Rav Wilding appeared deep in thought as he stepped out after his new romance with Rebecca Mason was revealed.
The BBC Morning Live presenter, 46, was potentially waiting for a call from his new love as he was spotted clutching his mobile while leaving the TV studios in Manchester on Thursday.
Rav - who announced on Instagram in April that he and his estranged TV producer wife secretly separated last year after 12 years together - seemed in good spirits on the outing.
He was casually clad after his appearance on the daytime show, dressed in a plain white T-shirt with black jeans.
Earlier in the morning, Rav was part of the panel discussing the topics of the day on Thursday but his new relationship with Rebecca wasn't mentioned.
He was joined on the panel by Dr Ranj Singh, TV presenter Rebecca Wilcox and DJ Tony Blackburn.

Rav and Surrey Police detective Rebecca have posted a slew of cosy snaps on their Instagram accounts together at weddings, inside the studio, dinner dates and car journeys.
According to The Sun, Rav and Rebecca first met in 2020 when Jill was pregnant with their daughter Poppy.
A source told the publication: 'They actually first worked together years ago when he was presenting Ill Gotten Gains and they've got the same agent too.
'The whole team at Morning Live know they're together, especially since Rav and Rebecca went to Michelle Ackerley's hen do a month or so ago.
'All of their colleagues are happy for them. The producers and other experts have commented on a few of their posts saying how they make a great couple.'
Rebecca often appears on Morning Live to speak about online romance fraud and scams.
Addressing his marital split from Jill in April, Rav wrote on Instagram: 'For those asking questions... myself and @jillmorganx amicably separated last year.
'Our focus is co-parenting our hugely loved and beautiful daughter.'

The couple tied the knot in May 2017 in Barbados, and went on to welcome three-year-old daughter Poppy.
Jill is a television producer, who has worked on Loose Women, Top Gear and Children In Need.
Rav proposed to her after only seven months of dating in 2012 while on holiday in the Caribbean.
A month before he popped the question, he gushed about their future, saying: 'It is early days for us but I'm very happy. I would like kids in the future, yeah. We'll just have to see what happens.'
They were forced to cancel their nuptials however, after Rav sustained an injury while training for Splash! in December 2013.
The former soldier underwent surgery after snapping the hamstring tendons in his left leg during a somersault dive for the now defunct ITV diving show.
His injuries meant he did not appear on the show, fronted by Tom Daley, and he later sued the producers, claiming his career was derailed as a result.
Rav and Jill had been due to have their wedding in the summer of 2015 but were forced to postpone, with Rav saying: 'It breaks my heart that Jill and I had to cancel our wedding.
'She has been so supportive during this whole ordeal and all I want to do is show my commitment to her, and even that's been taken away. It's on hold indefinitely at the moment until we can get back on track.’
In November 2019, he announced that they were expecting their first child together in a post on social media which read: 'We have some exciting news!
