The moment Laura and Leo got close: ITV presenter joined star in hotel suite until 5am

Exclusive: Encounter follows night of partying as Leo celebrated his Best Actor win

LEONARDO DiCaprio took ITV presenter Laura Whitmore back to his hotel suite after a wild night celebrating his Bafta win.

The 41-year-old, who won for his role in The Revenant, plucked the I’m A Celebrity presenter out of a group of women vying for his attention at an after-party at London’s Rosewood Hotel.

An onlooker said: “Leonardo was completely taken by Laura. She was playing it cool but he made a beeline for her and they instantly started flirting.

“She loved the attention and they were all over each other, getting on like a house on fire.

“Leo made it clear he wanted her to come back upstairs to his suite at the hotel to continue the party afterwards.”

Irish Laura, 30, followed the superstar to his suite with a close group of pals at 3.30am where the party continued. A partygoer revealed: “He was all over Laura until after 5am.

“At one point he held her face in his hand.”

Also vying for Leo’s attention was British model Lily Donaldson, 29. A party source added: “Leo was all over Lily too.”

Laura was an official red carpet host for EE at the event.
