No more please: Nick Jonas heads out of his leaving party after celebrating his final performance in the West End's Les Miserables - but asks the cameras not to snap him getting in his carHe's one third of one of the world's most famous boybands, so it's no wonder that Nick Jonas's love life is slightly complicated.
The 17-year-old singer recently sparked rumours he had started a relationship with his Les Miserables co-star Lucie Jones, before also prompting reports he had developed a close friendship with fellow co-star Samantha Barks.
Last night, at a party for Nick's final West End performance of the show, the singer was spotted leaving the event with Samantha, shortly after Lucie left with friends.
As Nick, dressed casually in a grey shirt and jeans, got into the car outside Covent Garden restaurant Joe Allen, he avoided waiting cameras and asked the paparazzi not to take his picture.
He was more than happy to pose for a shot or two outside as he signed autographs and had his picture taken with a couple of fans.
But as he made his way into a waiting car, he held his hand out and asked the photographers to stop.
That's your lot: Nick sticks his thumbs up to the cameras as his Les Miserables co-star Samantha Barks sat sullen-faced in the back of his carBut one canny photographer carried on snapping and the reason for Nick not wanting any more photos being taken became clear - his co-star Samantha Barks was sitting in the back seat.
Nick and Samantha have been spotted out together on a number of occasions since he started his stint in the show on June 22.
Earlier this month they were snapped leaving the show together as Nick kept his head down to hide from the photographers waiting outside.

Your carriage awaits! Lucie giggles with delight as she and a friend jump into a rickshaw after the partyReports of a relationship between the pair come after Nick was also linked to former X Factor star Lucie Jones after they enjoyed a fun-filled day at Thorpe Park together earlier this month.
And Lucie seemed happy to be spending time with Nick ahead of his return to the U.S., leaving the party in good spirits - despite being dressed in a somewhat bizarre combination of black and pink prom-style Lipsy dress and pink lace leggings.
She happily posed for pictures and even generously gave a cigarette to a fan as she left the restaurant before getting into a rickshaw with a friend.
