Joe Calzaghe's ex puts on brave face after love KO
By Max Thurlow, London Lite Last updated at 13:30pm on 07.09.09The ex-lover of boxer Joe Calzaghe put on a brave face as she stepped out in London at the weekend.
Letting her hair down: Jo-Emma Larvin leaves The Mayfair Club
The 28-year-old glamour girl not only managed to enjoy herself but even got a bit flirty with one of the punters at The Mayfair Club.
Jo-Emma Larvin recently split up with boxer Joe, 37, and was reportedly “devastated” when she heard he was getting close to his Strictly Come Dancing partner Kristina Rihanoff, 31.
Tongues have started wagging on the Strictly set before the show has even started after Joe and Kristina were pictured looking cosy while training in his native Wales. They were snapped hugging and holding hands.
But Jo-Emma looks like she's moving on after letting her hair down on Saturday night. Our source said: “She was overheard saying she felt completely gutted by Joe, but seemed determined to have a good night. She arrived at The Mayfair Club around midnight and immediately sat next to a good-looking guy. The table was laden with vodka, and the guy looked like a better-looking version of Mat Horne.”
Sorry Mat, that's what our spy said, adding: “They were clearly having a brilliant time together, but Jo-Emma left with a gal pal at around 1.30am.”
Earlier in the night Jo-Emma, wearing a sparkling dress, ate at nearby restaurant Cipriani. Her split from the boxer last month was blamed on a series of rows. They had been together for five years.
Cosy: Joe Calzaghe and Kristina Rihanoff
Only weeks ago, Calzaghe declared that if he ever turned up on a reality TV show “you can shoot me in the head”.
But he changed his mind and signed up to the hit BBC show, making him 5-1 favourite to win at Ladbrokes.
He's not the only one who may have fallen into the “getting close to your Strictly partner” trap. Last week, contestant Natalie Cassidy, aka Sonia from EastEnders, was caught off-guard kissing her partner Vincent Simone. Maybe they should change the name to Strictly Come Dalliancing!
