'One Show' romance rumours continue

The One Show hosts Adrian Chiles and Christine Bleakley have sparked further rumours that they are more than just friends.

Bleakley first set tongues wagging earlier this month when she spoke about her chemistry with Chiles, just days after it was announced that he had split from Jane Garvey, his wife of nine years.

Christine, who replaced Myleene Klass on the programme last year, later released a statement to clarify her remarks, explaining that while she and Adrian are "good friends off screen", talk of a romance was "utterly ludicrous".

According to the Daily Mail, the pair met up for a meal at a West London flat belonging to a relative of Adrian's after they finished work on the show last week. They arrived separately and seemed to be keen to disguise themselves; Adrian pulled up on a motorcycle and wore his helmet until he was safely indoors, while Christine wore a black baseball cap and arrived with her head bowed.

The pair spent an hour together at the flat before Christine left and returned to her own home in a taxi.

A spokesman for Chiles refused to comment on the newspaper's story.
