Following her split from Zayn Malik, Little Mix singer Perrie, 22, was reported to have enjoyed some dates with 25-year-old former TOWIE star Joey.
After first meeting at the Pride of Britain Awards, Joey and Perrie swapped numbers before he attempted to get her over the split from 22-year-old Zayn.
Speaking to the Mirror, Joey said: “We exchanged numbers, then we met up a few times.
“She’s just come out of a serious relationship and I’ve had serious relationships in the past. She just needs to go out and have fun.”
But Joey was a bit more coy when asked if they’d shared a kiss. He responded: “Obviously, we done what we done. She’s a really nice girl. She’s in Australia now.”
Earlier this month the newspaper broke the news of Joey and Perrie’s relationship and claimed they were enjoying getting to know each other.
A source said: “It’s very early days, but Perrie likes Joey because he makes her laugh.
“They are just getting to know each other and taking things slowly, but Joey is already smitten.”
And Perrie recently admitted she’s ready to start dating again. During a promotional interview she said: “I’m having an absolute blast. I’m feeling brilliant and I’m in a good place.”
