He may have lost out on the Dancing On Ice trophy but Matt Lapinskas certainly looked like he was a winner in the romance stakes on Tuesday afternoon.

Obviously still giddy from his time in the show, during which the former EastEnders' star relationship disintegrated, Matt and Brianne were seen in a series of passionate embraces as they helped launch the famous Celebrities On Ice tour.

Fans will remember blonde professional skater Brianne having a streamy romance with Coronation Street star Danny Young on the 2010 spin-off tour - they later split.

What goes on tour... Matt Lapinskas and Brianne Delcourt pose up at the launch - both are now single after former EastEnder Matt split from Shona McGarty

Although the pair were just posing up for the cameras onlookers couldn't help observe Matt, 24, and Brianne, 32, being overly tactile with each other - ahead of going away together on tour.

For newly single runner-up Matt, who said his relationship with ex Shobna McGarty was stronger than ever before he started the ITV reality show, looked in his element at the UK tour launch at Ice Bar in central London.

His is not the only relationship to end this series, winner Beth Tweddle, who is also going on the nine arena tour, split from her long-term love financial adviser Steven Cryer. 

Something to tell us? After the final Matt and Brianne shunned the group celebrations and went back to their hotel for pizza

Rumours surround the relationship of Matt and Brianne - who at 32 is eight years his junior

The Olympian later announced she has no plans to compete in the European Championships and is still undecided about Rio 2016 as at 27, Beth is already older than other gymnasts. 

Hosted by Christopher Biggins and starring celebrity skaters: former England rugby captain Kyran Bracken, the Chico, Eastenders' Matt, Welsh rugby star Gareth Thomas, Olympic bronze medalist Beth Tweddle, and the world renowned International Ice Stars.

The tour will also feature Sugababe Heidi Range, X Factor’s Ruth Lorenzo and other surprise guests.

Signed! Beth Tweddle and her partner Dan are also competing on the gruelling seven arena tour

Ready to skate! Beth Tweddle and Gareth Thomas have signed up for the spin off tour, although rugby ace Gareth kept his trainers on for the launch 

The guys...: Just when you thought you had seen the end of Chico - the X Factor drop out is back

A spokesman said: 'This electrifying tour brings you a mix of the very best ice skating professionals courtesy of the world renowned International Ice Stars, some very familiar professional ice skaters and of course the final and main ingredient: The Celebrities.

'Mix them all together with live music, brand new choreography and we have a family packed evening with spectacular skating, death defying aerial acrobats, juggling, circus tricks, singing, audience participation and laughter in abundance for the whole family to enjoy.'

Dancing On Ice is fast getting a reputation for ruining relationships and Shona and Matt's split is one of many - it is not even the first of this year's show.

Here come the girls! Ruth Lorenzo, Beth Tweddle, Brianne Delcourt and Jenna Harrison launch the spin off tour

Beth even has a special Olympic skating tunic made up ready for the tour

Keeping warm! Beth and Dan get cosy... perhaps to distract from the other celebrities who were getting cosy

Coronation Street actress Samia Ghardie split from actor Will Thorpe after she became close to her skating partner - Frenchman Sylvain Longchambon.

He in turn split from Hollyoaks actress Jennifer Metcalfe - who he met on the show.

Olympian Beth Tweddle left her lover Steve Cryer this series.

Coronation Street star Danny Young had a brief affair with Brianne during the Dancing On Ice tour in 2010, they later split.

Closer than ever! Matt and Brianne have made no attempt to hide thier blossoming friendship

Judge Karen Barker also split from her husband Stephen Pickavance and began a relationship with host Christopher Dean.

But fans will remember it was footballer David Seaman who kick started the 'love curse' after leaving his wife Debbie for pro-skater Frankie Poultney - the pair got close during rehearsals for the skating tour.

Imogen, who is the face of weight-loss supplement Slimsticks, has recently spoken out about her shape. 

She told the Daily Star recently: 'I never count calories. I’ve tried every diet but they don’t work.

'As soon as you come off it the weight piles back on. My approach now is to eat little but often.

'I go to the gym four or five times a week and combine that with doing Bikram yoga. I think all girls have issues about their weight. I don't think I'm the only person out there.

It's chico time: Imogen had been treated to a performance by Chico at the skincare brand event
