'The Only Way Is Essex' star and 'Coronation Street' actor sparked rumours they'd hooked up at the glitzy ceremony, held at London's O2 Arena, after they were pictured leaving a celebratory bash in the capital a little too close for comfort.
A witness told The Sun Online the pair looked "very close" and "extremely friendly" when they broke away from the crowd and relaxed together near the smoking area.
And it's thought 31-year-old Jess - who attended the awards with her mum and dad Carol and Mark - was introduced to the 33-year-old actor earlier on in the night through her sister-in-law and ex-'Corrie' actress Michelle Keegan and the pair hit it off.
The brunette beauty is reportedly keen to settle down and won't waste time with anyone who isn't "worth it".
Another insider told the publication: "Jess has been single for a long time because she's waiting for the perfect romance. She takes her love life very seriously and wouldn't waste her time with anyone who wasn't worth it."
And Jess could be just the right woman for Bruno - who has a nine-year-old son called Freddie with his ex Victoria Roscoe - as he's struggled to find love because girls think they're dating his on-screen character Todd.
He said: "It's tough anyway for everyone but this just makes it tougher. You have to use your initiative when it comes to knowing who to trust. I went on this date, she was a really pretty girl, she sat down and the first thing she said was, 'I'm such a big fan of Corrie'. I couldn't believe it, that's it, it was finished because she thinks I'm someone else, she thinks she's dating Todd. It's tough."
