Hugh Bonneville and his girlfriend Heidi Kadlecová put on a very loved-up display as they made a rare appearance together at an event on Thursday.
The British actor, 61, cosied up to his glamorous partner as the pair enjoyed an evening out together at the Yard O Led British Historic Pen Revival in Piccadilly Arcade.
Hugh looked extremely smart in a corduroy three-piece suit and silk tie, whilst vegan influencer Heidi matched him in a sophisticated tweed trench coat.
The pair – who only started dating in recent months – have gone from strength-to-strength in their new relationship, with Hugh even claiming to be a ‘different person’ around his new girlfriend.
Other notable names who attended included ITV’s Ben Shephard, his wife Annie and presenter Charley Boorman.
Great British Bake Off icon Mary Berry was also present at the event.

Ben and Charley also went for a smart outfit, with Ben wearing a dark green velvet blazer and Charley opting for a navy shirt.
Mary looked chic in a white tailored crochet shirt as she stood beside the boys.
Richard Hammond could also be seen in a group photo too, posing between pals Charley and Ben.
Hugh, who shot to superstardom for his portrayal of the Earl of Grantham in the ITV drama Downton Abbey, split from his wife of 25 years Lulu Williams in September 2023.
Since then he reportedly enjoyed a string of dates with Canadian actress Claire Rankin, 54, back in March, but he has since moved on with Heidi and the pair are now happily together.
The Daily Mail revealed last August that he had introduced her to the cast and crew while filming the latest Downton movie.
And he is said to have asked Heidi to spend the day on location as he filmed final scenes for Go Away! in Hertfordshire.
A source told the Daily Mail that her presence perked up the veteran star, whose mood changed considerably while in the vegan influencer’s company sparking onlookers to describe the pair as ‘a couple of lovebirds’.

Plus, locals spotted the pair cuddling during breaks from filming scenes next to a church.
A source said: ‘Hugh and Heidi seemed really loved up and excited to be in each other’s company.’
‘Her being on set brought out another side to him, he was like a different person on set when she was around, considerably perkier.’
And earlier this month the couple looked happier than ever as he cosied up to the vegan influencer on the star-studded red carpet for the film’s premiere.
Hugh cut a very dapper figure in a black tuxedo which he paired with a crisp white shirt and black bow tie.
Meanwhile Heidi coordinated with the Paddington star in a glamorous black and nude dazzling gown which showed off her amazing figure.
