Kerry Katona packed on the PDA with her ‘soulmate’ toyboy boyfriend Paolo Margaglione at The Trauma Research Charity event in Manchester on Saturday.
The Atomic Kitten star, 45, met the 33-year-old on Celebs Go Dating earlier this summer.
And while she arrived on the red carpet, she proved her romance with Paolo is still thriving as they shared a cheeky kiss.
In the picture, Paolo scooped Kerry into his arms and leaned her back for a peck after they posed for a camera.
For the outing, Kerry looked incredible as she wore a wite, off-the-shoulder dress which featured lace detailing.
She added inches to her frame as she slipped into a pair of towering silver stilettos and accessorised her look with a chunky watch and a silver necklace.

Meanwhile, Paolo stepped out in a black tuxedo, layered over a crisp white shirt a black bowtie.
Kerry has recently shut down a troll who branded her new boyfriend a ‘fame-hungry red flag’ and said their 12-year age gap ‘doesn’t bother’ her.
She hit back at a critic online after they went in on her new love interest, influencer Paolo whom she met on the dating show.
They seemed to hit it off quickly on the E4 dating show, and she described him as ‘amazing’ following her split from Ryan Mahoney last November.
During an Instagram video in September, Kerry and Paolo, who is a father of two, answered questions about their new relationship.
One of the questions said that Paolo was only with Kerry for the fame which Kerry quickly shut it down, claiming her new man is ‘supportive’.
She said: ‘If anything, he’s been more supportive of me because I’m the one who has struggled with it more than anything.
‘When people see the connection we have together and how we are, they understand it’s not about anything other than that.’

She was later asked about him being 12 years her junior, but admitted that it’s not an issue for her.
‘No, it doesn’t bother me anymore, you’re only as old as the man you’re feeling,’ she shared.
Paolo added: ‘I second that, sorry Heidi.’
Kerry has become a step-mother to Paolo’s kids, which is a role she has taken on so easily.
On the video, she explained: ‘It’s great. It’s brought the house alive. You and your kids have brought the best of us out.
‘I’ve never been this happy ever in my entire life. I’ve got everything and more I’ve ever wanted.’
He gushed back: ‘I feel exactly the same.’
She also recently gushed about her ‘unbelievable’ sex life with him.
She told The Sun:Â ‘Oh, it’s f****** unbelievable. Honestly, even now I get stuck with words!’
Kerry continued:Â ‘Whether this works out or not, how I feel right now, I can’t deny these feelings.
‘I’ve never felt giddiness and my hands shake, it really excites me.’
