Hayden Panettiere has fuelled rumours that she’s dating former T4 presenter Steve Jones after they were spotted on a yacht together in Cannes.

The pair were first linked in London last week after they were spotted out in the same group at Nobu Berkeley and have now seemingly confirmed their romance when they were photographed sunbathing together on David Furnish’s yacht on the French Riviera.

An onlooker observed: “They looked very happy together.

“Hayden was constantly laughing at his jokes and he kept staring at her and smiling when she wasn’t looking.”

If the rumours are true, it looks like nineteen year old Hayden has a thing for older men: at 32, Steve is 13 years old than her and her last boyfriend was her 31 year old Heroes co-star Milo Ventimiglia. TV presenter Steve has previously been linked to older partners too: he’s said to have had flings with Halle Berry, Pamela Anderson and Angelina Jolie. He was most recently linked to fellow TV presenter Fearne Cotton.
