The Sun On Sunday exclusively revealed pictures of Paul, 51, and Candice, 32, getting very cosy outside the Pride Of Britain awards afterparty last week.

Candice, 32, has now been seen out for the first time since the snaps emerged as she got on with training for the new series of the skating show.

She was seen leaving the ice rink wearing her work out gear and looking at her phone as she headed home.

The baking champ walked to a waiting car before zooming off.

It comes after Paul broke his silence by laughing off the incident with Candice on Twitter.

He reacted to the news after Candice made a joke about it on social media.

She wrote: "No kisses or hugs hello or goodbye from now on- handshakes or waves only!"

And Paul replied: "Incredible ..!" with a laughing emoji.

The Sun Online revealed the pair were together ALL evening and shocked onlookers with their behaviour.

They didn't seem to care who saw them as an onlooker exclusively told us: "They were all over each other; hugging and stroking each other.

"The Pride Of Britain awards isn't the place for that kind of behaviour and we were all shocked by it. Other celebrities noticed and all eyes were on them."

They were so familiar with each other that attendees were convinced Candice was Paul's wife Alexandra - who he cheated on in 2013.

Our source continued: "Both Paul and Candice had been drinking and they didn't care who was looking.

"We just assumed it was his wife - until we saw her celebrating her engagement the next day in the newspapers."

Paul previously had an affair Marcela Val­ladolid, who was his co-star on the US version of The Great British Bake Off.

He has since said his indiscretion was the "biggest mistake of my life" and Alexandra forgave him the following January.

Meanwhile, Candice shared exclusive engagement pictures with her boyfriend Liam Macaulay in Hello! magazine on Monday, just hours before she attended the bash with Paul.

Afterwards, the Bake Off stars went to a party where Paul was seen appearing to lean in for a kiss with Candice.

Candice, 32, was also seen appearing to toy with his ear as they sipped champagne and he draped a blanket over her shoulders.

A source told The Sun On Sunday: "There were lots of people inside but Paul and Candice seemed happy enough on their own.

“It raised a few eyebrows that they were cosying up together but people were saying they were the only Bake Off stars there.”

The pair left separately. Paul got into a chauffeur-driven car at 1.30am and Candice headed to a taxi.
