TOWIE beauty Jess, 29, admitted that, while she and footballer Connor, 22, got on well, the age-gap was too big for her.

Speaking to the Mirror, she said: “We had a little bit of a holiday flirt, but he’s too young for me. Connor’s a really lovely guy and we still speak, but I didn’t want to settle down.

“It was not going there, but it could have potentially gone there. I’m too busy at the moment to even think about a relationship like that.”

It seems Jess is fighting off the men lately. After having a brief relationship with Dan Edgar earlier this year, she and The Only Way Is Essex newcomer Peter Wicks were getting close in the latest series.

Jess continued: “It was the hardest series I’ve done. I’m still hanging out with Dan. He’s in Ibiza celebrating Joey Essex’s birthday.

“But we only had our first ever kiss in the last episode. We were dating, then all the drama [with Lauren Pope] stopped it from happening.”

She suggested that things aren't over between her and Dan

Despite insisting that she’s definitely single right now, Jess suggested that there could be something between her and Dan down the line.

During the last series, Jess fell out with Lauren when it was revealed she and Dan had been dating – but Jess isn’t holding any grudges.

She added: “You don’t really discuss the status of your relationship in real life. But I do like Dan a lot as he’s so laid back.

“He handled the whole situation amazingly. I don’t think Dan would ever screw me over.”
