Hayden Panettiere and Steve Jones have been pictured sunbathing together on a yacht in the South of France.

The pair, who are said to be dating, soaked up the rays on the deck of the boat, which has moored in port for the Cannes Film Festival.

Hayden, 19, showed of her figure in a turquoise bikini, while the T4 presenter, 32, concealed his beneath a grey vest.

The pair sparked rumours of romance after they were spotted dinner together in London last week.

Hayden and Steve are believed to be staying on the yacht, which according to the Daily Mail is owned by Elton John’s husband David Furnish.

Steve has remained single since his split from TV presenter Fearne Cotton in November, while Hayden ended her relationship with Heroes co-star Milo Ventimiglia in February.

At the time, it was reported that the romance between the actors had ended because of their age difference.
