Christine, 37, and the actress exchanged messages in the days after but their brief romance quickly fizzled out.
Their encounter came in 2023, the year after mum-of-three Christine split from her ex-Top Gear host husband, Paddy McGuinness, 51.
A source said: 'Christine was single at the time and they really enjoyed the evening of the awards bash. There was a strong chemistry between them and they shared some messages but it never went any further after that.'
The well-known actress, whom we are not naming, has previously been in relationships with men.
Christine split from Paddy after 11 years of marriage.
They announced their split in July 2022, days after Christine revealed in an interview with The Sun on Sunday's Fabulous magazine that they were going through a 'very, very difficult time'.
The pair still live together in their £6.5million Cheshire mansion for the sake of their children, despite the divorce.
Months after their marriage ended, Christine was pictured kissing singer Chelcee Grimes, 33.
Christine spoke out about her sexuality for the first time last month, revealing she has dated both sexes since she was a teen.
Speaking on the How To Fail podcast, she said: 'I'm at the point where I think I've got a nice balance of going, 'Yeah I date women and so what? What's the big deal?'

'But also knowing I don't have to go into big, massive detail about it either.
'A lot of people ask me, 'Are you a lesbian? Are you bisexual? Is this a phase?'.
'I've always been quite a free spirit. I think that's the only word I would put on it.
'When I was a teenager, I'd dated boys and girls. I never felt it was anything different or a big deal.'
A representative for Christine was approached for comment over her fling with the actress.

Girls Aloud icon shares huge career move after emotional reunion tour
A Girls Aloud icon revealed her new career plans after going on a reunion tour in memory of the late Sarah Harding Girls Aloud icon Kimberley Walsh shared her desire to create another music competition that would create a "really amazing girl band". The 43-year-old star recently reunited with bandmates Cheryl Tweedy, Nicola Roberts and Nadine Coyle for a mammoth tour in honour of the late Sarah Harding, performing across the nation. Kimberley was over the moon with the fans' reaction to the stars reuniting for the tour and admitted she thinks the UK needs another iconic girl group as there is "space for more". The singer said she's had a few chats with a commissioner about a possible competition programme. "There is actually a guy that I knew from years and years ago that worked on our Pop Stars: The Rivals programme and we were saying that maybe it's time to create another show that would create a really amazing girl band," she said. "I feel like the reaction to us coming back was quite something and none of us really expected it to be quite so huge, which clearly shows people still love girl bands and there's a space for more," Kimberley added to The Sun. The star also said she only wants to be a mentor if a programme were to be created. She went on to say that no new groups 'coming out' and claimed they haven't been seen in the mainstream media anymore. Kimberley took to Twitter the night before Girls Aloud's final concert on March 20 last year, to confirm that she was about to perform at their "penultimate show". Throughout the emotional concert, Sarah's memory was kept very much alive, with her iconic "Take a walk on the wild side of life," from Something New being played across the arenas. As the band wrapped up their performance, a huge screen appeared on stage during The Promise, allowing Sarah to shine once again as she belted out: "So here I am, a walking primrose, wondering when I'm gonna see you again," as fans and the band cheered for the late star. Moments before the four girls walked off stage, a photograph of Sarah appeared behind them alongside the text: "In loving memory of Sarah Nicole Harding. 17.11.81 05.09.2021." The late singer tragically died aged 39 – after confirming her initial diagnosis of breast cancer had advanced to various parts of her body. Despite her diagnosis, Sarah continued to put on a fight and updated fans on her condition. Although she was initially responding well to treatment, she sadly died on September 5, 2021, surrounded by her family.
