing dancers are based.
"Oti knew it was Kelvin and Liz's anniversary and was happy for him to go to Manchester, but he didn't want to.
"He takes the show very seriously and didn't want them to be behind the curve."
But his decision to spend it with his dance partner clearly paid off as their Beauty and the Beast themed routine won them a whopping 39 points in the quarter final.
The pair will dance together in Saturday's final and hope to lift the famous Glitterball trophy.
