Rachel Riley and Pasha Kovalev get steamy on the street after supporting Strictly Come Dancing pal

Rachel Riley and her husband Pasha Kovalev were spotted embracing outside a theatre in London over the weekend, with the couple having enjoyed a date night out together.

The presenter, 38, and professional dancer Pasha, 44, were at the London Palladium in the West End on Saturday. The pair showed support for the latter's former Strictly Come Dancing colleague Johannes Radebe, 37, at his new tour, House of Jojo, with them having been in the audience for it.

The couple were photographed in the venue and were later spotted leaving together. Photos show Rachel and Pasha - who began their romance after being partnered together on the BBC show back in 2013 - cosying up on a street.

They were seen walking hand-in-hand following the event. The pair were also seen kissing, with one photo showing them embraced in a kiss whilst stood together on the pavement after leaving the venue. Countdown co-host Rachel is seen with her hand close to her husband's neck, whilst Pasha wrapped his arms around her waist. Another photo from Saturday night shows him having leaned back to kiss his wife as they stood beside each other.

Rachel had opted to wear a pink ombré dress for the occasion. She accessorised with a cream handbag and decided to wear a pair of silver heels, with her outfit having been showcased in photos of them inside the venue. She later wrapped up in a coat and changed into some sandals.

Pasha - who was a dancer on Strictly from 2011 until his departure in 2018 - instead chose to model a white t-shirt alongside a black jacket and matching trousers. His outfit also included a pair of black shoes for the pair's night out.

It's been more than a decade since Rachel and Pasha were partnered together for Strictly Come Dancing. They were the fifth pair to be voted out of the eleventh series, which aired in 2013, after losing a dance-off to Abbey Clancy and Aljaž Škorjanec, who ended up winning the BBC show.

Rachel and Pasha are understood to have began a romance after working together, with the couple eventually getting married in 2019. They now have two children together, with them parents to Maven, four, and Noa, two.

The couple appeared to enjoy a date night together on Saturday as part of pal Johannes' the House of Jojo tour. A synopsis teases for the ongoing tour, which launched at the London Palladium, promises "a theatrical celebration".

It states: "Join [Johannes] and a host of eclectic characters in this brand-new theatrical celebration jam-packed with roof-raising music, dazzling costumes and of course, world class dance. The doors to the HOUSE OF JOJO are open – and you are invited."
