Might we have a hot new couple on our hands? The X Factor queen and the rugby star were spotted dining, dancing – and reportedly, kissing - in London

Hot new couple alert! Alexandra Burke and Danny Cipriani were spotted enjoying each other’s company in London last night, as they went out for dinner, drinks and a spot of dancing… The pair started off the night by dining together at Cottons in North London, before making their way – separately – to celeb hotspot Chinawhites.

‘Alexandra and Danny were all over each other,’ a Chinawhites spy told Heat magazine. ‘They couldn’t get enough of each other, kissing each other’s necks and flirting like love-struck teens.’

The pair first met back in March, at the launch of a new Wasps Rugby kit in London.

Since the Danny’s high-profile split from Kelly Brook last month, the rugby star has been linked to a string of women, including Lindsay Lohan and 90210 starlet Jessica Lowndes.

Alex’s spokesperson today confirmed that the two had dinner together, while Danny’s publicist admitted that they spent time together in the nightclub.

‘Alex has fancied Danny for a while, and thinks he’s pretty hot,’ a source told The Mirror.

‘It all went well and they did kiss, so maybe there’ll be a second date.’

Alexandra took to her Twitter account later on that evening, Tweeting: ‘Hmm life is sweet! Life is such a flirt.’

Hmm indeed… We have a funny feeling this isn’t the last we’ll see of these two.
