Danniella Westbrook has sparked romance rumours after she was spotted out on the town with Peaky Blinders actor and pal Matthew Postlethwaite.
The former EastEnders actress shared a cute snap of the pair together which left many speculating that they might be an item.
The 48-year-old posted the pic, which was taken at a swanky bar in London, and wrote: "He makes me smile," and added a smiley-face emoji.
"We had a fabulous night last night."
Daniella and Matthew, 30, who played Nipper in the BBC show, smiled for the photo in the busy Soho bar, writes The Mirror.
The actor spoke previously of how his mum wasn't "impressed" when he shaved his head for the role.
"It’s fair to say that she wasn’t impressed. I have done some modelling, so I accept that when a role or photo shoot requires you to look a certain way, it’s easier to just accept it."
Matthew played the role alongside his twin brother Jeff, who was cast as Henry.
Meanwhile, Danniella is preparing to have a rib removed after struggling with a sinus infection.
The Sam Mitchell actress was admitted to hospital at the end of last year and said that she has several operations lately.
"I’m going through a lot of operations at the moment," she told OK! magazine.
"They’re good but they’re very hard."
She revealed: "The first two of my operations haven’t taken a toll on me but the next lot will do. I’m seeing a bone surgeon next who is going to be removing a rib."
The actress has recently hit out at the London-based soap after it recast Kim Medcalf for the return of Sam Mitchell.
Kim and Danniella had shared the role over the years after Danniella, who has battled addictions, was too unwell to film.
She took to Twitter and told the soap that they "would be hearing from her legal team".
The mum-of-two tweeted: "Wishing kym the best of luck at @BBCEastenders__ yet again this poor woman has to recreate a Samantha Mitchell as close to my last two recent come backs on the square go smash it darling..x oh but not to @bbceastenders my legal team will be in touch to know why when I held the.."
She continued: "@bbceastenders to know why when I held the…@bbceastenders contract too the last two times the character bounced in &out on a ratings or stint.
"For the record I was never sacked or dismissed and saw out both contracts one of them even being extended for episodes."
