Meanwhile, Strictly Come Dancing’s Bobby Brazier appeared to be enjoying himself as he spent time with his co-stars from the show.
He could be seen laughing and smiling having stopped by at the TV Choice Awards which were also being held in the hotel that evening.

Angela completed the Strictly tour but suffered a health blow towards the end when a ‘serious asthma attack’ caused her to stop breathing.
In an Instagram post earlier this month, she said she had been dancing on stage in Liverpool on Wednesday night when she suffered the ‘major medical meltdown’.
After receiving treatment from paramedics on site, she explained that she could breathe again but was prescribed two days of bed rest by the doctor, causing her to miss shows in Leeds.
Angela confirmed she was ‘dancing fit’ again and rejoined the tour at Manchester’s AO Arena with her dance partner Kai.
She said: ‘Hello everyone, I’m afraid I’ve been off the grid for a couple of days because, as some of you may know, I suffered a major medical meltdown at the beginning of the week.

‘When we were in Liverpool I managed to pick up an infection which went straight to my chest.
‘It affected my breathing very badly and, as some of you may know, I do suffer from asthma.
‘And on Wednesday evening, when I was about to go on and dance the Cha Cha Cha, I’m afraid the infection triggered a serious asthma attack and when I started to dance, I stopped breathing basically.
‘Which was all a bit scary, not just for me, but for Kai as well because I was a bit like a rag doll on the dance floor – sorry Liverpool.
‘And I think Kai wasn’t really quite sure what was happening but, fortunately, we always had paramedics in the arenas when we perform and when I came off they gave me oxygen so I was able to breathe again, and also make the trip to Leeds.’
She explained that once she got to Leeds, the company doctor told her the infection was ‘a lot worse’ than she had first thought and requested she rest and prescribed ‘a very impressive regime of medication’.
Following the treatment, she is back on her feet, adding: ‘I can’t say I’m fighting fit, but I’m certainly dancing fit so I’m ready to start ripping up the dance floor again on the tour, starting right here tonight in Manchester.’
The broadcaster also thanked everyone who sent her ‘wonderful messages’, noting that she feels the support and medication have ‘worked their magic’.
