They have denied anything is going on between them, but Arctic Monkey's frontman Alex Turner and gorgeous T4 presenter Alexa Chung have a lot to explain after last night.

The pair were all over each other as they celebrated his band scooping the Best Band In The World Today gong at the Q Awards.

Monkey business? T4 presenter Alexa Chung leaves the Met Bar with Arctic Monkey's frontman Alex Turner this morning

They snogged the faces of each other at the Met Bar before heading to Bungalow 8 in St Martin's Lane, where Alexa straddled Alex in a steamy clinch.

The day began early, with the Monkeys collecting their award at the ceremony at the Grosvenor House Hotel in Park Lane.

While the other lads - Jamie Cook, Matt Helders and Nick O'Malley - celebrated with a no expense spared feast of sushi at Nobu.

But Alex sneaked off to meet Alexa, and they all hooked up at the Met Bar at around 11pm.

The couple have previously denied they are an item but blew their cover last night when they were locked in a steamy clinch on the dancefloor

A source said: "It was a long day at the awards, and the boys wanted to recharge their batteries and have a slap-up meal at Nobu, which was just down the road from the awards.

"But they couldn't convince Alex to come with them - he was intent on meeting Alexa.

"They walked into the bar together holding hands, and didn't seem to care who saw them together.

"No sooner had they bought a round of vodkas, they were snogging in the dancefloor - right in the middle of the club.

"She seemed totally smitten by him, and was laughing at his jokes and stroking his hair.

"They looked like they really care for each other."

The Arctics then headed for posh members club Bungalow 8, where they set up camp around a table in the corner.

The source added: "When they thought they had a bit more privacy, Alexa was all over Alex.

She was straddling him in the corner and they couldn't seem to get enough of each other."

Alex first pulled Alexa at T In The Park in July, but Alexa laughed off the claims and denied anything was going on.

She'll have more trouble denying this one.

Meanwhile, Kelly Osbourne, who would probably class herself as a hardcore drinker was spectacularly outgunned when it came to drinking with the rest of the Arctic Monkeys last night.

Kelly joined the Monkeys on the town after performing onstage in Chicago

The 23-year-old daughter of Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne even had at least 10 hours of drinking grace, as she didn't join the Sheffield rockers until 11pm when she had finished treading the boards of her West End show, Chicago.

She left the Cambridge theatre with a long-haired mystery man before joining the Monkeys at the Met bar, where they were celebrating winning the prize for the Best Act in the World Today.

After knocking back a few vodkas, she left the trendy Park Lane bar with three out of four of the band, including bassist Nick O'Malley and guitarist Jamie Cook.

They were earlier turned away from the official afterparty at Leicester Square's Cafe de Paris, but thankfully they had more luck at trendy new hangout, Bungalow 8.

The gang all turned up to continue their boozing, but after just 33 minutes, it was bedtime for Kelly.

It just shows you have to be a real animal to keep up with the Arctic Monkeys.
