They've become good friends since Amy Childs signed to Peter Andre's management company late last year.
So it no surprise to see the former Only Way Is Essex star lending her support to Andre as he made his West End debut for a one off appearance in Ghost: The Musical.
The father-of-two joined the production's actual star Caissie Levy (Molly) to perform the famous pottery wheel scene.

Support: Amy Childs, who shares the same management as Andre, was there to watch him
Andre took to the stage at the Piccadilly Theatre, taking over the role of the ghost Sam, famously portrayed by the late Patrick Swayze in the 1990 film of the same name.
The iconic scene takes place against the backdrop of the Righteous Brothers' Unchained Melody, which also appears in the musical.
His appearance meant the musical's actual Sam - former Coronation Street actor Richard Fleeshman - had to take a back seat.
Speaking ahead of the show, he said: 'They asked me if I would be a part of it by doing that famous clay scene and I was like, "Patrick Swayze, Peter Andre... there's no comparison, are you sure you want me to do this?"

'So I went and rehearsed and I loved it and it is an amazing scene and the whole show is amazing. My pottery skills are shocking - but the great thing is I don't have to do it, I'm a ghost."
The Australian singer was making a one-off cameo at the climax of the show for the Children In Need Pop Goes The Musical fundraiser.
Other stars making one-off appearances this week included Melanie C in We Will Rock You, Stacey Solomon in Wicked and Sugababes in Mamma Mia!
It's been a charitable week for Andre who took part in the BGC Partners charity day on Monday.
A host of celebrities joined global inter-broker dealer BGC to raise money for a host of charities in memory of staff of its sister company, investment bank Cantor Fitzgerald, who died during the 9/11 attacks in New York.
