Panettiere, Jones seen yachting in Cannes

Hayden Panettiere has been spotted vacationing in Cannes with T4 presenter Steve Jones.

The pair, who were in town for the annual film festival, were photographed by the Daily Mail sunbathing and relaxing with David Furnish on board his yacht on the French Riviera.

Last week, they sparked rumours of a romance when they were seen leaving London's Nobu Berkeley together after enjoying dinner with friends including Furnish.

Panettiere, 19, split from her Heroes co-star Milo Ventimiglia in February, with sources reportedly citing their 12-year age gap as the reason. Jones, 32, has previously been linked to Hollywood stars Halle Berry and Pamela Anderson.
