Jack Whitehall and Roxy Horner enjoyed a rare date night as they stepped out together in west London for the opening night of Come Alive! The Greatest Showman Circus Spectacular. The couple, who have been together since 2020 and share one-year-old daughter Elsie, posed happily on the red carpet before being entering the fully immersive experience at the Empress Museum. Horner sported a cropped long-sleeved white shirt paired with black satin trousers and heels for the event.

She wore her blonde locks down and commanded attention with a slick of bold red lipstick. Whitehall meanwhile opted for a black t-shirt and jeans, beige-coloured jacket and white trainers. They, along with other celebrities guests including Sir Ian McKellen , Myleene Klass, Ashley Roberts, Dame Arlene Phillips, Zoe Wanamaker, Ore Oduba and Tom Chambers, were treated to a one-hour pre-show including fortune telling, acrobatic performances and the chance to get a glittery circus makeover.



They then stepped inside the 700-seater Big Top for the circus spectacular set against a soundtrack of songs and music performed live from the Twentieth Century Fox Motion Picture The Greatest Showman, on which it is inspired. The 100-minute show which is currently booking until March 2025, also features aerial stunts, fire eaters and more. Whitehall and Horner’s outing came after model, 33, previously admitted that they don’t get to spend much time together as the 36-year-old comedian and actor’s career continues to go from strength-to-strength, frequently taking him abroad for long stretches of time.

Speaking to The Standard in June, Horner said Whitehall said she had been quite reliant on The Jungle Cruise star following Elsie’s birth by C-section. She said: “He was changing nappies, he did all of that before I could do anything because I couldn’t even walk for the first few days!” “So he was great but he has been away for work quite a bit since then which is definitely a struggle for me.” She added: “It feels like I’m on my own quite a lot, but when he’s around he’s fabulous.

We call him every day, we Facetime him every day. Thank god for technology, hey!” Thankfully, they have a supportive network around them, including both of their mums. She said: “We don’t have a daytime nanny or anything so she just comes to work with me and I just bring my mum.

It’s quite a juggle, but I’m loving it; loving the new life,” she said. Jack’s mum comes over every week when she’s around, it’s lovely. So I’ve got the support of both of Elsie’s grandparents which is super important.

I know a lot of people don’t have that help and it must be such a struggle so I feel very blessed.”.
