Garraway denies affair with Du Beke

Kate Garraway has denied reports that she is having an affair with Strictly Come Dancing partner Anton du Beke.

The Sunday Mirror claimed that Du Beke had "kissed" and "nuzzled" the GMTV presenter at a charity bash she was hosting at a pub in North London.

The couple, who were voted off the BBC dance contest in November, were photographed embracing outside the venue after Garraway's husband Derek Draper had left.

A witness said: "They walked back to his car together and had a long, drawn-out embrace and kissed. Then she turned away and Anton walked off to his car with this massive grin on his face, looking over his shoulder at her as she went."

It was also reported that Garraway had visited the dancer's London flat several times over the last few weeks.

However, her spokesman denied the story, branding it "utterly false".
