Chris Tarrant has been dating former EastEnders actress Debbie Arnold.

The Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? host attended the Sport Industry Awards on Thursday with Arnold - who played April Branning - but panicked when they were spotted by photographers.

An onlooker told The People: "They arrived together and were walking towards their table when they spotted a host of photographers. Chris suddenly went pale and very coy. He hid round a corner, gesturing Debbie to walk on ahead without him so they wouldn't be snapped together.

"He waited till she had sat down and then came over to join her. The two of them were very much together but Chris didn't want them to be spotted."
