joined girlfriend Rachel Mariam at British Vogue and 's pre- Television Awards at the Dovetale at 1 Hotel Mayfair in London on Sunday. 

The  star, 54, cut a dashing figure in a brown suede suit which boasted a quirky belted blazer and was worn over a dark T-shirt.

While French actress Rachel, 31,  

The couple, who have been dating since 2020, put on a loved-up display as they cosied up on the star-studded red carpet. 

Meanwhile its joyous news for Freeman's ex  and her fiancé, former stuntman and escapologist , as he finally settled his legal action against the makers of .

Freeman and the former star, 52, were together for 16 years before splitting in 2016, together they share son Joe, 19, and son Grace, 16. 

Goodwin was left paralysed and nearly .

He launched a legal action against makers Fremantle and the broadcaster NBCU in 2023.

The action has now been dismissed 'with prejudice' – meaning it cannot come to court again – but lawyers for all sides signed off on an agreement last month.

Details are confidential; however sources tell me Goodwin will have been offered 'many millions' in compensation for the accident which ended his career and almost killed him. The money will also pay for his ongoing medical and social needs.

Abbington said at the time: 'He fell 30ft and lost a kidney, broke both shoulder blades, shattered both legs. [He got] third-degree burns, broke his spine and severed his spinal cord and nearly died. And then on the operating table, he nearly died again.'

He and actress Amanda  His legal action in 2023 coincided with her unhappy time on Strictly Come Dancing, when she claimed she was bullied by pro dancer Giovanni Pernice. 

The Italian has always denied wrongdoing and some of her complaints were not upheld by the BBC, although some were.

In an interview last year she said that she and Goodwin had hoped to marry in 2025 but were putting that off until the litigation was over.

Nicole Anderson, a lawyer for Goodwin, said: 'The terms of any resolution are confidential, and neither we nor our client are able to provide any further comment.'

Lawyers for NBCU and Fremantle did not respond to requests for comment. Goodwin, 46, was a Britain's Got Talent finalist in 2019. For the stunt on the 'Extreme' version of the American show two years later he was strapped into a straitjacket and suspended 70ft above the ground – upside down – while two cars swung back and forth on either side of him.

Footage shows him trying to propel himself back up the rope just before the cars collide but it snapped, leaving him trapped between the vehicles. He then fell, missing a safety mattress and suffering broken bones and burns.

The Welshman filed his lawsuit at the Los Angeles Superior Court in October 2023. His lawyer Stuart Fraenkel said at the time: 'This is yet another example of the entertainment industry putting profits and ratings before safety. 

'Jonathan will be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life because there were inadequate safety practices in place to protect him. He hopes that by bringing this claim, lessons will be learned, changes will be made and others will not be exposed to unnecessary risks and danger.'

Goodwin has since started a new career as a hypnotherapist.

Last year she reflected: 'It's been a weird ten years. 'We're definitely on the rollercoaster. I was very close to having a breakdown because of the constant barrage of abuse [over Strictly]. Jonathan was amazing. My friends were amazing. My kids were wonderful, though I was trying to shield them from it.'
