The happy couple couldn't resist leaning in for a passionate kiss as they went on a romantic lunch date in upmarket Notting Hill.
Rachel, 29, and Pasha, 35, looked very much in love as they locked lips for a major PDA session.
Seemingly unable to get enough of her beau, the Countdown beauty held the back of the professional dancer's head to pull him closer.
When they were finished making out, the pair enjoyed a spot of shopping in the capital.

Rachel and Pasha first announced their romance last summer
Rachel and Pasha first met in 2014, when they were partnered together on Strictly Come Dancing.
Despite rumours they had hit it off on the show, the couple didn't confirm their romance until last summer, after Rachel separated from her husband Jamie Gilbert.
Professional dancer Pasha recently told Express.co.uk he is "having a good time" with beauty Rachel.
"Rachel and I are dating and are having a good time together. We travel together and take a break together when we have a chance," he said.

"She's very busy and I'm very busy so we're enjoying that little time we can get together as much as we can."
TV star Rachel previously gushed about Pasha, saying: "He’s very sweet – a lovely, old-school gentleman. It’s the Russian way. He’ll carry things, open the door, bring me flowers and chocolates."
She added: "But I just love being with him, the presents are a bonus."
