Sad Chanelle watches her ex Ziggy take home EastEnders star Kara Tointon

Former Big Brother contestant Ziggy Lichman certainly appeared rather pleased with himself last night as he left a star studded party with EastEnders star Kara Tointon in tow.

But there's little doubt the public pairing left one person reeling - his ex Chanelle Hayes, who was also at the same event.Ziggy, 27, who split with the Posh look alike last year after an ill-fated reality TV romance, was spotted making a late night exit from London's Renaissance Chancery Court hotel with the attractive soap star.

They had spent the night rubbing shoulders with a host of stars, including Spice Girl Emma Bunton and even the Prime Minister Gordon Brown.

Kara, 24, dressed in a figure hugging red frock, appeared rather coy, covering her face as they headed off in the back of a cab.The actress has been single since ending an 18-month romance with former co-star James Alexandrou in November last year.

The model's date was nowhere in sight as she piled into a cab with the former Big Brother contestant at 4am after a night of partying.But if romance was in the air there was one minor hitch - Ziggy and Charlotte were not alone.

They were joined in the cab by Ziggy's former housemates Liam McGough and twins Sam and Amanda Marchant.

The 26-year-old male model appears to be making the most of his bachelorhood following break up with former Big Brother contestant Chanelle Hayes last year.
