Speaking to The Sun Online, Olly said: "I just find it funny.

"That’s the world I live in in the dating world. If you like anyone’s photos you’re automatically dating them, it’s just crazy."

Olly did confess to bumping into Zara on a night out following her split from Adam Collard, admitting they chatted about music because she loves to sing.

"I'd seen on her Instagram that she likes to sing and as a fellow singer you go 'wow, you're a really good singer'.

"That doesn’t mean I’m dating someone, that’s giving someone a compliment."

Olly also said that he had ruled out dating a fellow celebrity because it gives him "anxiety" as he is a private person. The Troublemaker singer is not giving up on love though as he hopes to marry a woman who makes him “feel alive”.
