Rebecca Adlington and Mark Foster arrive arm-in-arm to GQ Men Of The Year Awards following Rio flirt fest
The pair seemed very cosy after a fun summer presenting swimming in Brazil
REBECCA Adlington arrived at the GQ Men Of The Year Awards this evening alongside Mark Foster.
The pair’s relationship has been under scrutiny after they put on a very flirty display while presenting the swimming during the Rio Olympics.
And tonight the former athletes once again raised eyebrows thanks to their cosy display on the red carpet, and again as they left the venue at the end of the evening.
An eyewitness told The Sun Online: "Mark and Rebecca left the ceremony together looking very relaxed in each others company.
"They chatted non-stop as they made their way to the exit and at one point she placed her hand on his arm as they walked along."
Mum-on-one Rebecca looked chic wearing a pair of black trousers with a crisp white shirt - while she added a touch of glitz with a silver belt and strappy shoes.
Mark, 46, was very dapper dressed in his black tie suit - showing off his tan after a summer away.
Rebecca split from husband Harry Needs in March after the pair had been married for 18 months.
The pundits raised eyebrows last month when viewers noticed Rebecca’s hand slide to Mark’s leg.

Viewers took to social media to comment on the chemistry between the swimmers.
Jason Scott Tilley (@TilleyEsquire) tweeted: "Rebecca Adlington so fancies Mark Foster."
JOPI (@JoePinder20) added: "Bloody hell @BBCSport can you just shift Mark Foster and Rebecca Adlington apart, I'm here to watch swimming not them touch each other up."
Speaking at the time Mark played down their on-screen chemistry, saying: “It's been funny the attention we've been getting at the BBC with people remarking on Becky touching my leg.
“But the reality is that Becky does that simply to get my attention either when she has something to say or else she wants me to butt in.”
Rebecca won gold in both the 400m freestyle and 800m freestyle at the 2008 Olympics and bronze in the same disciplines at London 2012.
Mark is a former world champion and among the most successful British swimmers of all time.
