Speaking to the publication, a source said: ‘They have kept their relationship out of the spotlight but have attended a number of events together this year including Royal Ascot and the ITV Palooza earlier this month.

‘At the Dancing with Heroes ball Kelly couldn’t keep her hands off Tony and was stroking the back of his head all evening.
