Bit of Pep in the step for Celine

CELINE Dion takes a jaunt around Paris arm in arm with her backing dancer Pepe Munoz.

Sources claim the 49-year-old singer is just friends with her hunky escort — even though the pair have been seen on several occasions together recently.

On Tuesday, they were outside Hotel Ritz in the French capital.

The Canadian is relaunching her career with an international tour after a tough 2016 when she lost her husband of 22 years, Rene, 73, to throat cancer.

Her brother Daniel, 59, died two days later also from cancer.
