enjoyed dinner and drinks with glamorous girlfriend Katie Alexander on Wednesday evening, courtesy of the world's best young chefs and mixologists.
The veteran presenter was in attendance as Hotel Jumeirah Tower in Knightsbridge hosted the Young Chef Young Waiter Young Mixologist world championships, a four day competition featuring nine international teams from across the world.
Drafted in to serve as guest judges, wheelchair bound Holmes, 66, and his younger girlfriend were accompanied by competition president Robert Walton MBE as they sampled high-end dishes and cocktails during Wednesday's event.
The former Good Morning Britain host was making a rare public appearance with Alexander, 44, his first romantic attachment since ending his fourteen year marriage to fellow presenter Ruth Langsford.
Wearing a Christian Dior blazer over a blue striped blouse and white slacks, the therapist added a touch of glamour to proceedings while posing for photos alongside Holmes.
Other guests in attendance at the central London event included celebrity makeup artist Gary Cockerill and his husband, Phil Turner.

Holmes recently sparked concern after 'falling asleep and slurring' live on a recent edition of Breakfast with Eamonn and Ellie on GB News.
The broadcaster, who has suffered a number of health issues, returned alongside co-host Ellie Costello in March to present the latest news and headlines.
But he appeared to doze off while Costello grilled Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister, Darren Jones MP, about Peter Mandelson and the former politician's association with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
A source told The Sun: 'It hasn’t gone unnoticed that Eamonn has been struggling a lot more lately.
'Today he was falling asleep on air and slurring his words. There were lots of messages coming in about it.'
During a recent appearance on Scott Wright’s podcast, Session7, Holmes discussed his health issues and the daily struggles he faces both in and outside the workplace.
Asked what the future holds, he said: 'I don't know, society's ageist, I'm sick, I'm in a wheelchair, that's been horrendous to deal with for two years.
'Certainly, I don't think TV wants to know you. I can't get up. I need help getting out of this chair. I have to have carers throughout the day.
'But once I'm sitting down, I can do everything. I understand my job, I understand what I'm supposed to do. But I understand it's tough for people to deal with you.
He added: 'When you're disabled, it's unbelievable how society... whether it's a theatre, a restaurant or a cinema.
'The cinema never ceases to amaze me. I love the cinema, but when you go to the cinema and you're disabled, you get two choices: you're either at the very, very, very back and beyond of the cinema, or you're right at the very front.
'And you think to yourself, why is this? Why does it have to be one or the other like that?'

Holmes talked about his health woes in a previous interview with the Sunday World, telling the Irish publication: 'I have to have carers now looking after me.
'Somebody dresses me in the morning, somebody undresses me at night, somebody gets my food for me.
'I have to be tested with spinal injections to see if it will take, and then grow some life back into my spine and legs. It's all very experimental. I'll know next week. I'd say this is the toughest stage of my life ever. And I just battle on.'
Meanwhile, the presenter's ex-wife recently revealed she went to therapy following her split from the Northern Irish presenter.
The couple, who share son Jack, separated in May 2024 after 14 years of marriage.
Speaking to Rylan Clark on BBC Radio 2, Langsford said: 'I've had counselling and its the best thing I ever did.'
'All the situations and other things have come up and that was through a friend of mine who said, "Would you please maybe think about seeing my counsellor?"

'And she had helped her through a very difficult divorce. And I went, "I don't need to see a counsellor, to tell me I'm sad". She was like, "Honestly it's so much more that that".'
She added: 'Anyway, she pecked my head for so long. Eventually I said yes to shut her up, to be honest. I went, "Fine ok".
'It's the best thing I ever did and I'm still doing it. With your friends they're always on your side really and they will stand by you whatever decisions you make or however you're feeling, they'll hold you up.
'A counsellor is very different, they look at the bigger picture, they don't know you and they never tell you what to do. She's never told me what to do, she's just guided me to think in different ways about things.
'Lots of people have picked up on this saying that she said to me, which was, "Find your light".
'Everything felt so dark and she said, "Just use that energy that your feeling anger and sadness, try and bring that energy here and find your light"'.
