Seann Walsh was pictured enjoying a coffee date with a mystery female companion in London on Friday, after eased lockdown rules saw the reopening of non-essential shops.
The comedian, 34, who hit headlines in October 2018 for kissing married Strictly Come Dancing professional Katya Jones, was in good company as he and his friend sipped on warm beverages and puffed on cigarettes.
Opting for comfort, the TV star looked relaxed in black gymwear as he chatted to the brunette in front of a restaurant, with waiters taking orders outside in protective face shields.

The curly-haired funnyman cut a casual figure in dark-wash joggers, a light, waterproof jacket by Nike and canvas shoes.
His pal, meanwhile, looked equally low-key as she sported a yellow T-shirt, ankle-grazing jeans and white trainers.
The pair giggled as they engaged in a lively conversation during a rare appearance amid the coronavirus pandemic.
While the UK alert level has been lowered from four to three meaning transmission is ‘no longer high’, it is unclear when the hospitality sector will be fully back up and running.

Seann was last reported to be dating Katya lookalike girlfriend Grace Adderley following his cheating scandal.
MailOnline has contacted Seann’s representatives for further comment.
The media personality and his dance partner Katya, 31, faced a huge backlash after pictures surfaced of the pair locking lips on their booze-fuelled night out nearly two years ago, when he was dating Rebecca Humphries and she was still married to now-estranged husband Neil Jones.

The TV star has spoken in-depth about the aftermath of the controversy, kissing scandal with his Strictly dancing partner Katya Jones.
Appearing on Richard Herring’s Leicester Square Theatre Podcast late last year, he hashed out details of how his mental health was affected by the shocking incident, confessing he still sees a therapist and feels a deep regret over it.
He said: ‘Of course I’m in therapy! You can’t go through [a scandal like that] and not be. But people seemed to enjoy Strictly. I was very sorry and still am.’

Shortly after the scandal, the comedian issued an apology in which he blamed his actions on alcohol, branding it a ‘one-off’ and a ‘mistake’.
The dance expert echoed the sentiments, claiming she was sorry for the ‘hurt’ she had caused by her actions, but insisted her marriage to Neil was ‘absolutely fine’.
After the kiss came to light, Seann was publicly dumped by his girlfriend of five years Rebecca, and Katya split from her husband of six years.
