It was only two months ago they called time on their relationship, blaming their busy work schedules.

But it appears absence has made the heart grow fonder for The Saturdays singer Frankie Sandford and McFly bassist Dougie Poynter as they have decided to give things another try.

Last night, the couple made their first public appearance together since reuniting as they attended the Sony Radio Academy Awards in London.

Sandford, 21, had been invited to present The Sony DAB Rising Star Award to former Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker for his BBC6 Music show and brought along Poynter as her date.

The girl band singer looked stunning in a cream asymmetrical dress, while Poynter, 22, was a bit more laid back in jeans and a navy blazer.

As the couple left the Grosvenor House Hotel together to head back to their North London home, Sandford couldn't stop smiling as she was back at her beau's side.

Sandford, who was voted fourth sexiest woman in the world by FHM magazine, admitted last week they had got back together.

Despite claiming they were 'taking it slow', they have already moved back in together in a flat in Edmonton, North London.

She said: 'I am back with Dougie but we're taking it slow.

'I missed him too much. It's definitely made us realise that what we have together is good.

'We're living together again. It's so nice.'

The pair decided to reunite after an emotional heart-to-heart at the May Fair Hotel three weeks ago.

The brunette beauty was seen crying on a sofa as she was comforted by Poynter.

At the time, she said: 'Will I get back with Dougie? Never say never.

'It was so embarrassing seeing the pictures of me crying the other day. It was the first time I'd seen him since the split, so I was so emotional. I wasn't expecting him to be so sweet, but he was.'

Before their split, the pair had been dating for 20 months and moved in together last summer.

During their time out, Sandford angrily denied rumours linking her to footballer Ashley Cole and JLS singer Aston Merrygold.
