She performed her best moves: Katie danced a storm alongside Matty in the venue
A spokesman for Katie Price told MailOnine: “They are just friends and not romantically involved.”
Heavily tattooed Katie and Matty stayed at the bar until closing before taking a rickshaw to nearby Balans restaurant, but they were unable to go inside.
The mother-of-five wore a gray JYY London tracksuit for the night and was holding a variety of Selfridges bags, suggesting the night was spontaneous.

She recently underwent her 16th breast augmentation surgery in Belgium and chose 2120 CC implants to increase her already large bust size.
Katie recently said men are associated with the most difficult times in their lives, describing her ex-boyfriends as her “downfall”.
Along with her split from Carl, 33, she is currently going through a difficult time with her former flame Kieran Hayler, 35, after he was approached by police over their long-running dispute.

And Katie claims the toughest times in her life are all linked to the men who have been in her life before.
She told the Sunday Times: “It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that men are the downfall in my life. A million percent.
“All my dramas, my bankruptcy – all are men. Always men. That’s it. Seeing exes boast and knowing you paid for stuff is the worst torture for me.

“My triggers when things go downhill are men.”
However, the former Celebrity Big Brother winner insists she no longer needs “validation” from her partners.
Katie shared a post on social media this week which read: “It felt normal to me to be easygoing, comfortable and in a constant state of pleasing people.
“I could be a nice person and feel selfless.”
Katie confirmed she had split from her former on-off fiancé earlier this month when she reportedly said she was single on a night out in London.
Meanwhile, Matty Lee has revealed that he has a history of being straight and has a close friendship with his dive buddy Tom Daley.
He said last year that Tom is his guru for advice, telling ITV: “He gives me advice on everything, whether it’s relationships or whatever – I always ask Tom.”
Katie Price’s Real Husbands
In the decades since she first rose to fame, Katie Price has enjoyed – and most likely endured – a decidedly busy love life, walking down the aisle three times before equally going to divorce court. Here’s a look at the trio with whom she exchanged ‘I dos’… and ‘I don’ts’:
PETER ANDRE (2005 – 2009)
The nation watched as love blossomed between the two when they starred side by side in 2004’s I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here. Sparks flying soon turned into a wedding, with blushing bride Katie and her one-time pop hunk beauty tying the knot in September 2005 at Highclere Castle (the grand estate of Downton Abbey in Berkshire). Katie, who was already a mother to son Harvey (born in 2002 after a romance with former footballer Dwight Yorke), soon started a family with her new husband. The couple welcomed son Junior in 2005, while daughter Princess followed in 2007. Creation between the two also came artistically, with the release of reality programs, a failed talk show and a foray into the music world. However, after four years of securing their position as the Ken and Barbie of reality TV and glossy magazine deals, the two announced in 2009 that they were going their separate ways.
ALEX REID (2010 – 2012)
Katie soon switched her romantic allegiances from once-pop heartthrob with abs to muscle-bound MMA fighter Alex Reid. The two met at Michelle Heaton’s 30th birthday party at London’s Cafe de Paris. But shortly after they got together, Katie dumped Alex on live TV, only for him to win her back and the pair continued to grow stronger. Weeks after Katie proudly cheered her husband on to a win at the 2010 edition of Celebrity Big Brother (also with her ex-boyfriend Dane Bowers), Katie flew to Las Vegas to tie the knot with her new partner in February 2010 just seven months together — and nine months after divorcing Peter. After their stay in Sin City, the two returned to their native United Kingdom, where they held a formal ceremony that was filmed for a television series. However, after just 11 months of marriage, the two announced they were separating, and their divorce was finalized in March 2012. While Katie explained at the time that she married Alex “too soon,” she later revealed that a major factor in their split was his cross-dressing alter ego, Roxanne.
KIERAN HAYLER (2013 – 2021)
Showing herself as a real woman of the time, Katie began a romance with former stripper Kieran after the two met in 2012 through the now-defunct Blackberry Messenger service. And just two months after she overheard their lives via those thumb-fate opening messages, the pair exchanged weddings in the Caribbean. Kieran proposed to a smitten Katie on Christmas Day 2012, and just three weeks later the couple were declared husband and wife on January 16, 2013 on the idyllic shores of the Bahamas. Their marriage was blessed at Weston-super Mare In the months that followed, Katie seemed to have finally found her happy and content. They welcomed son Jett in August 2013 and daughter Bunny in August 2014. But Katie’s world fell apart in 2014 when she discovered Kieran had been cheating on her with her 20-year-old close friend Jane Pountney and was enjoying an affair with another of her pals, Chrissie Thomas. After publicly lashing out at everyone involved (and naming her pet pigs after their friends-turned-enemies), Katie seemed determined to make things work when she renewed her vows with Kieran in 2015. But sadly, it wouldn’t turn out to be third time happiness for Katie as the couple split in 2018 amid even more cheating allegations. Their “amicable” divorce was finalized in early 2021.
