She only broke up with her long-term boyfriend Danny O’Reilly just before Christmas.

But MTV presenter Laura Whitmore has been getting over her heartbreak with a night out on the tiles with One Direction hearthrob Niall Horan.

The Irish stars headed to the Electric Ballroom in Camden on Monday night to watch The Vaccines perform and jumped into a taxi together at the end of the night.

Getting on like a house on fire, the 27-year-old presenter joined up with the pop megastar inside the north London venue and left with him and a group of pals to carry on the party elsewhere.

Laura is a fixture on the London party scene and doesn't seem to be letting her split form long-term boyfriend Danny, from band The Coronas, get her down as she seemed to be having a whale of a time with the 19-year-old One Direction star.

Clearly trying to keep a low profile, Niall wrapped up in a huge green coat, with the hood pulled down low over his face to try and hide his identity.

The star looked casual for his night out in London in a pair of blue jeans and white high top trainers, adding a red baseball cap under his hood.

His companion Laura looked a little more dressed up for their night out, in a pair of skin-tight black jeans and towering black wedge shoes.

The Irish presenter, who's recently been co-hosting I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! NOW!, showed off her toned stomach in a midriff-baring top and added a short leather jacket over the top.

She wore her blonde hair long and naturally wavy over her shoulders and seemed in great spirits as she left the venue with a smile on her face.

Beaming after the gig, which also had Irish band Kodaline on the line-up, Laura and Niall hopped into the back of a black cab together, along with a group of other friends.

On Friday, she took to Twitter to reassure fans their relationship was strictly platonic.

She tweeted: 'Niall is my lil brother from another mother, RELAX one direction fans. You honestly have NOTHING to worry about x.'

Although Laura split from her long-term boyfriend late last year, it seems that the pair are still good friends after she jetted back to Ireland to be at his gig the week before Christmas.
