The Only Way Is Essex's Sam Faiers apparently snubbed flirty texts from Leo (as in Leonardo Di Caprio, yes) after exchanging numbers with the hunk during a visit to… well, to Magaluf.

Yes, it sounds like the sort of stuff made for a TOWIE Comic Relief special, but sources insist that the pair met whilst dining at Wellie's restaurant on the famous Spanish island.

But, surprisingly, Sam turned down Leo - and it was partly due to the fact she still had lingering feelings for ex-squeeze Joey Essex.

Sources explained to Now! magazine: "Sam didn’t want to be linked to someone who has a reputation for being a ladies’ man – even if he is an A-lister.

"She has a responsibility to young girls who admire her. But above all, while Sam thinks Leo is hot, he’s not a patch on Joey, she said Joey is ‘way better looking’.”

And, just in case anyone disagreed with Sam's choice, the source continued: "Joey seems all sweet and innocent on TV but if Leo can’t live up to him he clearly has a secret something that keeps Sam coming back."

We wonder what THAT means? Perhaps they're implying that Joey Essex should have been in the running for the lead role in the upcoming Fifty Shades Of Grey movie…

Better luck next time Leo!
