Oh Jessie! What will your boyfriend say?
She's almost as famous for her turnover of men as she is for playing fiery Kat Slater in EastEnders, so why would we be shocked to see Jessie Wallace hanging off the arm of yet another suitor?
Probably because this mystery man isn't her current boyfriend. The brunette actress, whose squeeze the last time we looked was builder Christian Osborn, left Soho's Shadow Lounge with the leather-jacket-clad chap.
Perhaps more shocking is the fact that inveterate hellraiser Jessie, 34, appears alarmingly sober. Four years ago the East Londoner was almost sacked from the BBC1 soap for her wild behaviour. She was regularly seen falling out of nightclubs after booze-fuelled evenings with her co-stars. Today though, things couldn't be more different.
Looking trimmer than ever, Jessie, who is mum to 21-monthold daughter Tallulah, was all smiles as she tried to flag a taxi down in the heart of the capital. An onlooker said: "It was unbelievable to think that this is the same woman who used to get herself in such a state." In the past, the usually unluckyin-love Jessie, who lives in Wanstead, has dated fireman Dave Morgan, fraudster Paul Whitworth - as well as a fling with her former Albert Square costar Billy Murray.
As for the new man... surely there must be a perfectly innocent explanation.
