With a wide grin on her face, Hannah Waterman looks more than happy as she walks down a London street clasping the hand of a male friend.
Just three weeks later it was revealed that the actress had ended her three-year marriage to Strictly Come Dancing star Ricky Groves.
The pictures show Hannah letting go of her friend, Les Miserables star Simon Bowman, and turning away when she spots the cameras.
An onlooker told the Sun: 'She was walking down the street openly holding hands. She and the guy looked totally relaxed and happy.
'But as soon as they saw they were being photographed, Hannah dropped his hand and they jumped apart.'
Bowman has the lead role of Jean Valjean in musical Les Miserables.
Hannah's spokesman said: 'Simon is an old family friend - he's actually an old friend of Dennis's.
'He has a partner and there is nothing going on.'
Hannah's marriage ended after she lost three stone on an intensive diet and exercise regime.
