Taylor, Walsh spotted together in London

Philip Taylor and Kate Walsh have been photographed holding hands in their first joint public appearance away from The Apprentice.

The couple, whose fling was revealed on this week's show, were separated on screen when Taylor was fired by Sir Alan Sugar.

An onlooker told the Daily Mail: "They were holding hands and looking adoringly at one another like any other young couple in love.

"Kate was laughing and smiling at Philip's jokes and he seemed very proud to have her on his arm. He's said he was attracted to her as soon as they met, and that attraction clearly hasn't worn off."

Taylor has admitted that he was "like a puppy dog" around Walsh, while she reportedly claimed that the pair only shared one kiss and did not have an affair.
