Pictures taken on Wednesday show Wayne and his mystery woman shopping together in London
She was spotted trying out all the gifts her boyfriend bought for her, while her boyfriend modeled the lavish gifts.
Wayne also made time for fans who approached him for selfies and a chat during his shopping trip.
When contacted, a representative for Wayne told the Daily Mail: ‘Wayne is single and has been for some time; photos show him having fun in London.
‘As always, pictures can sometimes give a slightly misleading impression, but there’s nothing else to read.
‘He remains single and is set to return to Ibiza in the coming weeks for the start of the season and will also celebrate his birthday with his family on the island later this month.’
The club’s promoter previously revealed what his ‘ideal’ woman would be during Channel 4’s Celebs Go Dating programme.
She explained: ‘I don’t want a party girl. I’m looking for someone a little older than I’m used to, somewhere around 40.
‘I would love someone I could settle down with. This is now my ultimate goal and the final piece of my puzzle. It’s all coming together, I just need a girlfriend.’
Just three weeks before the trip, Wayne told the Daily Mail that the only thing missing in his life was love.
‘I would love someone I could settle down with. This is now my ultimate goal and the final piece of my puzzle. “Everything is coming together, I just need a girlfriend,” he said.
Wayne is currently enjoying a relaxing getaway in the Maldives before returning to Ibiza for the opening weekend.
‘Yes, I’m going back to the magic island. I’m not sure how long I can last, but I’m not thinking too far ahead. “One day at a time,” Wayne shared.
He is scheduled to return to the O Beach club for two weeks but will prioritize his health.

Wayne had his last drink (a glass of red wine) at Ibiza airport on July 7 while waiting for his flight back to Stansted. He spent a few days at a spa before checking into The Priory Life Works House rehab facility in Surrey for six weeks.
‘I wasn’t behaving well and I wasn’t feeling well. I wasn’t feeling healthy and it finally caught up with me.’
Wayne, who has now been sober for eight months and swapped his hedonistic life in Ibiza for the calmer climes of Essex, told how he felt the best he had for years.
‘It’s a very different life for me now. I’m jumping out of bed. I’m looking forward to the day. I can’t even describe how good I feel compared to the terrible feeling I feel every day.
‘I was anxious, sore and very tired. But now I feel great.’
Wayne has been single for eight years, since splitting from ex-fiancée Danielle Sandhu, 33.
The couple was together for four years before splitting.
She candidly said that ‘it’s hard to change’ and branded their relationship ‘beautiful’.
‘He was truly perfect. “Eventually she started her modeling career and I was seeing less of her,” she admitted.

“Our relationship is good at the moment and it should be,” he told the Daily Mail last month. ‘Life is too short and I think we both realize that.
‘But we are not what we used to be. We were very close, we played golf, we would go to his house for Sunday lunch. We’re not at that level, but we’re in a good place right now. And I’m very happy about it.’
After Wayne and his brother Gary put an end to their 17-year feud, everything in Wayne’s life seems to be going well.
While Wayne emphasized that they’re not at the point where they’ll be playing golf together or enjoying a Sunday roast, he said they’re in a “beautiful place.”
