Gethin Jones sparked romance rumours with First Dates star Cici Coleman as they enjoyed a night out at a West End show.
The Morning Live host was in London watching a performance of 2:22 A Ghost Story, which stars friend Frankie Bridge, and as he arrived to the Apollo Theatre to watch the performance, he was accompanied by blonde stunner Cici.
According to The Sun, Gethin and Cici were “joined at the hip” as they watched the spooky critically-acclaimed play, and enjoyed drinks with Frankie and Radio 2’s Richie Anderson in the bar afterwards.
They then reportedly headed to the Groucho Club to “carry on partying”, and an insider told the publication they’ve “grown close and have been spending time together”.

However, despite wedding plans, Gethin called off the engagement after 10 months, leaving Katherine devastated.

He briefly dated former The Only Way Is Essex star Lucy Mecklenburgh, while Katherine is now happily married to American artist, Andrew Levitas, and the couple have two children, daughter, Aaliyah Reign, and son, Xander Robert Selwyn.
Last month, Gethin revealed his friend had “put me on (celeb dating app) Raya”, but the Welshman wasn’t impressed, and confessed he was “quite old fashioned” and would prefer to meet someone in person, not online.

Meanwhile, Cici split from her boyfriend last year, and in an interview with Express.co.uk, she said she was “on all the apps” and was looking for a connection with someone now she was in a “good place” in her life.
“I know it's the cliche thing, but you get better connections with people when you're better,” she explained, but insisted she wasn’t focusing all of her “energy” into dating.
“I'm putting energy into me, my job and my friendships and the extension of that is I meet great people,” Cici added. “I kind of needed that reminder that there are some really lovely men out there.”
