The Strictly professional was seen wearing a beige suit as he leaned into Kym, planted a kiss on her cheek and hugged her.

Kym looked as stylish as ever for the event in a purple dress as she chatted to the dancing star.

Both Graziano and Kym were all smiles as they caught up at the star-studded bash.

Graziano was joined by his current Strictly partner Zara McDermott, just one night after they competed against each other on the iconic BBC show.

A source previously said of the former dancing couple: “Kym and Graziano have had an unbreakable bond since leaving Strictly.

“They are like peas in a pod and get along so well. Graziano sees Kym as a big sister and one of his best friends.

“They have the same sense of humor and enjoy each other’s company, whether on the phone or going out.

“Graziano is currently in the UK and has said he will support Kym in everything.

“He thinks she’s an incredible woman, inside and out.”

Kym also met Graziano’s wife Giada Lini, a professional singer on the Italian version of Strictly, Dancing with the Stars.

Speaking about her friendship with Graziano earlier this year, Kym said: “I have a friend for life in Graziano. I adore this man, I really do.

“You can’t work that closely with someone without having a friendship. He’s just wonderful.”

Last night, Graziano and Zara survived the dance-off against Nikita Kanda.

BBC radio DJ Nikita Kanda came second celebrity Leaving Strictly Come Dancing after all four judges voted to save Zara and Graziano.

Nikita and pro partner Gorka Marquez closed the show last night with the Dirty Dancing classic “The time of My Life” (which I had).
