Moment Alex Scott and Jess Glynne are spotted cosying up inside Attitude Awards at their first event as a couple
THE hottest new couple in showbiz, Alex Scott and Jess Glynne, cemented their romance as they cosied up together at the Attitude Awards.
My exclusive photo shows the former footballer and chart-topping pop star, whose new single Friend of Mine is out next Friday, cuddling up together at the afterparty, where they celebrated together until gone 1am.
They sat next to each other during the awards do and then raised a toast after Alex won the Sport award.
But they made sure they dodged any questions about their romance by hiring a private security guard to stand by them for the whole evening.
A source said: “Jess and Alex were really tactile.
“They had friends with them and chatted as a group during the ceremony but at the afterparty, they were inseparable.
“They were the only celebrities to have a private security guard to stop people approaching them, so they could have fun as a pair.
“They celebrated Alex’s win until late into the night and didn’t leave until gone 1am.
“Earlier in the evening they had both practically sprinted down the red carpet.
“They didn’t want to speak to any journalists because they knew people would ask about their relationship.
“Clearly they aren’t ready to talk about it just yet.”
During her acceptance speech earlier in the evening, Alex said: “Over the last couple of years there’s been a lot of growth to realise the person who’s now very comfortable in their own skin.
“I know my values, I know what I am and the community that I represent.”
The Sun first told last Thursday how BBC sports commentator Alex and Jess – who holds the record for the most No1 singles for a British female solo artist with seven – were an item.
It was revealed that they have secretly been together for two months and attended Wimbledon together over the summer as they grew close.
By the looks of things on Wednesday evening, their blossoming relationship is still going from strength to strength.
