The source said: "Katie and Sean had been getting close all night. They were huddled in a corner at the after-party.

"They kissed passionately and didn’t mind who was watching. They were all over each other."

This comes only weeks after Katie split from her salesman boyfriend Benji whom she had been in a relationship with since June 2017.
