Noel Fielding made a rare public appearance on Saturday with his partner Lliana Bird as they attended British Summertime Hyde Park together.
Earlier this year, the 52-year-old presenter and comedian starting to regain his presence on social media following concerns for his health.
He then made a return to hosting Bake Off, after there were reportedly discussions he would be stepping down.
Since then, Noel has kept out of the spotlight, with the festival in London this weekend being an unexpected sighting.
He was seen in good spirits as he watched Neil Young headline the event – before it was announced that the festival is cancelled tomorrow.
It will no longer be going ahead after Jeff Lynne’s Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) pulled out of the headline slot.

Musician Lynne, 77, who was billed to play on Sunday alongside his band, decided against performing on the advice of doctors following a ‘systemic infection’.
A statement from organisers said: ‘Following the news that Jeff Lynne’s ELO will not be able to perform at BST Hyde Park due to medical reasons, Sunday 13 July’s event will sadly be cancelled.
‘Ticket holders will be refunded and contacted directly by their ticket agent with further details.’
Noel’s partner Lliana – who is a broadcaster and writer – was by his side as they enjoyed the day out together, reportedly accompanied by his brother Michael, too.
Lliana, 43, looked gorgeous in a floaty heart-printed smock dress and a pair of dark shades.
The pair walked side-by-side as they headed to the main stage, with Noel stopping for photos with fans as he strolled through the park.
Noel looked cool in a pink shirt and cowboy hat, adding a leather biker jacket for extra detail.
It comes after towards the end of last year, reports stated Noel did not show up for Dick Turpin filming after the Christmas holidays, despite two thirds of the series already filmed.

Dick Turpin insiders said Noel, who played the lead role of the legendary highwayman, was unavailable for scheduled and rescheduled filming dates.
Cast and crew were told at the time that it had been scrapped due to ‘the illness of a key cast member’.
A spokesperson for Noel told the Mail: ‘This is a private and confidential matter regarding our client’s health. We are saddened by the decision to cease production but we cannot make any further comment on this matter.’
A source close to the show told The Times: ‘Noel has said that he can’t film any more and so there was no choice but to stop.
‘It’s not a decision that was taken lightly and they wouldn’t have got to this extreme result if every possible solution hadn’t been exhausted.
‘People have been very concerned about Noel’s wellbeing and given him time to recover but there are also significant repercussions. Some people are furious.’
Nothing has been confirmed regarding his mystery illness, but it seems the presenter is up and running on his feet again.
