Single and ready to mingle: The Only Way Is Essex star Charlie King cosies up to a mystery blonde outside Aura in London last night

A week after splitting from Gemma Collins after a brief romance, it looks like Charlie King is embracing his newfound single status.

Out with some of his The Only Way Is Essex co-stars last night, the reality star looked like he was enjoying the attention from female revellers.

Spotted outside Aura nightclub in London's Mayfair last night, Charlie looked in his element surrounded by his female friends.

And while he didn't mention any of his female friends, he looked like he was enjoying his first night out as a single man since leaping to fame in the fourth series of TOWIE in February.

He tweeted at 4am this morning: 'Home from a night out in Aura - soooo tired now and the birds are singing already #NOOOooooooo.'

King, 27, was out at Aura's 'Celebrity Wednesday' night alongside co-stars Mario Falcone, Joey Essex and James 'Diags' Bennewith.

Accompanying the gang was Geordie Shore star Gary 'Gaz' Beadle'.

Ahead of his night out, Joey was unamused to discover his flatmate Tom Pearce had borrowed his swimming trunks in Marbella.

Joey tweeted him: 'Why have u gone thru my draws and nicked my trunks. Right that's it... Get ur stuff and do 1!!! BARE OUT OF ORDER!! Lol. Say say.'

Charlie called time on his two month romance with TOWIE co-star Gemma Collins in an episode last week.

Although he was upset after finding out she had been 'sexting' Ricky Rayment, he admitted there was no sexual chemistry between the pair.

In Sunday's episode of TOWIE, the pair were seen burying the hatchet and agreeing to be friends.
