Lily and Chris were pictured leaving the exclusive private members’ club together, with the actress leading the way out of the door with Chris following closely behind to the same black cab.
They arrived back to the hotel just after 1am but left the taxi separately, with Chris heading to the main entrance and Lily, who lives in north London, to another door around the back.
Chris, looking dapper in all black, was forced to wait for a masked member of staff to unlock the door to the plush hotel.

It was recently reported that Lily had rekindled her romance with Matt Smith, 37, during lockdown, after they were thought to have split in December.
The couple had been dating for five years but reportedly went their separate ways due to her discomfort over his ‘friendship with female stars.’
A source told The Sun: ‘Matt and Lily’s break-up was mostly because their hectic schedules meant they could barely see each other. They kept the house together when they split because they were both barely around. But when lockdown began, they ended up isolating together.

‘Being in the house and having no work and distractions has allowed them to reconnect and get back to a good place.

‘It’s what their friends had all hoped would happen because they do make each other so happy and their split happened because they were just too busy to see each other.’
