The pair, who both use celebrity dating app Raya, were spotted together at the Lido Festival in East London throughout Saturday.
They shunned VIP areas to watch artists together, including Charli XCX.
An eyewitness told The Sun: 'Lily and James appeared to be on a date. They were together for the day and were chatting and laughing together as they watched Charli XCX.
'Lily was leaning into him at one point. She and James seemed really relaxed together and she was really making him giggle.
'They were drinking non-alcoholic beer and queued at the bar like all the other punters. People were doing double-takes when they saw them together.
'Because they're both on Raya it seems like they might have matched with each other.
'And Lido is a great first date because there is so much to do.'
Pop star Lily split from her Stranger Things actor husband David Harbour, 50, last year.
The mum of two reactivated her Raya account after the break-up. She joked in her profile that she was 'looking for someone to start couple's therapy with'.
Happy Valley star James briefly dated model Charlotte Rose Smith, 25, but they quietly ended their romance this year. Last month his profile was also spotted on Raya, with a handful of pictures.

James was engaged to actress Imogen Poots, 36, but the pair split in 2023.
He hinted their break-up was not his doing,
Lily has thrown herself into work since her marital split — including a starring role in a new production about destructive aristocrat Hedda Gabler at Bath's Theatre Royal.
She had a pop at her exes earlier this year, saying: 'I don't think there has been one person that has been remotely interested in my pleasure.'

This comes after he split with his wife Mindy after an "amazing 28 years together" Daddy Banter Richard Hammond's daughter Izzy calls him a t**t in Father's Day post as she shares adorable throwback clip Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) RICHARD Hammond's daughter Izzy calls him a t**t in Father's Day post as she shares adorable throwback clip. Richard's daughter Izzy had fans in stitches after cheekily branding him a 'not an idiot" in a hilarious Father's Day tribute - while also melting hearts with a sweet childhood video of the pair. 5 Izzy paid tribute to her dad this Father's day on Instagram Credit: Getty 5 She also shared a video from her childhood Credit: Instagram / izzyhammondx The Top Gear legend didn't seem to mind, as Izzy's post quickly racked up the likes for its mix of sass and sentiment. Taking to Instagram, Izzy wrote: "Recently, people have decided that I think you're an idiot. I do not. I think you're a twat x "Happy Father's Day. Hope you don't mind me giving the whole car thing a go. Love ya. "(Swipe to see me and Rich chatting rubbish on telly 20 years ago. Not much has changed)". The 24-year-old then shared a sweet moment with her dad captured on video. Izzy is a young child watching her dad draw and colour and they are calling each other "funny". Fans rushed to the comment section as they gushed over the pair. One said: "How lovely. Your dad doing some great artwork with his little girl." Another added: "I hope that one day, my daughter holds me in such high regard." A third penned: "My favourite father daughter duo." Richard Hammond and James May make 'traumatising' return to Top Gear a decade after quitting BBC series Richard has two daughters Izzy, 24, and Willow, 22, with his ex-wife Amanda "Mindy". They announced their split back in January, after an "amazing 28 years together". The Sun understands that newspaper columnist Mindy, 59, demanded the divorce after a source claimed she "wanted him gone". The news was shared by Richard, 55, on an X account which read: "A little update from us; this Christmas we were together as a family and this year we will still be a family but just structured a bit differently. Richard Hammond's career through the decades By Summer Raemason Richard was born in Birmingham in 1970 and studied photography, as well as television production. He kickstarted his career in broadcasting at BBC Radio York. This saw him land another role at BBC Radio Cumbria, Leeds and Lancashire, before he left in 1995 to follow his passion for cars. He always dreamt of presenting motoring TV shows but initially took a job working in PR after leaving the BBC. He was involved in corporate events for clients including the Ferrari Owners' Club and Renault Sport. In 1998 he earned his debut motoring TV job on, hosting Motorweek on Satellite channel Men & Motors. This opened up many more avenues on screen and eventually he found his way to presenting Top Gear in 2002. The household show garnered up to six million viewers at its peak. While filming with Top Gear Richard crashed in a jet-powered traveling at over 300 mph. The dad-of-two is one of the only people to have ever survived such a horror smash. Hammond has also hosted science and nature programmes including Should I Worry About? on BBC One. Other TV projects for the BBC included being the face of Battle of the Geeks, Time Commanders and featuring as a team captain on Petrol Heads. He also presented ITV's eponymous Richard Hammond's Five O'Clock Show and Sky One's Brainiac. "Our marriage is coming to end, but we've had an amazing 28 years together and two incredible daughters. "We will always be in each other's lives and are proud of the family we created. "We won't be commenting further and sincerely hope that our privacy and that of our children will be respected at this time. With Love, Richard and Mindy." It is believed Mindy is asking to keep their £7million Bollitree Castle estate, in Herefordshire, as they draw up divorce settlements. The source told The Sun: 'Richard is very upset about all this. It seems he has tried hard to rekindle the relationship but to no avail. 'There is no speculation that any third party is involved.' The couple met in 1995 and Richard wrote previously in his autobiography, On The Edge: My Story: "In an instant, I fell in love with her and realised I had met my soul-mate and best friend for life." After they tied the knot in 2002, the pair snapped up a grade II listed Bollitree Castle in 2008. It boasts six bedrooms, a swimming pool and 20 acres of land. Despite Richard's on screen presence, the pair have largely kept their relationship, and two daughters, out of the limelight. It's estimated their father, a former Top Gear legend alongside Jeremy Clarkson and James May, has a net worth of around £70million. 5 Mindy demanded the divorce after a source claimed she "wanted him gone" Credit: Getty 5 The pair have largely kept their relationship, and two daughters, out of the limelight Credit: Getty

Remember Monday star shares big update on ‘stolen' engagement ring after Eurovision
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) REMEMBER Monday star Holly-Anne Hull has shared a big update on her engagement ring which was "stolen" after Eurovision. The singer, 30, revealed last month how the pricey ring has "gone missing", leaving her devastated, Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Remember Monday's Holly-Anne Hull has spoken out about her missing engagement ring Credit: The Sun 5 The piece of precious jewellery went after the Eurovision Song Contest Credit: Getty 5 The Sun chatted to Remember Monday at the Capital Summertime Ball Credit: The Sun Holly - who is one third of the British Eurovision act Remember Monday along with Lauren Byrne, 30, and Charlotte Steele, 31 - has spoken out about her missing ring. Asked about her ring by The Sun backstage at the Capital Summertime Ball, the singer said: "It's, erm, it has gone. "We have lost the ring, it's ok." We asked Holy if she would be replacing the missing jewellery, and she told us: "Oh I got a tattoo of his initial because how nice that is." It comes after The Sun revealed Holly had feared her jewellery was 'pinched'. It came about after she removed both her wedding and engagement rings for the performance of their song What The Hell Just Happened? at Eurovision on May 17. Shortly after, the singer spoke about her nightmare during an interview on Capital FM's Breakfast Show. Host Chris Stark asked: "Holly, very quickly, did I read you lost your wedding ring?" The girls remained silent for several seconds before Holly replied: "Yep. It's my engagement ring. "I found my wedding ring but my engagement ring is gone. Remember Monday star Lauren Byrne is last Eurovision contestant standing as she parties until 6am after defeat "I honestly don't know where it is. I am so upset about it. "It's something silly, like it's in the hotel room. It's not like I went on a wild night out and lost it. It's like I've misplaced it because I'm so silly and my brain was scattered all over the place." Chris' co-host Sian Welby asked: "Are you still in the hotel now, or are you home? Holly told her "I'm in my house. I've had to say goodbye to her." Holly-Anne wed her partner Craig in 2023. Together with bandmates Lauren and Charlotte Steele she performed at Eurovision last month and finished in 19th place. The group were tenth after the jury vote but sadly, as they received no points from the public, the trio were sent tumbling down the leaderboard. But despite their defeat, Remember Monday stood proud, and Charlotte said: "I can't explain how amazing the whole thing has been. It has been more than we could have ever wished for. "We are so proud of what we did and just the whole build up was just so fantastic. "We had about an hour's sleep before our flight home yesterday. We had so much fun!" 5 Remember Monday represented the UK at Eurovision last month Credit: Splash
